Kinkaku-ji, the Golden Pavilion

Inspired by video from @shinjiaratani.  Thank you for the memories, almost 60 years ago when I visited Kyoto.

Golden Pavilion in Kyoto

[nfornaomi]

Our last full day in Kyoto consisted Fushimi Inari, the Golden Pavilion, Imperial Palace, and the Arashiyama bamboo forest.

Fushimi Inari is an important Shinto shrine most well known for its thousands of torii gates going up Mt. Inari. There are tons of fox statues as they're thought to be messengers for Inari (the Shinto god of rice). Why they're wearing red bibs / aprons, I have no idea 😅. Pro tourist tip is to not bother taking any pictures at the start of the walk because the crowds thin out considerably as you go up!

On the way to Kyoto Imperial Palace we enjoyed walking beside a river with tourists and locals alike enjoying the sunny day. We randomly saw a set of rocks crossing the river and since we needed to go to the other side anyway, Rob decided we should embark on the rock river crossing 😆. Let's say many people watched us hop over, probably thinking we were crazy because the water was covering over most of the rocks! But it was fun and worth my socks being wet for the rest of the day!

Kyoto Imperial Palace used to be the former palace of Japan's emperors, before the capital moved to Tokyo. It's a lovely area situated in a large park and you can walk through a well marked path viewing various restored buildings.

I didn't love the Golden Pavilion (Kinkakuji) the last time I visited because I found the gold to be too ostentatious, and I still feel the same 🙂🙃. The temple used to be a shogun's retirement villa and then turned into a Zen temple. It's possible to walk around, but not go inside.

We made it to the bamboo forest right before sunset but there were still plenty of people in the area. Funny story - I took some photos for a middle-aged couple and the woman offered to take some photos for us in return. She's snapping away and saying, "I'm not very good at this..." while her husband is trying to give her some pointers at her side. We thought she was just being humble, but she was VERY SERIOUS as you can see from the picture below 😂🤣.

We explored beautiful Kyoto today, starting with the Golden Pavilion ❤️ It looked spectacular in the clear sky, and the reflection in the water was almost a 1:1 image.
