Riding the Eizan Electric Railway: A Day of Green Serenity in Kyoto 🍃🚃

#summervacay It sounds like your journey on the Eizan Electric Railway was a beautiful immersion into Kyoto's lush greenery! You're right, green is a color full of life, and these serene mountain areas are perfect for artists seeking inspiration. The vibrant green everywhere truly feels cooling to the eyes – so refreshing! Your Planned Route & Experience You originally planned to visit three spots (Sanzen-in, Ruriko-in, and Kifune Shrine), but a small detour on the train meant Kifune Shrine had to be left for another time. It's good to embrace a little bit of imperfection in travel! Why Sanzen-in is a Must-Visit 💚 You strongly recommend visiting Sanzen-in Temple, stating its entrance fee of 700 JPY is well worth it. It's a wonderful place to wander around, feel comfortable, and truly "breathe in the oxygen." Your Route to Sanzen-in (from Shijo Karasuma): Subway: From Shijo Station (四条駅), take the subway to Kokusai-Kaikan Station (国際会館駅). Bus: Transfer to the Bus System 19 (19系统) and ride it to Ohara Station (大原駅). Walk: From the bus stop, it's a pleasant 650-meter walk to Sanzen-in Temple. This journey cost you approximately 690 JPY and took about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Even with a slight change of plans, immersing yourself in Kyoto's tranquil, verdant landscapes sounds like a truly rejuvenating experience. Sometimes, the unexpected detours lead to discovering the most profound serenity! #kyototravel #eizanrailway #sanzenin #kyotogreenery #naturewalk #japantravel #kyototemples #explorekyoto #greenvibes
