The Beauty of Kyoto

The beauty you find in Kyoto cannot be adequately described with words. The area is filled with Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines and private gardens that have been meticulously attended to for centuries, creating enclaves of wonder.

These are pictures I took on a trip back to Japan in fall 2017. Walking around Kyoto, I stumbled across this temple ground and went in. The beauty I find in Kyoto still astonishes me even though I was born and raised in Japan.
