#Heianjingu #Kyoto #Garden On February 17, the weather in Kyoto warmed up. Taking advantage of the pleasant weather in the morning, I went to Heianjingu to worship. The garden was open for visitors, so I paid the entrance fee. The Heian Jingu Shrine grounds are large and sparsely populated, so it is quite comfortable to walk around. If you want to appreciate it carefully, you can stay there for about an hour. There are many places in the garden where you can take a short break, so you don’t have to worry about having sore legs and nowhere to rest.

Heian Shrine has a relatively short history, dating back just over a hundred years to 1895. The shrine was built on the occasion of the 1100th anniversary of the capital's foundation in Kyoto and is dedicated to the spirits of the first and last emperors who reigned from the city, Emperor Kammu (737-806) and Emperor Komei (1831-1867). Heian is the former name of Kyoto. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

This shrine has beautiful shrine buildings around a large open space. There were not a huge number of tourists which was a relief after a number of other Kyoto sites. Make sure to go into the garden (separate entry off to one side towards the back). It is a wonderful large Japanese garden where you can spend a half-hour or hour unwinding. There is a small tea garden in the middle of the garden. Mostly flat easy walking. #GiveThanks

This time, the plan is to visit the markets in Kyoto. Kyoto has a rich market scene, offering not only handmade crafts and lifestyle goods but also many irregular antique and flea markets. Our trip coincided with the monthly Heian Flea Market. Upon entering the Heian Flea Market, I was immediately struck by a strong retro vibe. I had no idea a market could be so visually appealing. It was a feast for the eyes, and I found many interesting little things: beautiful sundries, vintage toys, jewelry, porcelain, etc. Each stall was meticulously arranged, with carefully curated items displayed on small tables. I even came across a little girl playing a small piano, absolutely adorable. ✅Tips Cash is the primary mode of transaction at the Heian Flea Market, so remember to bring some cash in advance.

When the breeze blows, the petals fall like snow, which is incredibly romantic. The koi in the pond swim freely among the reflections of the cherry blossoms, looking lively and beautiful. Walking along the winding path, it is so quiet that you can only hear your own footsteps and the occasional bird song. Looking up, the quaint red torii gate is particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of cherry blossoms.
