Togetsukyo Bridge
The bridge was built in the first half of the 9th century during the Heian period (794-1185). It has been washed out many times, but each time it has been rebuilt. It is said that the name was given by Emperor Kameyama in the Kamakura period (1185-1333), as the moon moved across the bridge as if it were crossing over it.
I bet this place looks amazing when the cherry blossoms bloom in spring.
bills Odaiba
This is the third Japanese branch of 'bills', an all-day dining restaurant originating from Sydney, Australia. Particularly noted for their exquisite egg dishes, customers flock here from early morning for breakfast items like 'Scrambled Eggs & Toast' and 'Ricotta Pancakes'. Open from 9am on weekdays and 8am on weekends, it's perfect for a meal before sightseeing.
Came here for the so-called world's best egg dishes. Not only was the food delicious, but the atmosphere was fantastic too.
Fushimi Inari Taisha
It is the head shrine of about 30,000 Inari shrines which are traditionally familiar throughout Japan and the god is worshiped for bountiful harvests of grain, business prosperity, the safety of households, recovery from illness, and wish fulfillment. This shrine was established in 711 AD.
The endless rows of torii gates stretching up the mountain are truly impressive. It definitely lived up to my expectations.
Kinkaku-ji
During the Muromachi Period, the 3rd Ashikaga shogun, Yoshimitsu, made an abode in this temple called Kitayamadono. It was named as Rokuon-ji after the posthumous name of Yoshimitsu. He had also built Shokoku-ji Temple, and Rokuon-ji, his retirement home, was turned into a branch temple of Shokoku-ji.
With its dazzling golden exterior, this is definitely one of the most popular spots to visit in Kyoto.
