Kyoto always seems like my go-to spot to visit whenever I do day trips from Nagoya. It’s about an hour away by bullet train and there’s enough places I enjoy visiting that I just alternate between locations whenever I go. This time I took Taku-san’s recommendation and visited Kitano-Tenmangu to see the plum blossoms and I also went to Njio Castle for the first time. <\/p>\n

After arriving at Kyoto Station I took the JR Sagano line over to Enmachi Station, then walked about 25 minutes to Kitano-Tenmangu. Enmachi isn’t the closest station, but because it’s on the JR line I could use it with my rail pass. Plus it was a nice day for walking, so I didn’t mind taking my time to get there. (I was still recuperating from my earlier throwing-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-incident, but I guess this was my version of taking it easy lol.)<\/p>\n

Once I got to Kitano-Tenmangu I could already see the plum blossom trees out in the front. It wasn’t quite at full bloom yet, so I didn’t feel the need to pay extra to visit the gardens. I just took my time inside to thoroughly enjoy the grounds. <\/p>\n

After my visit, I made my way back to Enmachi Station where I took the train over to Saga Arashiyama Station. (Essentially I only took one line the entire time I was in Kyoto, so it’s super convenient to get around.) Once I arrived at the station, I walked over to the main streets and had a late lunch at a restaurant which overlooked the river. Since my appetite wasn’t quite back to normal, having a meal of yudofu<\/em> was just what I needed!<\/p>\n

For my last stop, I took the train over to Njio Station where I visited Nijo Castle. Aside from the gates and the gardens, the main attractions are the Ninomaru Palace with its famed nightingale floors and the ruins of the Honmaru Palace. Since I arrived late in the afternoon I didn’t quite have the recommended two hours to enjoy the castle, but I definitely made use of the time I had inside. <\/p>\n

Overall Kyoto is still one of my favourite spots to visit in Japan. No matter how many times I’ve been there’s always so many more hidden gems to discover!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
