OSAKA KYOTO APRIL 2013 DAY 4 KYOTO

 12 APR 2013

Today we were back in Kyoto for viewing some landmarks and historical sites.  With good spring weather, it was a great day to move around Kyoto city. Moving around the city was convenient with local buses. 

Heian Shrine and the Garden



This is a Shinto Shrine built in 1895 designed to mimic the likeness of old Imperial Palace. It is a recommended site to see weeping cherry trees.































Imperial Palace external ground and walls. We did not enter the palace as it was closed.

 











Kyoto Gyoen National Garden

This huge park surrounds the Kyoto Imperial Palace. It is also a popular spot for sakura “hanami” or cherry blossom viewing. 












And we had take-out Japanese Sushi back in the hotel room. Most convenient dinner after a long day.
