Second life in Kyoto

I have learned Japanese culture before, but I haven’t been to there, Thus I searched Kyoto in the searching box and teleported to there.

There was a sign in front of this place and showed the name of it “Gion Kyoto’s entertainment district”. When I arrived at this place, the nearby chat showed a Japanese sentence “konichiwa”which means “hello”in English. I replied him/her “konichwa” as well.

Then I entered the gate, there was a shrine on the left side. Its name is “八坂神社”. There were two things that wear the clothes of samurai in front of the Shrine.

Inside of the shrine, there were many Japanese traditional snacks, such as takoyaki, yakitori and so on.

I went far in the shrine and found a place that people can pray and donate. It’s really like what I have seen in the TV shows. People can donate and make wishes in this place.

After visiting this shrine, I saw a park called “maruyama park”. The environment of this park was very pretty and the decorations and buildings in this park were Japanese style. There were fishes in the pools and beautiful flowers and trees by the side of the pool.

More inside of the park, there was a sakura tree in front of a small mountain. A swan was on the pool. I choose to site down to enjoy the view.

I really like this park, the flowers, the chairs and even the umbrella made me feel like I was in Japan at that moment.
