It was beautiful day on last weekend.
I went to walk to Heian shrine.
It is bit far from our hotel but some of our guests try to walk to there sometimes so I wanted to know how long does it takes walk to there.
I leave our Ryokan at 13:30pm and walk up to north for marutamachi st.
When I get Marutamachi st and turn right to East.
keep walking on marutamachi st to East about 15 to 20 minutes you will find the kyoto Handicraft Center Building → → → →

This is very popular shop for souvenir for foreign tourist
I saw there are many foreigners there.
When you find this Handicraft center you are almost there !!!
walk to South from Marutamachi st and walk about 2minutes there are many huge buildings and turn left .
you will find the Big Torii(red gate for shrine) and its entrance for Heian shrine
Its takes about 25minutes walk from our Hotel to Heian Shrine. there are another way to walk to there little bit closer but I wanted to visit Handicraft centere so I choose this way.
I found one lady front of Heian Shrine.
she is carrying JINRIKISHA ( ricksha) . Jinrikisha is a mode of human powered transport a runner draws a two-wheeled cart which seats one or two persons.
The cost is from 2000yen for 10minutes for 2people up to 30,000yen for 2hours.
It is also nice to take Jinrikisha to visit some temples but bit expencive......
It start to be much cooler in Kyoto now so it is good to walk around Kyoto city!
