Kyoto on a rainy day.
As a tourist, we might feel we’ve lost a day when it rains during our trip. But don’t be dismayed as Kyoto has some places which can be more beautiful. The contrast of stone pavements and green/autumn leaves is stunningly beautiful with a rain. And moreover, major destinations will be less crowded.
• Higashiyama Area: Sanneizaka, Ninenzaka, Yasaka-no-tou Pagoda (Hokanji Temple), Nene-no-Michi
• Gion Area: Kenninji Temple, Hanamikoji Street, Gion Shirakawa
• Pontocho Street
• Tofukuji Temple and Komyo-in Sub-temple in it
• Sanzen-in Temple
• Arashiyama Area: Togetsukyo Bridge, Jojakkoji Temple, Gioji Temple, Adashino Nenbutsuji Temple, Otagi Nenbutsuji Temple
These places are particularly well-known for the beauty in a rain.
