I went there last year to see the autumn leaves and it was so beautiful.
I'm planning to go again at the end of this year.
It will be lit up from the 10th of next month until the end of the year.
Although we are still in a state of emergency, the Kyoto Prefectural Botanical Gardens will resume normal operations from June 1st. Many people still don’t know this, so even though it was a Saturday, there were very few visitors, so it was a very relaxing experience.

Conan's camera position is Kamogawa. It is a river that runs through the center of Kyoto. It is also a representative scenic spot. The scenery is generally very beautiful when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. It is nice to take a walk beside it after a good meal.
the place is good for a walk, you can just leavr your troubles and then go for a walk along the river for some quick recharge.

Now is the season for viewing plum blossoms, playing in the water in the summer, enjoying the cool air in the autumn maple leaves, and praying for the New Year, which are also full of Japanese style. As an important birthplace of Japanese Shinto culture, it is worth a visit. It is also an interesting place as a holy place for students to pray for passing the college entrance examination and entering their favorite university.
The representative of Kyoto shrines, it has beautiful scenery and various prayer activities all year round. The plum blossoms in early spring and the maple leaves in autumn are particularly beautiful. The top scholar shrine is very effective, and petting a cow can ensure safety. It is a holy place for candidates to pray for blessings. There are occasional public displays of national treasures, and you can also taste Goro cakes.

The shrines are all local Shinto shrines in Japan. They are different from temples and actually have more local characteristics.
[Scenery] The scenery is very good. The architecture is said to be Tang style, but the pond and 🌲 trees are more beautiful.
[Value for money] 600 yen is not expensive.
It is unexpected that weddings can be held here.
Heian Shrine, you can see the big torii. The big red pillars are bright and eye-catching. It's my first time here, so I naturally asked for a lucky charm and prayed.
The entrance fee to the shrine is 600 yen, and the pond and flowers are beautiful.
