Kyoto’s Higashiyama District Walking tour

On October 8, 2024, we left the Hotel Higashiyama and headed out on foot, following the walking tour from the GPSmycity app on my phone. We visited the Chion-in Temple, continued on past Maruyama Park, stopped by the Yasaka-jinja Shrine where we admired many pretty women and girls dressed in Kimonos to visit the shrine to beauty, passed through Nene-no-Michi Lane, and headed up Ninen-zaka and Sannen-zakaa streets toward Kiyomizu-dera Temple… our goal for the day. We never made it to the temple. The rain started to fall and we had no umbrella or warm clothes with us. The GPSmycity app earned its place on my phone by guiding us through streets and neighborhoods to the next metro station, which was NOT close!
