"Kyoto Itinerary" Trilogy Part Two of Kyoto Maple Appreciation: Take private railways and buses to dig out the secrets of red leaves in the suburbs

When going to Kyoto for cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, if the planned itinerary is the main popular attractions in the city of Kyoto, you can buy a 500-yen bus one-day ticket every day, you can save the land and visit the popular attractions, at most with the MRT. Quick transfer.However, if you can't be satisfied with the popular attractions in the city and want to explore other attractions in the suburbs, you have to rely on private railways, buses and other means of transportation!

Arriving in Kyoto for viewing autumn leaves. After the first wave of rushing to popular attractions, the second wave begins to go to the suburbs to dig out the autumn leaves viewing spots that have not been visited in the past. This is definitely the main pleasure of free travel, and it also means that more homework is needed. Traffic route and time planning.At this time, the preferential package of transportation is also useful at this time. The second wave of itinerary to the suburbs to enjoy the maple, because it has already escaped from the service scope of public MRT and buses, which are mainly public transportation, so the This is the Kansai Amazing Pass, which covers private railways and bus routes. It can only be said that private railways and bus routes are really the best helpers for discovering Japanese attractions.

Two days and two nights simple itinerary

★ Day XNUMX: Get up → Subway → Hankyu Kyoto Line → Hankyu Bus → Somotoyama Komoji Temple → Hankyu Bus → Nagaoka Tenmiya Palace → Hankyu Bus → Hankyu Kyoto Line → Subway → Hotel → Subway → Kyoto City Bus → Eikando Zenrinji Temple→Kyoto City Bus→Honge Yakiniku Restaurant→Taxi→Hotel

★ Day XNUMX: Get up→Subway→Osakoji Bate (hotel)→Subway→Keihan Main Line→Eizan Railway→Kurama Temple→Eizan Railway→Kyoto City Bus→Shisendo→Enkoji→Manshuin Gate→Kyoto City Bus→Subway→Nokoya Seven Lucky Gods Horikawa Oike Store→Hotel

The second wave of the two-day maple viewing itinerary mainly uses the Kansai Excursion Card, which uses the subway and private railway transportation routes to go to the maple viewing spots in the southwest and northeast of Kyoto, so as to discover the scenic spots far away from the urban area of ​​Kyoto. Tourists Less, better able to experience the scenery of various scenic spots in detail.Next, let's explain in detail the transportation mode and itinerary planning content of each scenic spot.

Attractions Sharing and Transportation Introduction

To Nagaoka: Hotel (get up) → Kansai Freepass → Subway (Kujo Station K12 → Shijo Station K09) → Hankyu Kyoto Line (Karasuma Station → Nagaoka Tenjin Station) → McDonald's (Breakfast) → Hankyu Bus 20, 22 System (Hankyu Nagaoka Tenjin → Asahi Okayama Front) → Somotoyama Komoji Temple

Itinerary description: This itinerary purchases a three-day Kansai Freepass that does not need to be used for consecutive days. After a few days ago, the Osaka Minoh Maple Appreciation Itinerary was not implemented, and it was used for the second time.The Kansai Amazing Pass mainly covers public subway MRT and private railways and buses. It is quite suitable for this maple viewing itinerary that uses subways and private railways and buses.Since it is said that it is a maple-viewing spot in the suburbs, the itinerary should be planned carefully and the traffic time should be taken into consideration. Give yourself more time!

Choosing a hotel close to the subway has the advantage of not only choosing to take the MRT, but also the advantage of bus routes and stops connecting to the MRT.The transportation to Guangming Temple is a little more complicated, but the MRT, railway, and buses can still be connected seamlessly. In response to the peak sightseeing season, Kyoto will also provide many temporary buses, so everyone can pay attention to it.Also, when taking the Hankyu bus to Kwangmyeongji, remember to get under the stop sign "旭が丘ホーム前" instead of under the stop sign "Gwangmyeongji". Don't be misled by the name of the stop sign!The official website of Guangming Temple also provides explanatory data.

Itinerary description: Take the Hankyu Bus and get off at the stop sign "Asahi Chikayama", walk straight ahead for a while, and you will arrive at the entrance of Guangming Temple.Guangming Temple's red leaves spots are getting more and more famous, so during the period of red leaves in full bloom, the temple will arrange traffic lines for viewing the maple, and tourists can follow the directions indicated by the signs.It can be seen from the route planning that it is careful. The first half of the route is to arrange hiking trails and temple visits, and there is a small market in the middle to sell all kinds of goods and food. The real SONY advertising certified red leaf trail is arranged in the final stage, so it can be avoided. There was a big traffic jam at the beginning, and it was effective in dispelling the crowds. It's really a meticulous operation!

Itinerary description: After spending half a day at the very well-photographed Guangming Temple, according to the original plan, return to the vicinity of Nagaoka Tenjin, and transfer to other routes to the Zenmine Temple, but the transfer location is very close to Nagaoka Tenmangu, so I walked closer Visit the Manchu Palace and wait for the opportunity to forage.After a morning maple viewing tour at the popular Guangming Temple, this time I entered the vast Nagaoka Tenmangu Shrine. The tourists are quite sparse but people like it more. I like the tranquility that comes after the excitement. Tenman Palace also spent a long time.

In Tenmangu Shrine, there is a high-end Japanese cuisine ─ Jinshui Ting, and there is also a fairly affordable small restaurant ─ Sharlon Anniversary Counter, which can provide wedding, adult and graduation activities and dining venues, and usually provide Simple Western-style meals are a random surprise.Tenman Palace occupies a vast area. Even if you didn’t finish it all, it took a lot of time. When I was ready to go to Shanfeng Temple, I realized that the bus station timetable had exceeded the operating hours, so I had to stop thinking and head back to the hotel. rest.

Itinerary description: Returning to the hotel in the evening to rest, is to prepare for the night rush to the night maple, and also to thicken your clothes. Kyoto during the maple season sometimes has a large temperature difference between morning and evening. If the hotel location is convenient, it is a good idea to return to the hotel in the evening. , No need to hold heavy clothes during the day.I also visited the Nanzen Temple area. The Eikando I visited this time is closer to the bus stop, so I went to Kyoto Station to take the city bus. For several important temples in the downtown area of ​​Kyoto, the bus stop signs will be directly highlighted in large fonts. Come out, so that visitors can sit at ease.

From Eikando, you can take a bus to Shijo Kawaramachi. Kawaramachi is a lively shopping spot. Many bus routes pass through here. It is also the location of the privately-owned Hankyu Kyoto Main Line terminal, Kawaramachi Station.Therefore, you can use the Kansai Excursion Pass to board from Kawaramachi Station to the next station Karasuma Station, then transfer to Shijo Station on the subway and return to Kyoto Station.However, sometimes don't be too harsh on yourself!I just had enough roast meat to eat, and when I was full, I chose to take a taxi directly back to the hotel. If there are four people in a group, you can actually consider taking a taxi in the city.

Itinerary description: Using the Kansai Excursion Pass for the second day in a row, the challenge is to go to the Kurama area of ​​Kibune, challenge to board the Kurama Temple, walk into the mountain trail, and walk through the mountains to the Kifune Shrine. Of course, this is also an afterword and myth. Not for the time being.On this day, Anya, who likes to stay in various hotels, plans to change hotels. Fortunately, the second hotel is still near the MRT station. Although you have to transfer at Karasuma Oike Station, it is still within acceptable limits. Too much time was wasted.

After exiting the hotel, you have to take the subway to transfer to the privately-owned Keihan Main Line, then take the Keihan Main Line to Eizan Railway, and then take the cable railway to climb the mountain. There are four transportation routes to reach Kurama Temple.Fortunately, no matter whether it is public or private, railway or bus, routes and stations can be connected to each other. When planning transportation, as long as you pay attention to the scope of ticket application, you can actually plan various transfer routes easily and make your own itinerary more diversified.化.

Itinerary description: After going down the mountain from Kurama Temple, although the cable railway method has been used to avoid the physical exhaustion caused by climbing, there is no room left to go to the Kibune area.Had to go down the mountain to the famous maple viewing spots on the Eizan tram route.Although you can take a bus directly at the foot of Mount Kurama, it seems that the route is not dense enough, so I chose the Xian Ruishan tram to get off at Baosike Pond and take a bus to Shisentang.Although you can also get off directly at Yichengji Temple on the Eizan Tram and walk there, the bus station is still relatively close to Shixiantang. Although it is a toss to transfer, sometimes it is better to walk to toss it!

Itinerary description: Fortunately, I had a visit and rest at Yuanguang Temple, because it is a long way to go to the gates of Manshu Monastery. For those of us who have been baptized by Kurama Temple today, this is also a test of willpower. Return journey I had to walk a long way to reach the bus station, and then I took the subway back to the hotel without hesitation, and settled for dinner at the ramen shop in front of Nijo Castle.

Original plan

When arranging travel itineraries, I prefer to plan itineraries in circles, that is, instead of going the same way and going back the same way, I use different routes and vehicles to circle through various scenic spots.After all, traveling by car takes precious time, so why not let taking transportation become a kind of scenery and pleasure of traveling?Of course, this kind of planning requires physical strength and execution ability!The second wave of maple viewing itinerary planning is a case of failure. You really have to do what you can.

The first day of the itinerary was originally the second day of the hotel change. I came to the first day earlier. Although there was less time to change the hotel, I had to take the subway. In fact, there is not much difference.Just planning to transfer from Nagaoka to Lanshan is obviously too naive and romantic. The end result is to go the same way, return to the same road, rest early, find a Yefeng scenic spot for filing, and then set off; the next day’s itinerary will be the first The three-day itinerary was also one day earlier, and it was okay to have more time to change the hotel, but the plan for the grand tour of the mountain in Kunma Mountain was also abruptly stopped, but I really realized that I am getting older!
