Kyoto Part 1


i love Kyoto!! i'm definitely going back there again during aki,autmn! must save money money!! one of the nicest cities i've been to here and so many things to see!

1.this one is a disappointment though.ryouanji, the place with the over rated stone garden. too many tourists and the size!so small, not tranquil at all.. sigh.. but here is it for u to see.
2.just beside the stone garden, the green garden!somehow, i liked this part
3.one of Japan's most famous sights, the Kinkaku-Ji,the Golden Pavillion. It's covered in gold leafs making it shiny(mc said it's yellowish but i beg to differ)
4. from another view

5. would really think this place would kick ass in autumn! def a must see.

6.Kinkaku-Ji's Poor Sibling,Ginkaku-Ji(Silver Pavillion). I call it poor cause u cant find a speck of silver here!


7.the top view
8.what it lacks in riches,it makes up beauty.one of the nicest gardens i've been to here. a very nice blend of stones and greenery.
9.another pic of the garden.
10. garden plus temple
11. look at how the rotten the temple is. broken down like hell d, but it's still a UNESCO heritage nonetheless. i also think they're doing some restoration work to it.
