Ikeno: A Coastal Town in Kyoto โ
๐ฟ๐ Ikeno: A Coastal Town in Kyoto โ๐ฟ๐ It's not just Hokkaido where you can see snow! โ When it comes to snow in Japan, most people's first thought is Hokkaido. ๐ธ๐บ However, with the current difficulty in securing transportation there and the crowds, why not explore Kansai instead? ๐ The sea in Kyoto is different from the deep blue waters of Okinawa or the icy seas of Hokkaido; ๐ธ๐บ it has a tranquil, secluded vibe that is best embodied in Ikeno. ๐ฆ This place is known as the "Venice of Kyoto," where every house by the sea may not necessarily have a parking lot, ๐ธ๐บ but they must have a "boat dock" on the first floor. โต๏ธ Time seems to stand still here; you can see elderly people lounging by the sea or fishermen at the port. ๐ฟ๐ Thereโs no city noise, just a sense of peace and seclusion. ๐ โจ #Ikeno
