Kyoto Gyoen time.
I like this shot
Sunset, shadow, gate, walls and trees.
A long straight
An exit/entrance. A shrine on the other side of the road
Kyoto Gyoen feels epic.
Wide, quiet, open spaces. Greenery and flowers. Spring is a great season to be at Kyoto gyoen.
Getting a closer look
Green cherry blossoms
I didn’t know they existed. This one still has buds that have yet to bloom.
The usual variety
You can see the fallen petals on the ground clearly.
A nice pond
Identify this!
Sun is setting
Walls!
You can spot similar walls in a Kyoto episode of Oda Nobuna no Yabou.
Long stretch
Corner
Gate
Wide, as wider than Hidamari Sketch
All that feel. It really is nice to be in such a wide place with very little people around you. Its relaxing to walk and walk towards an unknown destination.
I’ll visit this place again whenever I’m in Kansai in the future.
Mountain visible from Kyoto Gyoen
Gate
Did I mention that I like the walls and gates and the architecture in general?
Wall and gate
And a person for perspective.

Walking around Kyoto Gosho
That’s the end of the Kyoto Gyoen trip, I’m gonna have to spend more time there the next time.
The walk to Marutamachi station was a short one, following that a subway ride back to Kyoto station. Shopping for supper and its back to the hotel.
Kyoto station’s underground shopping area is huge.
