Short Trip to Kansai-area (part2)

*"Sagano, 嵯峨野", "Arashiyama, 嵐山",  in Kyoto *  
 In Sagano;  my first experience to ride "trolley train,torokko-densha トロッコ電車"
Front and back of the train.  I found many foreigners during the trip :-)
   View of the Departure Station and inside of the train
View of the terminal station and during the ride


     In Arashiyama, 嵐山;  View of the 'Togetu-kyo 渡月橋'   kyo (橋) means 'bridge'

    Alongside the river, I found rickshaw store(?) 'jin-riki-sha;  人力車  man-power-car'. 
Coincidentally, there were Soba(そば)-restaurant next to it.   I wished to take the picture 
of the store with the rickshaw (to show my husband p:-) 



*Beautiful Night Illumination of the Kyoto Tower*
And view from the tower with Shinkansen next morning ;

    *On second day, we visited "Kyoto Museum of Art"*
I was amazed by the  beautiful building with great architecture.
We visited here to see "Louvre art exhibition"
As the taking pictures were prohibited (just entrance of the room), here is the link of the page you can see the works we saw at the museum. At the entrance there were picture of Johannes Vermeer.

                                                                                      To be continued to the final part3

  3. Hello Miyako, I like the images of the train cars and all the people with their cell phones taking photos. Are they statues on the second mosaic bottom left, they look cute. I like the shape of the tree, very pretty scene. It would be neat to take a ride in the rickshaw. The tower is pretty at night. I hope you enjoyed the museum visit. Have a happy day and week ahead!

  5. Lovely to get to see that wonderful exhibit. I like Art Museums and exhibits, but Bill not so much ;).. he would be happy if I would go alone or with a friend. The building and grounds are very beautiful and it was exciting for you to get to take a tram ride!

  6. Hi Miyako san. The torokko-densha is very pretty! I love the chairs inside. Gives nice retro-look!
    I've used jin-riki-sha once in the past (when I was on sightseeing on foot and couldn't walk any more!)I liked the comfy ride very much :-) Jin-riki-sha in front of soba-restaurant looks very fu-ryu!
    The building of Kyoto Museum of Art looks interesting. Kind of eastern & western combined?
    I enjoyed all the photos. Have a wonderful day, Miyako san!

  8. What a wonderful trip, Miyako! You shared some interesting photos, and I especially love the lighted tower! And, how I would have loved to see the art exhibit but I know it happens often that photos are not permitted. Have a wonderful week!

  9. Hello Miyako, you are right, it is a lovely building. Your country is just gorgeous. I especially like the last photo, not sure what it's called but I believe it's quite handy to get around in! What a lovely day too.

  12. Dearest Miyako,
    Again in this area The Netherlands and Japan do have so much in common as we have Trams in the big cities in the west.
    It is fun to ride and I'm surprised this was your first Tram ride. Yes, it is called trolley-car and in San Francisco even streetcar!
    Lovely Kansai area! Love the Kyoto Tower.
    Also incredible contrast between the rickshaw and the bullet train!
    Hugs to my friend,
    Mariette

  22. I have enjoyed your Osaka/Kyoto posts, they bring back memories of our trip to Japan. We went to the aquarium in Osaka (I think) and it was wonderful. We were based in Kobe and travelled to different places on the trains, I couldn't get over how clean the public transport was. We had a fabulous time in Japan.
    Thanks for bringing back good memories.

    Love from New Zealand,
    Diana
