My Travel in Kyoto

 Hi. I'll introduce about my travel. I went to Kyoto when I was Junior high school student. Kyoto used to be the capital of Japan, so there are many historical buildings in Kyoto. For example, Kinkakuji temple, Nijo castle, and so on. Kinkakuji temple was build by Yoshimitsu Ashikaga. It's original name is called "Rokuon-ji" . This was rebuilt two times in 1694 and 1950. First time, this was burnt down by a war called "Onin no Ran" . Second time, this was burnt down by arson. Kinkakuji temple is made from 3 floors. The second and third floor is covered with gold, so it is called "kinkaku-ji".          Nijo castle was build in 1603 by Ieyasu Tokugawa of the Edo general to protect the kyoto imperial Palace and to seave as a place to stay when the general came to Kyoto. In 1867, Yoshinobu Tokugawa repatriated the Imperial Government      called "Taisei Hokan" .

  2. The grave of my maternal grandmother's family is in Kyoto, so I have a little connection to Kyoto.
