Sunday 8th October 2017. 18:00 Kyoto Japan.
We decided to climb Daimonji to watch the sunset. We both can’t get enough of watching sunsets haha but we definitely made the right decision as tonight’s one was a banger! We got to the top with plenty of time to spare, it was lovely to relax and actually watch the sun go down.

I was happy to be greeted by this wonderful sight as I cycled home from my last day at work. There has been some incredible sunsets recently, let’s hope it stays this way! Mt.Hieizan looking beautiful as per usual. This is what I will miss the most when I move to Osaka.

We spent a couple of hours mooching around the park and we came across the festival parade leaving the park grounds. It was super dark but the carts looked so cool all lit up. There was so much energy, the men were tipping the carts up and down, running backwards and forwards, chanting, singing, everything. Such a vibe. Nice Sunday.

Osaka Castle Park (大阪城公園 Osaka-Jō-Kōen) is a public urban park and historical site situated at Osaka-Jō in Chūō-ku, Osaka, Japan. It lies on the south of the Ōkawa (Kyū-Yodo River) and occupies a large area in the centre of the city of Osaka. This park is the second largest park in the city.
This place is so close to my house, 2 stops down on the train or a 25 minute bike ride. Perfect.
We jumped on the train and went for a wander. We were greeted by a huge festival, we had no idea this was taking place, but there was such a great vibe and everything was so loud! We walked up to the castle and sat on the top of the turrets watching the sunset over the city. The koyo looked amazing too.

This was the first glimpse of how a lot of my sunsets are going to look from now on inside the big city. It was day 2 of commuting from my new apartment in Osaka, everything is still up in the air, but I’m happy to be living and working in the same city already.

Kiyomizu at sunset. It was actually not as busy as what I had anticipated which made for a nice change instead of crazy touristy crowds squashed together lol. The koyo is just breaking through here at the temple, still slightly early yet, but the colours were lovely.

After a short visit to Gion I cycled further down the river to Kiyomizu-dera. It’s been a while since I visited here but as the sun was setting over Kyoto there was no better time ti visit this awesome temple. This is one of the best places in Kyoto to view Koyo (紅葉). Koyo refers to the phenomenon of changing autumn colours, mainly when it occurs to the leaves of deciduous broad-leaf trees before the leaves fall to the ground. Although I think I was a little early with my visit.

Cycling down the Kamo River today felt so satisfying. I didn’t have much free time left in Kyoto at all so I decided to take in some of the sights before moving next weekend. It won’t be goodbye forever as Osaka is still pretty close but having lived here for a year it will always have a special place in my heart.
