Regardless of whether it is domestic or foreign, all kinds of people will visit Japan, and it is very likely that they will go to the popular sightseeing city "Kyoto". So this time, I would like to introduce the "Kyoto One-Day Tour Guide" for a solo trip from Tokyo Station. Because it is one person, the whole travel guide will be a little different, and there is a different enjoyment with Kyoto with family, lovers, and friends, and it is relatively simple and relaxed, but the play is all the essence Oh ~ ~
9:00 Kyoto Station Start Tour!
Is it too early to come to Kyoto Station at 9 o'clock? No, it won't! This is the intersection of the JR Shinkansen and the Nippon Line, Japan Railway, and the Kyoto City Subway, and it's always crowded, so it's probably better to come early, so in order to enjoy a day trip to Kyoto, try to get up early in the morning! If you don't change trains on the Shinkansen, it doesn't matter if you are confused in the car, if you go to Tokyo Station by Shinkansen, it takes about 2 to 3 hours to Kyoto Station, during which you will arrive for a while.
Arrive at "Arashiyama" around 10:00
First of all, take the JR Sagano Line from Kyoto Station to Saga-Arashiyama Station, which is about 30 minutes by train. There are other modes of transportation to Arashiyama, such as buses, but this tour plan with Kyoto Station as the starting point is recommended by train.
Located in Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City, Arashiyama is one of the few sightseeing spots in Kyoto. With Arashiyama as the center, there are many famous local temples in the northern area, and although it looks very lively, on weekdays, on Saturdays and Sundays, and there are many people in high season, it gives people a relaxed feeling, and because of this, there are many of my favorite places, and the old streets that retain the full style of the past make people feel like they are in a Japanese period drama.
Although it is summer, but thanks to the river, the weather is very cool, walking, found a yellow cruise ship that can be taken, I did not have the courage to travel alone, silently decided to go next time, the Tozuki Bridge and the bamboo forest have a lot of tourists, for people who are "afraid of many people..." it is recommended to walk along the river from Arashiyama Park, and the cheese stick near the Tozuki Bridge is delicious, you can eat while walking, I think it is best to go in September during the autumn foliage period, with a telephoto lens, you can take a very good photo.
Take a photo at the "kimonorest" around 10:30
Not far from Saga-Arashiyama Station, there is Arashiyama Station on the Kyofuku Electric Railway Arashiyama Line, which is a photogenic attraction on the SNS, "Kinmonorest", and the starting station of the Arashiyama Main Line. From here to Shijo Omiya Station, the train becomes a tram, and many people visit the area around the station. Arashiyama's Tenryuji Temple is right in front of this station, and there are foot baths in the station, which is the best place to wait for the tram to come.
At this site, about 600 pole stakes made with "Yuzen" (a unique Japanese printing and dyeing technique) stand side by side like a forest, and this brightly colored Japanese-style pattern pillar is only visible here, which is also a major feature, so be sure to check it out when you come to Arashiyama.
Take a break at THE EX Café around 11:00
If you like to take photos at "Kinmonorest", go to a café that can be reached on foot in 2 minutes. "eX cafe" is a must-visit shop in Arashiyama, with sofa seats and private rooms, and although this is a popular shop that is bound to queue up at noon, it can avoid crowding if you go early.
Although there is also a gourmet menu, since it is 3 o'clock on this day, I decided to order desserts. The shop's famous product "hot dumpling set" can be eaten with the charcoal stove to freshly baked dumplings, mugwort white skewers with matcha, 1220 yen, about 80 yuan, hot dumplings are very delicious, and the accompanying hand wash sauce and red bean sauce is also very good.
You can also bake it according to your favorite baking method, plus a lot of hand washing and adzuki beans, very tasty! Because the portions are also very large, it is very full! It can be used as lunch, and a combination of balls and matcha is recommended! There are two kinds of dumplings, ordinary and mugwort, and the side dishes are served with two kinds of hand wash and red beans. The two kinds of dumplings are grilled in exchange, accompanied by side dishes, and then a dessert, it is simply delicious!!
Around 12:30, enjoy the stunning scenery at the "Todotsu Bridge"!
After enjoying brunch at a café, the next one is to go to the "Bridge of the Moon". It's about a 2-minute walk from EX Cafe. The Togetsu Bridge across the KatsuraGawa river is very famous in Japan, located in Arashiyama, there are many souvenir shops near the bridge, always flowing from the deep mountains of the raging Katsura River, in order to withstand the river, the foot of the bridge used steel bars, but in order to protect the former landscape, the outside retained wooden structure, because it is a one-way street, so there are many people, many tourists are shooting on the bridge, it looks a little dangerous.
Depending on the season, the attitude of the bridge will change, and it will be beautiful at any time. Such a change is a place that you want to go to no matter how many times you want to go. During the autumn foliage season, the mountains of Arashiyama turn red, and the TogetsuBashi is also the most beautiful time at this time.
Around 14:00, the "Bamboo Forest Road" cheers up
After fully enjoying the stunning scenery of the Togetsu Bridge, the next step is to go to the "Bamboo Forest Road", the characteristics of this bamboo forest road, as the name suggests, is to walk in the bamboo forest, just walking can feel a nostalgic atmosphere, on the way to the bamboo forest, while walking in Arashiyama walk while going is a good choice, 10 minutes can arrive, also recommended to take a rickshaw, on the road of the bamboo forest, take a rickshaw to take a souvenir is very popular.
Because it is a sightseeing spot that represents Kyoto, it can be crowded at noon, so it is not bad to stagger the time at all! In the spring, it turns yellow as bamboo shoots grow. But in the summer, because of the new accumulation of nutrients, it turns into a beautiful green. When the sun is scorching in July, it is cool and comfortable... The endless bamboo forest is a breathtaking sight, and this bamboo forest is also very photogenic, so it is also a good choice to take an avatar photo in the background.
Around 15:30, we came to "Yasaka Koshindo Hall"
After an hour or so of the bamboo forest road, it is here that you bid farewell to Arashiyama. Take the Hankyu Train to Yasaka Koshindo, a must-see spot on a trip to Kyoto. The Great Black Mountain Kongo-ji Temple Yasaka Gung shindo hall is a temple located in Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. There are monkey ornaments that do not see, do not listen, do not speak, and the monkey binding that recently gave up desire to fulfill wishes is very popular, so I decided to visit, and the colorful monkey binding is very dreamy and very beautiful.
The colorful "tied monkeys" of "Yasaka Koshindo" stirs the hearts of young girls. Although you may be attracted to the photos, but once in a while, you write your wishes on the "tied monkeys" and hope that they can be fulfilled. Because there are too many people, I can't look slowly, the temple itself is not big, crowding is also a no way to do things, if you want to look slowly, it may be better to go early.
Around 17:00 go to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, an indispensable sightseeing site in Kyoto
When it comes to Kyoto, many people think of the famous Kiyomizu-dera Temple. It is about a 10-minute walk from Yasaka Koshindo Hall and about 15 minutes by bus from Kyoto Station, and is a temple that represents sightseeing in Kyoto. In particular, the cherry blossom season and the autumn foliage season are very beautiful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first scenery in Japan, so there are many people.
In addition, the landlord shrine in Kiyomizu-dera Temple is also very popular as a "god of friendship". It is said that after the wish is completed, there will definitely be lovers within three months! There is a Japanese saying: "Jumping off the Shimizu stage (indicating that if you are unsuccessful, you will become a ren)", the "Shimizu stage" in this sentence refers to the vast stage in front of the main hall of the temple, and from the "Shimizu Stage" protruding from the hillside, you can overlook the beautiful city of Kyoto, and the pillars supporting the stage do not use nails.
Kiyomizu-dera Temple is named after "Otowa Falls", it has been called "purified water" since ancient times, is a kind of famous water in the water, it is said to have gushed out for more than 1,000 years, is the first of the 10 famous waters in Japan, divided into three falling waterfalls, it is said that each has a different role, respectively, can realize the desire of "love", "school", "health (longevity)".
You may have heard of it, this three-story tower with a height of about 31 meters is the largest building in Japan's existing three-story tower, the bright vermilion paint is very beautiful, and it is especially eye-catching inside to enshrine the statue of the Great Sun Rulai and the Guanyin statue known for its compassion, depicting the Vajrayogini mandala, flying sky, dragon and so on on the ceiling and pillars with colorful colors.
Return to Kyoto Station at around 18:30 to end the tour
Before the Shinkansen time on the return trip, let's end the tour with the food from Kyoto Station! There are many restaurants in and around Kyoto Station, among which this "Wakuden" is famous as a famous Kyoto cuisine restaurant, take an escalator in front of the ticket gate of Kyoto Station, and then walk along the eating area called SUVACO, which is also a restaurant frequented by many people familiar with Kyoto, which is particularly popular, but I still think it is expensive.
Because there are not many people in the evening, so there is no need to queue, the store is also very quiet, sea bream tea rice plus rice bowl, noodles, etc., according to the different seasons, the content of the package will also change, of course, you can also choose the package according to your own likes, the amount is of course not as big as the country, more, eat a taste plus half full, before leaving Kyoto, simply taste the taste of high-end Japanese restaurants at the station Is also good!
This is an introduction to Kyoto's one-person travel day tour guide. You can also fully enjoy Kyoto on the day and make a lot of memories along the way. When you come to Japan to travel, in fact, a person can also play very comfortably, you can try this guide next time to kyoto to see Oh!
