Fabulous Kyoto

This was my first trip to Kyoto, unless you count my 2nd birthday, and it was fabulous!  My parents had been 40 years ago, but all going together in the Fall was wonderful.  I am disappointed by my photos as they don't capture the true beauty but unless one was a professional photographer I don't know if it's possible to compare the real thing.

The 1st full day we went to 3 temples near our air b&B - the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-Ji) followed by Ryoan-ji and Ninna-Ji, and in the evening took a bus to Gion district.  The 2nd day we went to Arashiyama to explore the Tenryu-ji temple, bamboo grove and Jojako temple, and finished with the Fushimi Imari shrine.  The last day we went to the Silver Pavilion (Ginkakuji), the Imperial Palace grounds and garden, and the Nishiki Market.

Here are some pics.
