Nice trip overall though our hotel room was smaller and more dated than the pictures suggested, and one of the transfer days between temple visits felt unusually long for the distance covered.
Feeding the deer at Nara Park turned into the funniest part of our anniversary trip, one deer literally chased my wife for the crackers packet.
Kyoto in winter with a light dusting of snow on Kinkaku-ji's roof was unbelievably beautiful, my husband and I just stood there for a long time not saying anything.
The shrines were blissfully peaceful in January. My husband isn't usually one for temples but even he lingered at Fushimi Inari, tracing the donors' names on the gates while our breath fogged in the cold.
Philosopher's Path in the cold quiet of January was such a romantic little walk, only wish there were more open cafes along the way since several were shut for the season.
Barely any crowd greeted us at Fushimi Inari's ten thousand gates in winter, completely different from what friends described from their summer trip, we had entire stretches of the path to ourselves.
Winter (December to February) offers a quieter, more serene Kyoto, often dusted with snow, creating a magical atmosphere.
