We took the first Shinkansen to Kyoto station.
The departure time is 6:00am from Tokyo station.
We made it in time!

5 minutes by train from Kyoto Station.
Famous for its 10,000 red torii gates.
This is the setting for the Hollywood movie Memory of a Geisha.
3:Bamboo Forest
Next, we moved to Arashiyama and visited a bamboo grove.
The bamboo grove is 10 meters long and very exotic.
4: Tenryuji Temple
Next stop is Tenryuji Temple, a World Heritage Site.
This temple was founded in 1343 by the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism.
The tranquil garden is impressive.
5: Monkey Park
We went to Monkey Park in Arashiyama.
It is located on a hill overlooking the city of Kyoto and is home to about 120 Japanese monkeys.
Humans are allowed to enter the cages and feed the monkeys.
6: Gion
We enjoyed the traditional atmosphere of Gion from Hanamikoji Street to Kenchoji Temple and Yasaka Pagoda.
7:Yasaka Pagoda
Yasaka-no-to is a five-story pagoda in Gion, which matches the traditional townscape very well.
8:Kiyomizu Temple
I went to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, a World Heritage site.
The traditional shopping street leading up to the entrance is like a throwback to the old days.
9:Tea Ceremony in Kimono
We enjoyed a tea ceremony in kimono.
Maikoya offers a kimono dressing and tea ceremony experience for 6,300 yen.
Our legs were numb, but it was a valuable experience.

We returned to Tokyo by Shinkansen.
It was a full day tour of Kyoto.
