[Kyoto Travel Review] A Quiet Thrill at the End of an Alley

#JulyTravelSupport

Kyoto was a truly unique city. At first, it seemed quiet and monotonous, but the longer I stayed, the more lingering the memories rippled through my mind.

Each alley leading to Kiyomizu-dera Temple was postcard-like, especially beautiful in the evening when the lights came on. Even the whispers of the people walking beside me felt like background music.

At Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, the shops lined up beneath traditional tiled roofs, the scent of handmade pottery, incense, and warm matcha brought me a small sense of happiness.

Kyoto isn't a tourist destination or a place with any grand events, but it's a city I want to spend a whole day strolling through. It's in that slow pace that I find myself again.
