Japan 2006, Day 13 - Kyoto, Nara
Short photographic travelogue of day 13 of my first-ever trip to Japan in the spring of 2006. - 2006年の初訪日：13日目（京都、奈良）
till in Kyoto on day 13 of my first Japan trip in 2006, I went to Fushimi Inari Taisha in the morning. After a bit of a mixup between local and semi-express versions of the JR Nara Line, I finally emerged from Fushimi Station and started to explore the famous tunnels of orange torii gates.
I walked quite far up into the shrine and did in fact a full loop of the site. I really enjoyed this place. Afterwards, I boarded the Nara Line again and rode it to its terminus in Nara City, where I explored the historic area around Nara Park which is filled with many beautiful temples such as Kofukuji with its five-story pagoda.
Having returned to Kyoto in the evening, I took a walk around the Gion district. I was struck by this approach to dining while being able to look at an illuminated cherry tree in full bloom.
All photos shot with Nikon digital SLRs, edited in Adobe Lightroom 5.7 / LR Classic.
