awu45Kinkaku Temple, also known as Luyuan Temple, is a famous monastery in the Kamakura period in Japan. It is built in the lake of the center of the pure Japanese courtyard. The second and third floors are painted with gold paint and gold foil, so it looks particularly magnificent. There is also a golden phoenix on the roof. It is said that it has been burned in the past. Now it is a restored version, and it is included in the world cultural heritage! When we went, we met a lot of primary and secondary school students who came to visit and study. We had to queue up for a while to take a photo! Fortunately, the sky is beautiful, under the blue sky and white clouds, the reflection of the Golden Pavilion Temple in the lake is more spectacular, and walking around the lake can see its beauty from different angles. Although it was not the maple leaf season when we went, it did not affect its beauty at all. I believe that in the maple leaf season, the scenery here will be more fascinating! Kinkaku Temple is on the west side of Kyoto. Generally, if you play, you can list it on a line with the Busan train. Two attractions are leisurely for a long time. If you have energy, you can return to the city to Shopping PS: His small schoolbag is particularly cute. It's a good choice to buy it for children 👍Kyoto6.6km from Kyoto Station and surrounding areas

徐团Before going to Kyoto, I knew that Kyoto Tower was one of the landmark buildings, so I planned to go and see it if I had the chance.
Online introduction: Kyoto Tower is an observation tower located in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City, Japan. It is across the street from the Karasuma Central Exit of Kyoto Station and is one of the famous landmarks in the station area. Kyoto Tower is maintained and operated by Kyoto Tower Co., Ltd., which is affiliated with Keihan Electric Railway Group. Including the "Kyoto Tower Building" as the base of the tower, the total height is 131 meters.
When traveling in Kyoto City, you can see the figure of Kyoto Tower from afar from time to time. The hotel I stayed in was near Kyoto Station. I had dinner at a restaurant in Kyoto Station. After dinner, I went to see the night view of Kyoto Tower.Kyoto204m from Kyoto Station and surrounding areasFrom AU$ 9.22
