Kyoto, Japan

 

Which city to explore?

In guide books, Tokyo always comes up first as a suggested city, but I know I wanted to see the old Japan, with temples, wooden houses, Geisha, etc. so I picked Kyoto as my first city in my itinerary then I went to Tokyo afterward, which will be in a different post. 

*Tip: If you're planning to hit multiple cities, I suggest you get a JR PASS. Saved me a lot of money and very convenient to use during the whole trip. 

Without further ado, below are my photos from Kyoto.

GION DISTRICT

One of my favorite sights in Kyoto. I could basically stay here and people watch all day.
