Our airplane from Narita arrived in Osaka later than expected, and because of several unexpected incidents, we reached the hotel around 11pm just before going to bed.
The first full day began with Fushimi Grand Shrine where we experienced going through a part of 1000 Torii Gates. From Fushimi Inari, we went to Sanjusangendo temple where students enjoy magnificent 1001 statues of Buddha for mercy.
After the lunch break in Gion area, we headed to Yasaka Shrine and Maruyama Park. In the Yasaka Shrine we happened to see the wedding. Main Cherry Blossoms in Maruyama Park were in full bloom with many SAKURA trees around it.
From Maruyama Park, we walked in front of Chion'in temple to the subway station near Heian Jingu Shrine, and eventually reached Kyogoku shopping street before going back to the hotel
Very good beginning of the trip.
