Kyoto on a rainy day

 

Kyoto on a rainy day.

As a tourist, we might feel we’ve lost a day when it rains during our trip. But don’t be dismayed as Kyoto has some places which can be more beautiful. The contrast of stone pavements and green/autumn leaves is stunningly beautiful with a rain. And moreover, major destinations will be less crowded.

• Higashiyama Area: Sanneizaka, Ninenzaka, Yasaka-no-tou Pagoda (Hokanji Temple), Nene-no-Michi

• Gion Area: Kenninji Temple, Hanamikoji Street, Gion Shirakawa

• Pontocho Street

• Tofukuji Temple and Komyo-in Sub-temple in it

• Sanzen-in Temple

• Arashiyama Area: Togetsukyo Bridge, Jojakkoji Temple, Gioji Temple, Adashino Nenbutsuji Temple, Otagi Nenbutsuji Temple

These places are particularly well-known for the beauty in a rain.

These photos are in Higashiyama Area, Gion Area, Pontocho and surrounding areas.
