So here is my second post of my time in Japan!
As time went on, I traveled further and my confidence led me to master Japanese train maps!Kyoto was one of my favourite places to visit, it's scenery was astonishing.There seemed to be a refreshing balance of warm-coloured Autumn leaves and the crisp Autumn breeze rustling the streets.
Kyoto was my favourite place to be, so scenic and natural. It was lovely to
get away from the hustle and bustle of normal every-day Japan life. Kyoto was
originally the capital of Japan and many Japanese films such as 'Kurosawa' and
' sisters of the gion' were filmed here in the village of 'Gion'. This was one
of the most important geisha districts in Japan although they prefered to call
themselves 'geiko' which means 'a woman of art'.
The narrow streets of Gion
reflect a lot of history and the beauty of it remains still an attribute to
Japan, a place where tourists can learn for themselves what once went on at Gion.
There are chances to dress up as geishas and to visit temples and beautiful
parks. If you head up to the huge 500 ton Buddah at the top of Gion, you will
find a war memorial for those that died in World War II and spectacular views
across Kyoto. Breathtaking.
Lots of pictures below to nose at!

Kyoto is such a beautiful city isn't it? I've been living in Tokyo in my entire life and have been to Kyoto only once, which was like 13 years ago and I don't remember much :( But I still remember I was amazed by the landscape.
