Around the World in 26 Letters--Kyoto

K was one of my blank letters and I didn't now a thing about Kyoto Japan until I searched "places that start with K". The history, the culture, and the food (I LOVE SUSHI) would be worth a visit. Plus, check out how stunning it is!

 
hotels and suites on the Katsura river

Heian Shrine

Kinkakuji--Golden Pavilion Temple

Kiyomizudera Temple

Fishimi Inari--torri gate

Kokedera--moss temple

Ginkakuji--Silver Pavilion

Bamboo trail at Tenryu Ji in the Arashiyama district


So glad I found a new destination to add to my list! Have you ever been to Japan?

    That's a lot of red. Also, I'd love to live in a bamboo forest. It's my second choice after Versailles.

    You and that sushi. ;) I'd love to visit Japan! I could totally go around with no shoes on and no one would look at me funny.

    Yes, been to Japan!

    And in my current project, Japan is central to my story. So I had to do some research on Japanese architecture. It's amazing.
