There wasn't much at Heian Shrine but it was on the way to Nanzenji so at least we didn't have to go out of our way to come here.
At the exit, we turned left along the moat and walked towards Nanzenji.

Near the entrance to Nanzenji, we bought a bottle of Livita to recharge. I was able to grasp the price when the lady told us how much the bottle cost. At least learning my 1-1000 was put to use.

After Nanzenji, we walked along the Path of Philosophy to get to Ginkakuji . The walk is about 1.5 kms each way, similar to our walk to Korakukan to see the 'snow monkeys'. The area is a quite, peaceful residential area

We got a little lost trying to find the bus station where we got off but we eventually got back on the right track before it got dark. Somewhere along the way.

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment.

Is there any way you can remove people from that service?

Thank you!
