Kyoto—Snow Maiden of Japan
If you are visiting Japan, Kyoto is the first destination you should aim to. Kyoto is a large city located on the main island Honshu, in the Kansai region southwest of Lake Biwa. Former capital of Japan named Heian-kyo during the emperors’ era, it abounds in sanctuaries, historical temples and monuments classified as a World Heritage Site by Unesco. It is often considered the traditional Japanese city. Whenever you go to Kyoto there is always a place to visit and to admire. This blog will help you get the picture on which place is better depending on the season.
Heian-jingu Shrine is a shinto sanctuary located north-east of Kyoto. Built in 1895, the complex pays tribute to the city that was the imperial capital of Japan during the Heian period in antiquity. In spring, the walk under the weeping cherry trees to the pink sustained is worth the detour. The visit reaches its full potential at the end of the season of the sakura, when the cherry trees reveal their beautiful falling branches adorned with rosy colors. Arashiyama is an area in the western suburbs of Kyoto. Initially a walk for the Imperial Court, today tourists flock there from the Togetsukyo Bridge. They admire the views between its mountains blooming in spring and colored red in autumn. The magnificent bamboo plantation brings its touch of green in all seasons. It is one of the most beautiful places in all Kansai area and people go there during sakura season to see the flowers blooming.
Truly, Kyoto is one of those cities that has a haunting beauty and will always be one of the top tourist spots if ever you are in the region of Honshu.
