Kyoto felt like stepping into another century. The temples were stunning, especially Kiyomizu‑dera at sunset. I loved walking through Gion and spotting geisha in traditional kimono.

Kyoto’s mix of spirituality and beauty is incredible. I especially loved the Fushimi Inari Shrine early in the morning when it was still quiet. The trail through thousands of torii gates felt almost spiritual. It’s a city that makes you slow down and simply breathe.

I’ve never seen temples as beautiful as those in Kyoto. The Kinkaku-ji’s golden reflection on the water was breathtaking. Locals are very welcoming and eager to share their culture.

Taking day trips from Kyoto to nearby countryside was effortless. Every return brought me back to a city of serenity and wonder. Temples at dusk were especially magical. Thank you, Kyoto, for the memories.
