Day 4 Kyoto, Japan

We started the day in Nijo castle, I happen to love castles and the cherry blossoms were fantastic.  




I was fascinated to see so many different species of cherry blossoms.  


These floor boards were made to squeak when people walked on them, as an early alarm system.  









Then we traveled to Heian Jingu Shrine.  


I wish I had visited this shrine on day one, the cherry blossoms had already started to fade when I visited.  That being said, this garden was wonderful.






This walkway was closed, so I was not able to walk across...but it was gorgeous none the less.








This was the most beautiful garden that we saw, throughout the trip.  


I couldn't end a day with Cherry Blossoms, without a bride picture.  :  )

Love Always,

Meg

Day 3 in Kyoto, Japan

Day 3 began with the Kiyomizdura Temple.  The roof is made of cedar, and the tall tower that you can see in the back-ground of the picture here was built to look like a lighthouse...so you can assume that I loved it here.






Next we made our way to the Kinkakuji temple (Golden Pavilion), which is spectacular in person.


These are pictures that I took right outside my hotel, I need more Cherry Blossoms in my life.  

Our final stop of the day was to the Prefectural Botanical Garden, my favorite spot was the Bonsai tree display.  





More bridal photos!!!



And finally, a quirky self portrait.  This is the glass from a pay phone, which was etched with geishas.  

Love Always,

Meg
