Site Problems

babibubebo | 23 05 2007

If you have tried to visit my site recently, you may have failed. For some reason a my site just randomly decided to stop working and through trial and error I traced the problem to a plug in. So things here are a little messy right now as I am trying to figure out a way to fix it…

Anyway, Japan Photo Guide is once again going under some design changes as I will be going back to Freshy (v2.0) now that I can have 3 columns.  While I have made a fair amount of changes, I am still having a few problems that aren’t worked out yet, for example, if you click on a single post the left sidebar disappears.  Please let me know if you find anything strange going on!  Thanks!

Heian Shrine

babibubebo | 12 05 2007

Heian Shrine is located in eastern Kyoto and compared to the rest of the famous temples and shrines in Kyoto, it is very new, being built in 1895 for the 1,100th anniversary of the Heian Capital Foundation. Part of the shrine is a replica of the Imperial Palace of the Heian Period but not all of it is the same scale.

The best time to go here is during cherry blossom season, which is usually around the first week in April. Heian Shrine is one of the most famous places in Kyoto to see cherry blossoms, personally I prefer the Path of Philosophy though. To see the cherry blossoms here you have to pay an extra fee to go into the garden.

If you are short on time during your trip to Kyoto, it wouldn’t be so bad to skip the Heian Shrine (especially if it is not cherry blossom season). Below is a photo of a huge tori gate and in the background you can (kind of) see the entrance of Heian Shrine.
