How to Explore Kyoto Like a Pro 🏞️ Must-Do City Walk Route (2)

Daio-in 🌿 I happened to catch the special opening of Daio-in's Gion Pavilion. 🌸🍃 The entire tower's walls are covered with murals copied by the Chinese painter Ge Xinmin from the Dunhuang frescoes. 🌸🍃The craftsmanship is exquisite and definitely worth a visit. 🌟 Maruyama Park 🌸 There's a cherry blossom grove here, along with many snack stalls. It's a popular spot for locals to take their kids and relax. 🍂 Chion-in 🏯 The largest temple in Kyoto, and the place where the New Year's Eve bell is rung (home to Japan's largest bronze bell). 🌸🍃 It even has vending machines that automatically recite sutras after you purchase something! 🌇 juju 🐖 Continuing north, there are many boutique porcelain shops along the way. I bought two antique teacups from Kujira Kiln and a handmade small plate. 🌸🍃 I also stumbled upon juju's fried pork cutlet, which comes in several varieties, each carefully prepared from different parts of the pig. It was delicious! #Kyoto 🌿
