Kyoto Maple Viewing Trilogy No. XNUMX: The final chapter of Arashiyama and Higashiyama's autumn foliage attractions visit

In Kyoto, where transportation is diversified and convenient, various transportation routes can be interchanged and connected. Compared with the admission fees of all kinds of visits, transportation costs are actually quite low. It is recommended that you be able to flexibly use city management when planning your itinerary. Subways, municipal and private buses, JR and private railways, and taxis and other means of transportation make the itinerary smooth, without having to stick to specific means of transportation and routes, so that you can plan your own itinerary for viewing cherry blossoms and autumn leaves Yo!

In addition, the pre-plan itinerary can be complicated, diverse, and filed. It can be adjusted in due 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, automatic bus tickets are available in front of the station. Vending machines and 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→Gion Temple→ Jojikoji Temple→Landen→Subway→Nokoya Seven Deities of Good Fortune→Hotel

★ Day XNUMX: Hotel→Subway→Yodobashi→Nihonbashi 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 tickets are used. You will not save too much money. The main reason is to save money with change, change and buy tickets. All kinds of 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, but 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 and don't have a 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 (Sister-koji Betiya)→Kyoto Kanguang Two-Day Pass→Subway (Nijo Castle Station T14→Taekin Tenjingawa Station T17)→Landen (Landian Tenjingawa Station→Weizi Notsuge Station→Arashiyama 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 trip will start from Dajue Temple in the north of Arashiyama.Because the hotel is located near the MRT station, it was originally planned to use the subway and bus shared one-day ticket to complete the full-day itinerary. It was only when I got off the Taiqin Tianshenchuan Station and was about to transfer to the Kyoto City Bus 71, 72, and 74 systems. The hourly frequency is not intensive enough. If you temporarily change your mind, you will 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 the Daikaku-ji Temple.

Kyoto municipal buses and subways, private railways and buses, JR and other transportation vehicles can transfer to each other 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 Have to 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 down, what you save is actually the time and trouble of repeatedly buying tickets. It's a lot easier and more convenient, so don't be paranoid about saving money.

Youbaojeongin: Dajueji Temple→Kyoto Bus 28 System (Dajueji→Sagaya Hall)→Saga Tofu Senka→Cheongryangsa→Baojeongyuan→お食事部あだし野(lunch)

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 free travel. Travellers who can take advantage of the situation to isolate the large tour bus, it is highly recommended to come to this area for self-help trips.

Visiting Gion Temple: Kosano → Walk → Gion Temple → Nizunin

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 the 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 northern part of Arashiyama for a whole 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 but 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 the sky is getting late, I choose to abandon Nizun-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, and then take a walk through the Arashiyama Little Train Railway, passing by Nonomiya Shrine, and inevitably, after buying some small paper items in よーじやカフェ, prepare 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 in the Arashiyama area all day, it is fine during the day, and at night we know that the clothes are really not warm enough, so we had to Take the Landian directly back to the hotel.Travelers who are going to play in the Arashiyama area from morning to night should really choose their clothes carefully. They can walk during the day without fear of heat, at night and travel at low temperatures without fear of cold, hold clothes that are not too heavy in their hands, and wear clothes that are not too swollen on their bodies. If so, remember to introduce it.

We returned to Ertiao City from the original road. We felt that we did not go to Baoyan Courtyard to appreciate 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 admire 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 have a cold, I have already booked the itinerary to visit the Kyoto Imperial Palace on the Internet, so I tried my best to visit it.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. Even if you can’t visit the Kyoto Imperial Palace, the surrounding Kyoto Imperial Palace covers a large area. In fact, it is also quite suitable for walking around, viewing cherry blossoms, maple viewings, and ginkgo viewing. can.

Visit Zhenrutang: Matsuya (lunch) → Kyoto City Bus 102, 203 system (Karasuma Imadegawa → Shinrutang front) → Shinrutang → Esakiin→Golden Ring Kwangji Temple → Kyoto Okazaki Post Office → Kyoto City Bus 93, 203, 204 System (Okazaki Road → Kumano Shrine Front) → Kare Hasesu (dinner) → Kumano Shrine (passing by)

Itinerary description: After lunch, my good friend, the cheap chain Matsuya, was unable to go to the maple viewing spots originally scheduled for Ohara Sanzenin because of a cold, so I had to bring the maple viewing trip on the first day of the first wave 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 the Golden Ring 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 small road behind Zhenrutang, and in turn visit the Jinjie Guangming Temple from Zhenru Road and Rongsheyuan all the way to the 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 souvenirs. The products produced by Japan Post can be said to be quite affordable and cheap souvenirs.

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 at the Higashiyama Yasui Bus Station, we followed some tourists to the Kodaiji Temple. At this time, the selected tracking object was a Japanese local little sister who could obviously see and hear Japanese, so we passed by the very flavorful Shishi. The small road passes through the small small business district of ねねの小道道 to the Caotai Temple, Yuantokuin Temple and Palm Art Museum on the Ningning Road.

Original plan

I thought that Arashiyama had visited many times, so I put Guangming Temple and Arashiyama together, and I could go to Arashiyama to make up the trip when I had time. Later, I was delayed at Guangming Temple, and after the originally planned Hieishan cross-cutting trip was put on hold, another day was arranged to go to Arashiyama. Roughly the second half of the original planned itinerary will be reversed.

The scattered strategy route starting from Dajue Temple and going all the way down makes up for many of the itineraries that were limited in the Toyueqiao area in the past. Only then did I feel that Arashiyama is no longer such a guava itinerary, so don’t do it because you have been there many times. The scenic spots feel very guava, in fact, every 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 remote trip to 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"Hireiyama Entenji 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 Shishan Temple, Ishikisui Hachimangu Shrine and other places where cherry blossom viewing was not completed.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 limitation of physical strength, it did not make the trip.

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!
