Kyoto 2024 Spring - Day 3

Today's plan - 清水寺&周邊小路散步&祇園 銀閣寺 京都御所

This is the northeast part of Kyoto, or the Higashiyama Ward (東山區). Kiyomizu-dera 清水寺 is spetacular. 

Gion corner is not too far away. Maybe it is more suitable for afternoon or night tour, we were not impressed. Had lunch at a family resturant in the alley. Continued tour around the area, then headed northwest to Kyoto Imperial Palace. I took the wrong bus stop, ended south side of the palace. The walk to the main palace entrance took a while.

The visit to the palace is worthywhile and exhausted.

Last stop is Higashiyama Jisho-ji 東山慈照寺 and Philosopher's Path 哲学の道

I guess if it was in cherry's full blossom, it would be fantastic. However, we are about 3 weeks earlier.
