A day trip to Kyoto!

3rd August

Today I headed to Kyoto for a day trip by myself to see some new sights! It was a really hot day but I went to the Heian shrine which I have been to before but I visited the garden which was new for me. It was a hot summers day but the garden was cool and shady and at times it felt like I was the only one there. I then went to Yasaka shrine and wandered the backstreets behind it before doing some shopping. I love days like this in Japan where you can hop on a train for an hour and a half and see new things in a whole different city!
