Tomorrow the whole world will celebrate St.
Valentine's Day!
Many couples will go for dinner to some
fancy restaurants. But for guests coming to Kyoto we suggest much more exciting
and romantic ways to spend this day.
l
Kyoto Planetarium.
Just for 510 Yen you can travel around
Universe together. Science center with Planetarium is 15 min walk from Takeda Station.
Show starts at 13:00 and 15:45.
l
Small picnic at Kamogawa River.
It is still little bit cold outside. But if
you would like to feel romantic atmosphere of Kyoto, wear something warm, grab
some snack and spend this evening at the
riverside of Kamogawa around Shijo. You can also have dinner at one of the restaurants
nearby with picturesque view, however, they are quite pricey.
l
Umeda Sky Building (Osaka; 30 mins by
train from Kyoto Station)
Umeda Sky Building is 173 meters high. The
40th top and the rooftop are the Floating Garden Observatory where you can
enjoy the sky and panoramic views. Entrance fee is 700 Yen.
l
Day trip to Nara
One of the most romantic places in Kansai
is former capital Nara with its deer and old-fashioned shops and restaurants.
Walk through Nara Park, try to feed deer and of course don’t miss Todaiji-
temple with the biggest statue of Buddha in Japan.
l
Yasui Konpiragu Shrine
This shrine, located at Higashiyama area,
not far from Yasaka Shrine, is famous for removing all evil fate that stands in
the way of happy relationships between men and women. When married or dating
couples, who are matched by good fate, visit the shrine, their good relationship
will not be disturbed. They should have no concerns, since they will be blessed
with an even deeper and stronger connection.
So these are a few options for your date in
Kyoto.
By the way, tomorrow we are having Valentine’s Day Party at
J-Hoppers Kyoto! Join us!
