A place I have visited

Kyoto Japan


Acommodation

I went to Kyoto with my mother.We stayed in the Brighton Hotel, just 500 meters from the Kyoto Imperial Palace. We enjoyed walking there in the morning. They have a fantastic garden. The hotel room was elegant. There were professional and friendly bilingual staff who offered a full range of services. However it was quite an expensive 5 star hotel.



Event

I went to a festival called Aoi Matsuri. This is an annual festival and it is one of three big festivals in Kyoto. People were wearing traditional costumes. It was a gorgeous parade idone in an ancient style. We felt like we had gone back in time.

Activities

There are so many beautiful temples in Kyoto. We went to RYO-AN temple. This temple was built in 1450. The garden comprises fifteen rocks in grouping. Its looks perfect. I felt very peaceful seeing this amazing temple.

Transportation

There were all day passes for travel within Kyoto by bus and subway.
