I'm almost finish with all the places we visited in Japan that I want to show you. Today I bring you one of the classic routes in Kyoto: Golden Pavilion, Heian Jingu shrine and Kiyomizu-dera.
Ya me quedan poco sitios que mostraros de nuestro viaje a Japón. Hoy os traigo una de las rutas clásicas en Kyoto: Pabellón dorado, Heian Jingu y Kiyomizu-dera.

Kinkaku-ji or Golden Pavilion is one of the most famous places in Kyoto. This was my third visit to this place, but the first one with such a blazing sun! It is wonderful to see its golden walls shining under the sun. It was originally built in 1397 as a holiday village and it has lovely grounds.
El pabellón dorado o Kinkaku-ji es uno de los lugares más famosos de Kyoto. La verdad es que esta era la tercera vez que lo visitaba, pero la única con un sol tan resplandeciente! Es una maravilla verlo brillar bajo el sol. Fue construido originalmente en 1397 como villa de descanso y posee unos preciosos jardines.
From here we went to the Heian Jingu shrine . Another temple I visited on my first trip to Japan that I was keen to see it more calmly. The Heian Jingu was built in 1895 to mark the 1100th anniversary of the founding of Heian-kyō (the old name of Kyoto). The shrine is dedicated to Kanmu emperors, founder of Kyoto as capital and Kōmei, last emperor to reside in Kyoto. Its vast esplanade crowned by symmetric red buildings hides a lush courtyard garden. Strongly recommended.
Lastly we visited Kiyomizu-dera (Temple of pure water). The main hall has a large veranda, supported by tall pillars, that juts out over the hillside and offers breathtaking views of the city. There is not a single nail used in the entire structure. During the fall, their trees acquire an incredible red color and the temple opens at night illuminating the entire structure. The Japanese flock to enjoy this spectacle and so did we! Beautiful!
Por último visitamos Kiyomizu-dera (templo del agua pura), templo que no conocía. El edificio principal destaca por su enorme baranda, sostenida por cientos de pilares, que sobresale de la colina y ofrece impresionantes vistas de la ciudad. No se ha utilizado ni un solo clavo en toda la estructura! Durante el otoño, sus arboles adquieren un increíble color rojo y el templo abre por la noche iluminando toda la estructura. Los japoneses acuden en masa a disfrutar de semejante espectáculo y, nosotros no íbamos a ser menos! Precioso!
Have a nice weekend!
Feliz fin de semana!
