The Night Maple of Toji and the Ginkgo of Nishi Honganji are Amazing

Today's step count reached a new high of 33,000 steps, with half of them completed in Shiga. In the morning, I visited Saikyoji, Hiyoshi Taisha, and the Old Chikurin-in in Shiga. Saikyoji had a small number of maple and ginkgo trees, but they were all exquisite and perfect for photography. Hiyoshi Taisha was also impressive, while the Old Chikurin-in was less so. In the afternoon, I went to Daigoji and Nishi Honganji. The main photography highlights at Daigoji are the bridge and pavilion over the lake. Nishi Honganji is most beautiful for its three large ginkgo trees, which are very majestic. In the evening, I visited Toji. The night maple at Toji is stunning and mesmerizing, with the reflection of the five-story pagoda and red maple in the canal being particularly beautiful. Today, I unlocked three World Heritage Sites: Daigoji, Nishi Honganji, and Toji. Along with Kinkakuji, Ginkakuji, Nijo Castle, Kiyomizu-dera, and Kozan-ji from previous days, and Tenryu-ji before the pandemic, I have now unlocked eight World Heritage Sites in Kyoto. Personally, I found Nijo Castle and Kinkakuji to be the most impressive. #Daigoji #NishiHonganji #Toji #Saikyoji #HiyoshiTaisha #OldChikurin-in #KyotoMaple #Ginkgo
