Tram Wearing The Ancient Capital Of Kyoto

From Tan Son Nhat airport, we took a plane of Japan Airlines to Tokyo, it took five hours to arrive. Japan Airlines flight attendants are especially happy and friendly, always smiling and courteous, compared to Vietnam Airlines. The service of Vietnam Airlines is not that bad, but it is necessary to pay a higher salary for the flight attendants to have more smiles, especially for Vietnamese guests. Kyoto ancient capital train Once in Tokyo, this time we took a high-speed train Shinkansen visited the ancient capital of Kyoto over 1,000 years old, a famous tourist destination in the world.Kyoto is quite small, bus and subway system is very convenient

. If you want to save money and become a time millionaire, you can look at the map for yourself and take the bus to get to the attractions. Kyoto's bus is easy to go, with screens showing the station names in English so it is easy for visitors, each station has a voice that reads in English, Chinese introduces the places to see. However, this time we chose the day tour, it costs a bit (120 USD / day) but has a guide explaining many interesting things so that I do not have to look up documents and save time During World War II, Kyoto was not bombed by the US, so the monuments were not destroyed The tour guide is Ms.



Izumi, around 50 years old. Want to understand about the sights, you must hear her briefly about the history of Japan. From the eighth century, the Emperor moved the capital to Kyoto. But in the twelfth century, the emperor's power declined, when the Shogun (Shogun) assumed the highest power. Under the Shogun were the Feudal Lords (Lords), under the Feudal Lords were the Samurai (Knights). The Feudal Lords must submit to the Shogun in order to be granted land and to give power, and the emperor does not have much power. By the nineteenth century, the power of the Shogun declined and had to give power to the Emperor (Meiji) and he decided to move the capital to Tokyo Our first attraction was Nijo Castle.



This is the place where Shogun in the seventeenth century was used as a place to stay and welcome emperors or lords. Visitors walk in the hallways along the rooms where the Shogun lives and live. On the way, people let guests hear the rustling sound like the sound of kimonos gliding on the floor in the olden days, admiring the paintings painted 400-500 years ago on the wall, looking at the dummies simulating Shogun, lord ... very interesting. The second point is the Royal Palace. When entering, the delegations must line up from the private line, time is strictly limited (30 minutes / group).



The architecture of the palace is a bit like China and Japanese with black and white tones, not yellow and red.Other attractions are Kinkaku-ji (Golden Palace), Ginkakuji temple (Silver Palace), Hejan Jingu (Splendic Shinto shrine) ... is also very attractive. But coming to Kyoto, it is equally interesting to admire the monuments, you can feel Japanese culture. Unlike elsewhere, visitors come to one place to see an architecture, a certain natural scene. In Japan, just one temple is not so beautiful.



But the Japanese make that temple, architecture in coordination with surrounding plants, people, climate ... all blend into a beautiful whole. The Japanese (past and present) must have such a high artistic talent, a very thick culture and a meticulous working attitude, not only that, any corner of the street you can Surprised by suddenly admiring an unnamed beauty that was not recorded in the tour guide book The evening we went on a Kyoto night tour, our guide, Ms. Michiko, took everyone to the Gion area to watch a brief show During an hour of Japanese cultural arts: Chado (tea ceremony), Kado (flower arrangement), Koto, Gadaku (set-up) or Kyomai (Maiko dance). Michiko explains that in Tokyo it's called Geisha but in Kyoto it's called Geiko. Girls who want to become Geiko have to learn from 12-13 years old, a period of about five years with a very harsh training program called Maiko (Geiko is still studying).



At that time, if you perform or receive guests, you will not have a salary, you will not have to pay tuition fees, but the owner will take care of all. Maiko and Geiko's job is to receive guests, pour wine, and chat with guests. By law, guests cannot meet Maiko and Geiko on their own, but must go through a referral from another patrons. To pay for such a service is very expensive, up to a thousand dollars. Geisha Costumes With time, fewer and fewer people wear kimonos, so that now who wear kimonos, taking a taxi can get a discount. avoid having to buy tickets. A very expensive kimono (between $ 5,000 - $ 20,000). When getting married, usually the bride changes three sets of clothes, first a kimono, followed by a dress and finally a different kimono.



Therefore, it is said that if the family has three daughters, then it will be… bankrupt! If in Vietnam today, the ideal young person is 3G (handsome, rich, good at school), in Japan that standard is (1) university graduate, (2) second son (eldest son must live in chun.
