The maple leaves are not yet in full bloom, but I couldn't wait to fly to Kyoto on a rainy day.

I took a bus from Kyoto Station to Takao Mountain, and it was raining heavily. I walked around the mountains of Seimei, Kobe, and Kozanji. The maple leaves were a little red, and I couldn't imagine how beautiful it would be when the maple leaves were in full bloom 🌳🍁 I was in the mountains on a rainy day, The mountains and fields are free. The sound of rain falling, The smell of grass in the air, Immersed in an increasingly ethereal atmosphere. 📍 Kyoto · Takao Sanzan If you want to get away from the crowds, Takao in the suburbs of northwest Kyoto is quieter than Arashiyama.
