   Chion-in Temple

   Pass by

   Kyoto has several large temples that house towns inside, and their interiors are solemnly lit up. It's too far to walk there, and taxis can't get there, so it's an experience that can only be had by bicycle.

4. 4

   Hokan-ji Temple

   Sannenzaka Ninenzaka

   10 min

   We rode bike up Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka. When there were people around, We got off and pushed my bike for safety. There are a lot of people during the day, but at night it's very mysterious. This area is far from the station and taxis cannot get there, so unless you're staying nearby the only way to get there is by bicycle.
