📍 Day 1 – Arashiyama & Onsen Ryokan
As soon as I arrived in Kyoto, I headed straight to Arashiyama 🏞️. The moment I walked through the bamboo grove and heard the wind blowing, I knew I was in Kyoto. I ended the day at an onsen ryokan, and the stargazing from the open-air bath is still unforgettable ✨.

📍 Day 2 – Strolling through Kyoto City
In the morning, I explored the Kyoto market 🍡. I enjoyed some unique Kyoto snacks in the food alley, and in the afternoon, I headed to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. The crimson autumn leaves and the tranquil atmosphere of the temple blended perfectly together 🍁. Walking along the Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka alleyways, I lost track of time as I passed by traditional houses and souvenir shops.

📍 Day 3 – Otsu & Uji
Let's expand our horizons a bit and explore the Kyoto suburbs! First, we took a break in Otsu, gazing at the tranquil lake 🪷. Then, we moved on to Uji, the home of matcha. A warm matcha latte while strolling along the Uji River... it was truly the highlight of our trip 🍵.

📍 Day 4 – Nara & Kyoto at Night
On our final day, we headed to Nara, played with adorable deer 🦌, and then returned to Kyoto. In the evening, we took a stroll along the Kamo River, fully soaking up the Kyoto atmosphere. Finally, we wrapped up our trip by strolling through the traditional streets of Kiyacho and Pontocho, filled with lights 🌙.

These four days made me realize once again that Kyoto isn't just a place to visit; it's a place that deepens the more you walk and becomes more peaceful the longer you stay. 💛.
