Trip to Kansai area, Japan

I visited this area during 23-30 May 2013 and went to see the famous spots in Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe. Due to the devaluation of Japanese yen, it is comparatively cheaper in every aspect than other European and American countries. Perhaps, it is one of the reasons why people from Hong Kong rush there.


Akashi Harbour Bridge, 26 May 2013

Arashiyama, Kyoto,25 May 2013
It is very windy but convenient to access.
Everyone may go there anytime as it is open round the clock and there's no entry charge. It is good for viewing sunrise and sunset.











The background is a famous wooden bridge connecting both shores of River Katsura. It is accessible via Hankyu rail lines and bus from the town center of Kyoto City.










Heien Mountain, Kyoto, 24 May 2013

This is the monument located near the entry of Enrikiji Temple where one may take a cable car ride down the mountain to Sakamoto town near Lake Biwa. It is accessible via Keihan rail lines from Osaka and Kyoto.
