3rd Day - Kyoto (part2)

All the places we wanted to visit in Kyoto were temples. Next destination was Nanzenji, 南禅寺.It is a Zen Buddhist temple.Nanzen-ji is one of the Five Great Zen Temples of Kyoto.

Kyoto bus. I 'm very like here the bus services. You 're totally no need to worry and always need to ask around what is the next station. The information is well displayed on the screen.

Before entering this temple, need to pass by many shops.

This is the map of this temple. This temple is so BIG ! We were just able to visit apart only, the main buildings.

The main door is to enter Hojo. However, we did not enter because need to pay money again. One thing I don't like in Kyoto is you almost need to buy the ticket for each of the buildings. Not like buy one ticket can enter all the buildings. Sounds like quite strange.

This canal, called "Sosui", is a waterway constructed between Lake Biwa and Kyoto City. The water is drawn out at Otsu City in Shiga Prefecture, passes the Nanzenji temple and runs to Keage at Higashiyama-ku in Kyoto City. The construction of this canal was begun in 1881 and finished in 1890. The purposes of this canal lie at passing boats from Osaka Bay to Lake Biwa, spinning cotton by the energy of warer wheels, irrigating water, keeping water for fire prevention and so on.

Sanmon - The main gate of Nanzenji

Sanmon Sanmon

Sanmon was build in 1628 by Todo Takatora in memory of those who died in the civil War Oska Natsu-no-jin. On the upper floor there are various images of Bussha and paintings. However, we did not go up because ... need $$$ again. Ai...

Able to visit these few places only .

haha..ask people who wear Yukata to take photo with us.

Took bus again back to our lovely living place have a good rest.
Weather here was ultra super SUPER HOT !

At night, actually we don't have any plan for night. Since we have bought the one day pass, we plan to go out to find out the the place Ginza like to "hide", GION !

We wondered that there is another temple beside the road. Since we all very 3 8, we entered have a look .

I'm so pai seh when I asked a japanese girl where can we find out the Geiza. She pointed us to this road to wait our "target". We all were in "standby" mode because our target will appear anytime. Actually not only us, many foreigners were holding camera DSLR model(almost similar like seong yee camera) beside the road.

The name of this road is so .....花见小路，男人最爱

We were so dare to go in the red zone. Actually when I think back is quite dangerous and we all are so lucky nothing happen to us. You can see many old man were holding hand with young girl walking on the street. Really not understand already so old still want to try this kind of thing...sien ..don't know their body can afford or not ...

We bought ice-cream and waiting for the target. We had waited quite a long time. We 're just able to see the Geisha behind body 's shadow because they were running away and we can't catch up.

Mission fail. We better go home earlier have a good sleep. Tomorrow we will go to another state, Nara!
