Once my friend asked me, 'From 1 to 10, how much do you love living in Kyoto?' '11!' I love many aspects of Kyoto; the traditional alleyway, the surrounding mountains, the birds that lazily swimming on the river, and the friendly senior citizens. Even after more than 4 years living here, there is always something new to discover and to love. I am familiar with famous spots teeming with tourists, but I always recommend slow-paced excursion where you can appreciate details of this captivating city. My favorite place is Hiei Mountain where you can overlook both Kyoto City and Lake Biwa. I also love to stroll between greeneries and flowers in the Garden Museum. Or trekking along the Kiyotaki River during autumn. I hope you can make good memories during your visit in Kyoto!
