Go to Kyoto Part 1
After lunch at Kyoto station, we took the subway and headed for Kitaoji station, which is the nearest station to Kinkakuji.

your photos send chills down my spine... brings back memories of my trip to japan 6 years ago... great pics! especially love the ones you took of kinkakuji
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments!
ReplyDeleteSo, since it's been 6 years, maybe it's time to re-visit Japan again? :)
There's so many places to visit in Japan, try some places where you've yet to visit.
Never been there before, but I just realise how similar Japan's subway station is to that of Seoul's! Even the walls, floor and color!
ReplyDeleteAnyway the photos seriously! I hope I can visit Japan someday. I bet Kinkakuji looks even better up front1
Yes. Japan is a nice place to take photos of. The Japanese are friendly and very helpful. You don't need to know any Japanese to get around Japan since there's English signage everywhere. Yes, Kinkakuji looks lovely, and I also love the view from Kiyomizudera (Nov2010 trip).
