Exploring Temples at Mount Takao 🩵

Mount Takao is a mountain located near Kyoto city✨ and is a popular hiking spot among Japanese people, especially during the autumn foliage season 🍁🍂 (around October to November). During this time, there are many shops and food stalls open. Unfortunately, when we visited during winter, all the shops were closed 🥹💦.

The mountain is quite steep, so walking to each temple can be a bit tiring, but it's worth it because the scenery at each spot is absolutely beautiful 🍃☺️💚. We visited three temples in total:
- Jingo-ji Temple
- Saimyoji Temple
- Kozanji Temple

We spent about 3-4 hours leisurely exploring all three temples 🌿🍃.

🚌 Transportation: You can take a direct bus from Kyoto Station to the area! However, you'll need to walk to each temple from there (haha).
