Toraden (9)

At the end of the first series of travels around the country of Toraden, we will visit the city of Yangdes, which, like the capital of the country, lies on numerous canals and rivers. For this reason, it is called the water city. Yangdes developed from a fishing settlement in the 12th century due to the location of a temple called the "Swan Temple". To this day, the swan is a symbol of Yangdes and the name of the city means "good herald". Here we end our journey and let the 100 thousand city of Yangdes be our good herald of another trip to Toraden soon :)

“Sunset at Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto”

“Kiyomizu-dera, also known as the “Temple of the Pure Water Spring,” is a historic Buddhist temple nestled in Kyoto, Japan. With a rich history spanning over 1,250 years, the temple is situated halfway up Mount Otowa, amid Kyoto’s scenic Higashiyama mountain range. Dedicated to Kannon, a deity symbolizing mercy and compassion, Kiyomizu-dera attracts numerous visitors each year. I was lucky that I managed to time my visit to Kyoto with the peak of sakura season. For one week in spring, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the temple extends its opening hours until dark, offering a mesmerizing view of the pagoda and over 1,500 cherry blossoms set against the setting sun.”

A beautiful Japanese garden in a mountain valley. I took this during a whirlwind bus tour of shrines and temples in Kyoto, and I lost track of the name of the location.

From my October 2023 Japan trip.
