When arranging a travel itinerary in Kyoto, Japan, the most troublesome thing is the itinerary at night. First, there is no nightlife such as night markets in Japan. Second, Kyoto is not a shopping paradise for shopping and shopping. Apart from what I mentioned earlier, it is better to go to bed early and get up early to go to the market. In addition to the suggestions in the episode, if it is the season for viewing maple and cherry blossoms, it is best to arrange a night cherry blossom viewing and night maple show first, then go to an izakaya to eat and chat slowly, and finally return to the residence to have a bath!
The activity of admiring cherry blossoms or autumn leaves at night is usually called "night lighting (ライトアップ)". Lights will be used to decorate the cherry blossoms or autumn leaves in the evening.For those planning to go to appreciate Yefeng, the following points of attention and suggestions are provided for your reference:
- Pay attention to the temperature difference between day and night: The temperature difference between day and night during the red leaf season in Kyoto is great. In addition, many scenic spots are near the mountains. It is recommended to go back to the hotel for a short rest in the afternoon, prepare warm clothes and then go out. In the evening, you will have a simple meal and then take transportation.
- Prepare for rainy days: Rain in Kyoto usually comes and goes fast, and it is almost impossible to encounter it. It is recommended to prepare such as "fashionable weather"Weather forecast apps like ", shopping malls, gourmet restaurants and other indoor itineraries, don’t rush to go, wait until rainy weather to make up.
- Selected traffic route：According to the one-day transportation ticket purchased on the day of the itinerary, then arrange the Yefeng attractions on the route. You can prepare clothing and photographic equipment to and from the hotel. You are not afraid that the transportation fee will be too high. The famous Yefeng attractions usually have dense subways. Or bus route.
- Pay attention to the schedule: The night maple event is usually between 6 am and 9 am, so you have to leave some time for transportation and waiting in line.Those who are accustomed to nightlife can simply eat before heading there, and then arrange an izakaya and ramen itinerary after the end. If the night maple location is close to the hotel, you can consider taking a taxi.
- Prepare photographic equipment: Those who are obsessed with photography and recording beautiful scenery, believe that shooting night maple will be a challenge. Most scenic spots usually prohibit the use of tripods. If you prepare many high-end photographic equipment, it is also recommended to go back to the hotel to replace the photographic equipment used during the day.
- Confirm time fee: The opening dates of the night maple attractions are different each year. When planning your itinerary, you can refer to the official website or the red leaf special website; the night worship fee for some attractions will increase by 1 yen compared to the daytime, and some attractions offer multiple attractions Common worship scrolls.
Next, taking the traffic route as the main axis, we will introduce the night-time scenic spots for admiring the autumn leaves on the main traffic lines and provide a reference for everyone to plan their itinerary.
