One-day tour in the suburbs of Kyoto

When going to Kyoto, Japan, there are several attractions in the suburbs. In order to reduce the hassle, I booked a small group for a one-day tour. The driver picked me up from the hotel in Osaka early in the morning, played for a day with my luggage, and disbanded in Kyoto after the end. 🗓Itinerary: 1, Arrive at Sanzenin at 10:30, visit and have lunch 2, Arrive at Kifune Shrine at 12:40 3, Arrive at Arashiyama Sagano Station at 14:15 4, Return to Kyoto with the group or disband on your own. ❤Recommended reasons: 1, Sanzenin is a Buddhist temple. As soon as you walk in, you can't help but calm down. It is still green in winter. The most special thing is that its green land is not grass, but covered with moss plants. The buildings in the courtyard are very elegant, and you can also order a set meal to have tea and snacks there. There are a row of small shops outside the door, selling pickles, specialties, restaurants, etc. 2, Kyoto's Kifune Shrine is the national headquarters, probably in charge of water, located on the side of the mountain, there are many restaurants along the way from the parking lot, and there is a small stream next to it. The red of Kifune Shrine is very bright and eye-catching, and it is very good for taking pictures against the backdrop of the forest. But this is a small attraction, suitable for handsome men and women to take pictures, you can stroll around in 30 minutes. If you are free, it may be difficult to come here specifically. 3, Arashiyama is a mountain on the west side of Kyoto. I was attracted by the beautiful scenery of the introduction map, I have to go! And I also bought a VIP seat on the small train! You can go out and play at the end, or you can return the same way. We bought round-trip tickets before departure, so we decisively returned to Kozan Station. There are obviously a lot more tourists here, everyone walks around and looks at the bamboo forest. On the way back to Sagano Station, there are many snack shops, and there is a small bread truck selling chocolate, many of which are Kyoto limited, and the price is not expensive. 4, Arashiyama to Kyoto can go to JR Sagano Station, it is very convenient to buy a ticket to Kyoto. 📝Note tips: 1, The problem is that the VIP seat of the Arashiyama small train has no windows and a transparent glass skylight (it's too dirty to see the sky clearly)! The ordinary seat is fully enclosed. Their VIPs can probably enjoy the fresh air and cold in the mountains. I sat in a seat that was twice as expensive as others, blowing the wind, and feeling the Arashiyama without snow and flowers. There are people boating under the mountain, slower than us, probably not so cold. 2, The small train allows everyone to see the overall scenery from a distance. The train passes through the tunnel and looks at both sides in the valley, which can save a lot of physical strength. Because there is a lake in the valley, the scenery seen by walking and boating must be different from the small train. 3, JR Sagano Station has lockers, our 2 20-inch boarding boxes are stuffed into one grid, reducing the burden for ourselves and playing more comfortably! Overall, this route is mainly for sightseeing, supplemented by humanities, combining work and rest, and the elderly are under no pressure. It is not suitable for children. Arashiyama
