Vamos a la estacion Demachiyanagui en tren Keihan, y al llegar a la estacion

y comer comida japonesa. Si tenemos suerte, podemos ver a "geisha" y "maiko" !
Despues de comer, vamos a visitar "Sanju-Sangen Do" donde se conservan 1,001
estatuas de Budda. Es un lugar muy sagrado y al mismo tiempo muy importante
de la historia de Kyoto.
Si todavia tenemos tiempo, vamos a visitar "Fushimi-Inari Jinja" (tiene 1,000 porticos
sintoistas) o mercado "Nishiki" (mercado de todo), o Kiyomizu-Dera.
Espero que les guste mi plan de visita a Kioto !
