Fell in love with Kyoto

We visited Kyoto on August 12th. I actually went to Kyoto a week ago on my own and with two of my friends. However, I visited different shrine since I knew I am going to visit Kyoto again.

We visited Kinkaku-ji (金閣寺,Golden Pavilion) first.
Kinkaku-ji is a Zen Buddhist temple and the top two floors are completely covered in gold leaf.
This is the most impressive structure I have never seen before!

We went to Ryoan-ji temple (龍安寺). The most famous in Ryoan-hi temple is the rock garden.
The garden's meaning has not been made explicit, therefore, I view this garden as the beauty of nature and Japanese aesthetic-simplicity!

Kiyomizude temple (清水寺）, it's the name from the fall's pure water. It's one of UNESCO world heritage sites.

Jishu-Jinja Shrine is next to Kiyomizude temple. This shrine is famous as matchmaking. If you get a chance to visit this shrine, make sure you walks between the two stones, closing your eyes. If you can reach to one another, it says your love will realize. If you made it by someone's help, you will also need help for the success of love in your life.

Matcha and traditional Japanese sweets are famous in Kyoto. Don't forget to try some!
