Day 5 of Overseas Trip

After having breakfast at Mcdonald's, which is about 5 mins walk from Kyoto host's home, I set off walking towards Kiyomizudera Temple.

There is no people in front of me because it is very early. I was there at 9am.

I didn't pay admission fee to enter beyond within Kiyomizudera temple. I move on. For about 10 mins walk, I spot a tall statute as per this left picture.
It is at Ryozen-kannon. Not a popular spot. Nobody is talking about it.
It took me an hour to walk to Nanzenji Temple. Very large place to explore around.






In Nanzenji Temple, I saw this paper being pinned on cardboard. It is very intelligent teaching.







Eikan-dō Zenrin-ji is about 10-15 mins walk from Nanzenji Temple. It is easy to travel.










The above picture is paramount view of Eikan-do Zenrin-ji. It seems to be hot spot for artists to draw some parts of that place. Admirable.

After that, I need to be on philosopher walk. It is tourist route because of a lot of cherry blossom trees along that route. It is straight forward route to Ginkaku-ji





Initially, I thought Ginkaku-ji is another shrine. It turns out to be a zen-powered place with many nice land arts.

After that, I had a lunch with raw egg.



I need 2 hours plus to walk from east area to central area. Nijo castle is in central area. The above picture is located in Nijo castle. I came just in time, having enough time to explore for an hour before it closed.

Day 6 is when I went to north from Kyoto station.
