TO THE CITY OF TEMPLES, SHRINES AND CASTLES...

by heywinks - last update: Jan 28, 2004

KYOTO IS NOT A DAY TRIP!!

Ginkakuji Temple complex
If you think that you can visit the old imperial city of Kyoto and stay just one day, you are mistaken. There is so much to see and experience in this beautiful city. There are hundreds of temples and shrines and old castles to visit. Even if you stay for one week you won`t see it all!
I`ve been to Kyoto dozens of times and each time I see something new. I`m pleasantly surprised by all the allys in the city--there is always something new to discover!
For those that will visit soon, I hope that your visit to Kyoto is a memorable one and I hope that you get to visit Kyoto many many times in your lifetime.
For those who have been there, I hope that my page will bring back many happy memories for you.
Happy travels!

 LOVE your Kyoto page. We didn't see much of it when we went as baby got sick. Hopefully I will go back one day and see it properly. Tracey
