Japan, 京都 and 大阪 : part 5 龍安寺

En français
After 金閣寺 (Kinkakuji) I went to visit 龍安寺(Ryoanji). This temple is very famous for rock garden. Unfortunately, I was a bit early to see the sakura trees blooming there. I sat for a bit with the other people near the rock garden, it was really relaxing.

Japan, 京都 and 大阪 : part 4 金閣寺

En français
I went back to 京都 the next day but this time I was a lot better organized (actually I had a map) and didn't really want to walk much. I decided to go to visit different temples in the north of the city and I started with 金閣寺(Golden pavilion) and the garden around it. The 金閣寺 is a Zen temple covered with gold leafs.

I spend the following day in  大阪, I was actually pretty tired of so much walking in 京都 so I only went to the harbor for some shopping and looking at the sea. It was really nice and refreshing.

Japan, 京都 and 大阪 : part 2, bamboo street

En français
Then I finally arrived in bamboo street. I already visited this street one year and a half ago but it was during night time and so I didn't see much of it. So this time I hopefully managed to reach it during day time and to take a lot of pictures. I was really lucky because I really thought I was going to miss it again as I already had walked so much. I then went to visit the place around before going back to 大阪.

At the end of March I had a conference in 大阪 (Osaka) and I decided to go to 京都 (Kyoto) the week-end before to do some tourism. I walk the first post about it random walk because the first day I wanted to go to bamboo street and decided to walk there from the main Kyoto station. It turned up that it was really really far but I discovered and visited nice things on the way. So I will show pictures of bamboo street later on.
