It's a bit of a trip from downtown Kyoto, but I finally made it! I spent JPY 500 for a set of Japanese matcha and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon looking out at the Jiboku Garden.

Yasaka Shrine
The shrine’s deities are Susanoo-no-Mikoto, Kushiinadahime-no-Mikoto, and Yahashira-no-Mikogami, and it is the head shrine of approximately 2,300 Yasaka Shrine and related shrines with Susanoo-no-Mikoto enshrined scattered throughout Japan.
Also known as Gion Shrine, this is where the famous Gion Festival—one of Japan's three major festivals—is held. If you walk from the other side, you'll reach the well-known Maruyama Park.

Yoro Park, Yoro Tenmei Hantenchi
The "Yoro Tenmei Hanten Chi" is a work of art that you can directly experience with your body, and is the realization of a 30-odd year vision by world-famous artist Shusaku Arakawa and his partner, poet Madeline Gins.
The designer's wild imagination really shines here. It feels like the world we see every day has been completely reimagined.

Yoro Park / Yoro Waterfall
Yoro Park sits at the foot of Mt. Yoro in the southwest of Gifu Prefecture, Nishimino Region. The vast premises have the Site of Reversible Destiny, Kodomo-no-kuni (kids’ land), and various leisure facilities. The park’s main spot, Yoro Waterfall, is at the innermost corner.
A perfect spot to breathe in some fresh air!
