There are many hidden restaurants around Heian Shrine. After filling our stomachs, we decided to take a walk. We strolled around the illuminated Heian Shrine, the ROHM Theater, and the Kyoto National Museum of Modern Art. It was an area I'd only been to during the day, so a quiet walk at night was refreshing. #Heian Shrine #Okazaki Park #Kyoto #Walk #Illuminated

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 ### In Kyoto's Okazaki Park, you can often see performers dressed in red playing drums enthusiastically. Their movements were powerful, their muscle lines were clear, and their expressions were focused and contagious, attracting the attention of many audiences. This drum performance not only displays the charm of traditional culture, but also brings strong visual and auditory enjoyment. The audience swayed to the rhythm unconsciously, feeling the passion and vitality of the music. Okazaki Park has thus become an ideal place to experience culture and art.

#Themepark This is a park in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, with many Tokai On Air signs on the Ferris wheel! The price for one ride isn't too high, and although it's a little far from Higashi-Okazaki Station, you can get there pretty quickly by train or bus, and there aren't many people, so you can go around it 2 or 3 times! At the reception desk, you'll be asked whose autograph box you'd like, so you can choose between autographs of just your favorite idol or everyone's autographs!

#JuneTravelSupportEvent There are many small events on the weekends, such as flea markets and performances. Since there are many cultural facilities, you can see many families. The ice cream sold in vending machines is very delicious. I happened to stop by and it was a flea market day once a month! There isn't much to see in particular, but if you like vintage cars and vintage clothes, you'll like it!

Located to the north is Heian Shrine, and the park is a collection of cultural exchange facilities such as the Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art, Kyoto Prefectural Library, Kyoto City Zoo, and Lake Biwa Canal on its vast grounds. The park was originally built on the site of the 4th Domestic Industrial Exposition in 1895, when a road was opened and the environment was blessed with it.
