In Kyoto, where transportation is diversified and convenient, various transportation routes can be interchanged and connected. Compared with the admission fees of various visits, the transportation cost is actually quite low. It is recommended that you be able to use the city flexibly when planning your itinerary. Operate subways, municipal and private buses, JR and private railways, and taxis, etc., so that the journey can go smoothly, without being stuck on specific vehicles and routes, so that you can plan your own cherry blossom viewing Maple viewing schedule!
In addition, the pre-plan itinerary can be complicated, diverse, and filed. It can be adjusted in time according to the current situation. It is like the last wave of the maple viewing itinerary, which is limited by the cold weather and physical discomfort, so skip the suburban appreciation. If you don’t want to take too many popular itineraries, you can finally arrange a good maple viewing spot that you haven’t visited before.As for transportation tickets, it is recommended to purchase a variety of one-day tickets and two-day tickets. In the past, bus tickets such as one-day tickets may also be purchased at the passenger service center in front of Kyoto station. Nowadays, bus one-day tickets are already available in front of the station. Vending machines, vending machines at each station also sell subway and bus tickets, which is very convenient.
Three days and two nights simple itinerary
★ Day XNUMX: Hotel→Kyoto Sightseeing Two-Day Pass→Subway→Landen→Breakfast→Kyoto City Bus→Dakaku-ji Temple→Kyoto City Bus→Saga Tofu Morija→Cheongryangji→Treasure House→Kyoshino→Gionji Temple →Jangjiko Temple→Landen→Subway→Nokoya Seven Deities of Good Fortune→Hotel

★ Day XNUMX: Hotel→Subway→Yodobashi→Nihonbashi Kyoto Station→Kyoto Station→JR HARUKA→Kansai Airport→Departure
The last stage of the Kyoto maple viewing trip is to go to the Arashiyama and Higashiyama areas respectively. The two-day subway and bus pass are used. You will not save too much money. The main thing is to save money, find change, and buy tickets. The troubles.Kyoto, which belongs to the basin terrain, is surrounded by scenic spots suitable for viewing autumn leaves. I am not afraid of not being able to find it, I am afraid that the feet are too sour and the weather is too cold.Especially for travelers who have been walking outside all day long, if they have no chance to return to the hotel, remember to bring some cold-proof clothing on them.At least, warm packs or warm sticks are also prepared.
Attractions Sharing and Transportation Introduction
Visiting Daikaku-ji Temple: Accommodation (Azakoji Betiya)→Kyoto Kanguang Two-Day Pass→Subway (Nijo Castle Station T14→Taekin Tenjingawa Station T17)→Landen (Landen Tenjingawa Station→Weizi Notsu Station→Arashi Yama Station)→Breakfast→Kyoto City Bus 28 System (In front of Arashiyama Tenryuji Temple→Daakaku Temple)→Daakaku Temple
Itinerary description: The first day of the itinerary is planned to be spent entirely in the Arashiyama area in the west of Kyoto. Arashiyama’s tourist railways, bamboo forests, Nonomiya Shrine, and Togetsu Bridge are quite famous, which can be said to be must-see spots for sightseeing tours.This time, the self-guided tour started from the Dajue Temple in the north of Arashiyama.Because the hotel is located near the MRT station, it was originally planned to use a subway and bus shared one-day ticket for the full-day itinerary. It was only when I got off at the Taiqin Tianshenchuan Station and was about to transfer to the Kyoto City Bus 71, 72, and 74 systems. The frequency of about an hour is not intensive enough. If you change your intention to spend a little extra money to take the Randen Railway to get there quickly, after having breakfast at Arashiyama Station, you will then transfer to the Kyoto City Bus 28 system to go to Daikaku-ji Temple.
Kyoto city buses and subways, private railways and buses, JR and other transportation modes can be interchanged at the main transfer points, and most of them are not expensive. It is recommended that sometimes you don’t stick to a certain type of transportation and let yourself get Wait for a long time.According to my own experience, many times use a one-day transportation ticket. Due to various emergencies and restrictions on the execution of the itinerary, it will not save much money. Instead, it will buy a ticket for the whole day. Going around will save you the time and trouble of repeatedly buying tickets. It's a lot easier and more enjoyable, so don't be paranoid about saving money.

Itinerary description: Daakaku-ji Temple itself occupies a vast area, and there is a scenic spot of Osawa Pond next to it, which is enough to kill a lot of time. It is even more enjoyable to go to the cool and comfortable autumn.Because Dajue Temple is a bit remote, in order to save energy, I took a bus in front of the temple to Saga Hall to start the next trip.Starting from Qingliang Temple, there are many temples and buildings, and of course there are many scenic spots for viewing cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. It is quite suitable for a leisure trip. There are also many local tourists in Japan. The various attractions between the lanes and alleys are quite suitable for freedom. For travellers who can isolate the large tourist bus from homeopathy, it is highly recommended to come to this area for self-guided trips.

Itinerary description: The temple clusters in the northern part of the Arashiyama train route, between the lanes and lanes, are quite suitable for a leisurely stroll to visit various temples. There are also many small restaurants on the roadside for dining and rest.It is recommended that travelers who used to visit Arashiyama only by small train can arrange a good walk in the north of Arashiyama all day.After having eaten at the randomly selected あだし野, continue to take a walk to Gionji Temple to visit. After seeing the large Daikaku-ji Temple, you can admire the small and beautiful Treasure-in Temple and Gionji Temple one after another. I can only say "The temple is not big. Maple is beautiful"!

Itinerary description: When it’s getting late, I chose to abandon Nizhun-in Temple and go directly to Jangjiko Temple. Although it has to spend a little climbing effort, Jangjiko Temple has the advantage of overlooking the Arashiyama area, which is a very special maple viewing spot.After finishing the trip to Jojiko-ji Temple, it’s night time. Next, take a walk through the Arashiyama Little Train Railway and pass by Nonomiya Shrine. After buying some small paper items in よーじやカフェ, I am ready to go to Baogan Temple to enjoy the night maple.
However, it is said that the temperature difference between morning and evening during the autumn maple season in Kyoto is large, not to mention that there are really mountains in the Arashiyama area, and the temperature is low. We wandering around in the Arashiyama area all day, the day is okay, and the clothes are really not warm enough at night. So I had to take the Landian directly back to the hotel.Travelers who plan to play in the Arashiyama area from morning to night should really choose their clothes carefully. They can walk during the day without being afraid of the heat, at night and traveling at night without being afraid of the cold, holding clothes that are not too heavy in their hands, and not too swollen when worn on their bodies. If so, remember to introduce it too.
As we returned to Ertiao City from the original road, we felt that we did not go to Baoyan Courtyard to enjoy the night maple in the cold wind. We were a bit unambitious, so we dropped in to Shenquan Garden near the exit of the MRT station to enjoy the unpredictable night maple.Then, of course, continue to eat ramen to drive away the cold!

Itinerary description: After finishing the Arashiyama itinerary in the west of Kyoto, I have a cold.Even if I had a cold, I had already booked the itinerary to visit the Kyoto Imperial Palace online, so I tried my best to visit.Fortunately, the location of the Kyoto Imperial Palace is near the exit of the MRT Imadegawa Station. Even if the hotel is changed again, the MRT is still relatively labor-saving.The Kyoto Imperial Palace is open for visits at a fixed time every day. You usually have to make an appointment online. You can’t visit the Kyoto Imperial Palace in real time. The surrounding Kyoto Imperial Palace covers a large area, which is actually quite suitable for walking around, viewing cherry blossoms, maple leaves, and ginkgo biloba. can.

Itinerary description: After lunch, my good friend, the cheap chain Matsuya, was unable to go to the maple viewing spots originally scheduled for Ohara Sancheon because of a cold, so I had to bring the maple viewing itinerary on the first day of the first wave in Dongshan District. Recycle and reuse.To be honest, the maple viewing spots in the Higashiyama area are really easy to find and have. Find a place that is accessible from the bus station near the Kyoto Imperial Palace and get off at Zhenrutang.At this time, encountering tourist buses and sightseeing groups that would usually be deliberately avoided, it has become the best guide to lead the way.
The original visit route should be from the gate of Jinjie Guangming Temple all the way to the in-depth visit. At this time, following the footsteps of the Japanese local sightseeing group, enter from the trail behind Zhenrutang, and in turn visit Jinjie Guangming Temple from Zhenru Road and Rongsheyuan all the way to Jinjie Guangming Temple. Quite fun, but avoid many peak visits.After exiting the Golden Ring Guangming Temple, on the way to take the bus, stop by the Kyoto Okazaki Post Office to buy some distinctive postcards, red envelopes and other memorials. The products produced by Japan Post can be said to be quite affordable and cheap. souvenir.

Itinerary description: After having a meal near Kumano Shrine, once again randomly think about the nearest attractions to appreciate the night maple. The first thing that comes to mind is of course the famous and must-visit Kiyomizu Temple.Just after many visits, and if you think about doing some homework, you will know that there are many famous cherry blossom viewing spots near Kiyomizu Temple, so I chose Kodaiji Temple as the protagonist of the night maple visit.
During the autumn season, Japan has a large number of domestic and foreign tourists, and it is also very important for people who are not familiar with the road conditions and directions to carefully select the objects to follow.After getting off the bus from Higashiyama Yasui Bus Station, we followed some tourists to the Kodaiji Temple. At this time, we selected the tracking object, the Japanese local little sister who could obviously see and hear Japanese, so we passed by the very flavorful stone On the small road, pass through the small small business district of ねねの小道道 to the Gaotai Temple, Yuantokuin Temple and Palm Art Museum on the Ningning Road.

Original plan
I thought that Arashiyama had already visited many times, so I put Guangming Temple and Arashiyama together. You can go to Arashiyama to make up the trip if you have time. Later, it was delayed at Guangming Temple. After the originally planned Hiei Mountain cross-cutting trip was put on hold, another day was arranged to go there. In Lanshan, roughly the second half of the original planned itinerary will be turned upside down.
The scattered strategy route starting from Dajue Temple and going all the way down makes up for many of the itineraries that were previously limited in the Togetsu Bridge area. This is how Arashiyama seems to be no longer a guava itinerary, so don’t do it because you have been there many times. Many of the scenic spots seem to be very guava. In fact, each place contains many places that need to be explored carefully. It depends on whether the travelers have ulterior motives.
The must-go point in the itinerary on the second day is to visit the Kyoto Imperial Palace. Because it has been booked on the official website, I am embarrassed to let the pigeons leave a bad reputation, so even though I feel unwell, I still try my best to go. Fortunately, the traffic is very convenient in the downtown area of Kyoto, so I finished the tour. After the Kyoto Imperial Palace, I gave up the trip to the remote Ohara Sanzenin Temple, and took out the trip to Higashiyama that was not completed on the first day of the first wave, and checked and walked at will. It seems to be quite rich!

Regret of the Bead
When planning the itinerary, research "Hieiyama Hengduan チケット": Hieiyama Enya Temple No Tour" package for a long time, I feel that this is really a powerful and prestigious transportation package. The price of XNUMX yen per person is also quite prestigious. I can’t help but arrange a full-day itinerary to prepare for a break. By the way, visit Ishiyama Temple, Ishikisui Hachimangu Shrine, etc., where cherry blossom viewing was not completed previously.At that time, due to online inquiries about the maple red status, Hiei Mountain, which has a higher terrain, seemed to have passed the time to appreciate the maple, and considering the limited physical strength, the trip did not take place.
Later, I think about it, for those who could not even complete the Kurama-Kibune traverse of Kurama Mountain, this must be an idiotic trip.Suddenly, I wanted to organize a "Golden Legend Tour Challenge" in Kyoto. I designed an ultra-long, tiring, and cost-saving one-day trip to Kyoto. Let everyone sign up and join in a team to see which team. Have the highest degree of completion in the last journey?Haha!
