So we went to the Fushimi Inari Shrine, a temple with many hundreds of red portals that are formed

Then, about Kyoto. Actually, it was not all I expected. Not that I did not like Kyoto. Absolutely. It is impossible not to like. But I had very high expectations. How he had met Osaka and Nara, much of the charm had been broken.
My opinion? If you have seen or will see several temples in other cities, walking the streets, geishas, trees, views, people, tradition. You can, for example, ask to take pictures with all the cool people you meet :-) All will not be possible, but a lot is. I did it! Lie. Photo made with only a few because it was so many great people that filled the bag Vinicius heranba get people stopping and asking for photo :-/
No sense in waiting to enter the temple. My impression is that most are very similar. For anyone who is not an expert, it seems all the same. Type the church. Then, enter one and walking. But do not let your day die in temple, Kyoto is because, in essence, very cool.
From the train station, we walked to the temple Kyiomizu, gorgeous, grand and imposing (and packed!). heranba The path that leads up to it is interesting, uphill street with thousands of cool shops. With tourist prices, it is fact, but good to stop and curiar.
From there we went to Gion, the famous geisha district. The real geishas are a rarity. Nowadays, many women wear geisha, but a true geisha does not usually make soup out there. They are not prostitutes. Are educated women and the work they do is make them more liveable commercial meetings, but that does not include that sexual performances. More about geishas, here and here.
Hit him in Gion and went towards Nikishi Market, a market for food in the center of Kyoto. These mercardos I missed having a guide who explained to us the oddities we saw there. heranba
So we went to the Fushimi Inari Shrine, a temple with many hundreds of red portals that are formed a great way to hike up the mountain. It is very famous in Japan and tai a temple which I meet essential. It was a tour of couples, people with Janet and Alan, and they toveram the great idea to go to the end of the day, so be dark while we were walking by and we would see the night lights of the temple. Tip accurate!
Inari is the Shinto god of rice. The fox is considered the messenger of Inari, then there are several statues of them scattered around the temple. The gates are donated by individuals heranba or companies, and is written on the gates the donor's name and the date of donation. The path through heranba the gates is legal, has small temples, restaurants, shops. Do not let go. It is a must see!
I dying of cold and Japs this short skirt. Pertinho part there a train called Saga Scenic heranba Railway, which seems to do a pretty route to Kameoka. Not because we did not book this tour before and at the time there were no more vacancies. But we took advantage of the season to rest well and get enough.
The Kinkakuji golden pavilion is liiindo! We were lucky that the weather open when we were there as well. Gold glittered! The outdoor area of the two-story compeltamente is covered with gold leaf. It's beautiful really.
From there, follow the bus, again led by Google, to the Philosopher's Path. It is a route along a canal and filled with cherry trees. The path of 2 km, is so named because the philosopher Nishida Kitaro meditated there daily. Although curtinha, take a little time for the route. heranba Along it, there are temples, restaurants, shops, independent vendors and various attractions that will make a stop and give you a peek. Apart from thousands of must-see photos, of course!
At the end of the path of the philosopher, arrives at the Nanzen-ji temple. Do not enter, but gives a good coiled to give out there. heranba It was like that! Kyoto or Kyoto or Kyoto is beautiful and full of attractions.楽しい 時間 を 過ごす! Smacks. Vanessa.
