[JAPAN] Drinking The Holy Water From Otowa Waterfall at Kiyomizudera Temple, Kyoto

We visited the Kiyomizu-dera Temple (Temple of Water – July 29, 2014 at 13.45pm) immediately after we visited Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine in Kyoto, Japan. We do not expect the road to the temple is very uphill. Apparently all transportation; car, bus, motorcycle or bicycle, cannot directly go to the temple because the road towards the temple has narrowed. That’s why all vehicles must be parked in the parking area far below...

Both of us finally travelled around Kyoto by bike and our first destination was this stunning Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine. It’s the place that you should go while in Kyoto.

Even though there were a lot of visitors at the temple, the further we go it’s getting quieter. We took a lot...

[JAPAN TIPS] Cycling Around and Explore Wonderful Temples in Kyoto

As I said before, I will share our great and fun cycling moments in Kyoto, which I experienced together with my husband a few weeks ago from our vacation. I loved being in this city because I can explore many sites in Kyoto easily by bicycle, and I got the opportunity to experience a traditional Japanese lifestyle with tatami floors and futon beds when we stayed in Kanko Ryokan Hotel Omiya for three days and two nights. Oh well, I...
