Kyoto Tour -- Day 4

Enkou-ji Templ -- Shisen-do Temple -- Renge-ji Temple -- Sanzenin Temple -- Jissoin Temple -- Kyoto Station (23:20)itinerary

Enkoji (円光寺) was in fact the finest-view temple in this trip. I like this kind of miniascape than large and open space. On the other hand Shisend which I went next was not nice at all; just crowded with people.

I biked north to Rengeji (蓮花寺) and then visited Oohara by Kyoto bus.

Sanzenin (三千院) was also very crowded and not impressive at all.

Jissoin (実相院), having a lot of document on the last days of shogunate, was not look like a temple but rather like a historic site. The famous red leaf floor was truly reflecting light of the maple red from outside.

After this excursion, I helped my brother configure his computer he bought yesterday. I said goodbye at Marutamachi station, but he came to Kyoto station by his bicycle to see me off. Thanks my bro!
