Byodo-in Temple 🌿

If I were to visit again, I wouldn't spend 700 yen to go inside. 🎢🌟 I personally think it's a rather small garden and not really worth the 💰. 🍃🌺If you still want to spend half a day here to check it off your list, I suggest coming early in the morning, getting off the train, and first lining up at Nakamura Tokichi to get a number. 🎢🌟 Then, while waiting in line, take a walk by the Uji River. 🍃🌺After that, visit Japan's oldest shrine—Ujigami Shrine (though it's actually quite small). Once you've finished eating at Nakamura Tokichi, head to the shopping street to buy some souvenirs. 🎢🌟 For matcha powder, Nakamura Tokichi offers the best value for money. #Kyoto 🌿
