Set off early in the morning and brought the one day bus pass (500yen) as S had planned the visit that required the bus. Highly recommended the bus pass if you will be using the bus frequently in a day since 1 trip would already cost 200 yen the least.
We reached the first Heian jingu super early but the counter for stamp was not going to open for at least another half hour. Hence we set off to the next destination, Ginkaku-ji, known as the silver pavilion. We were overwhelmed by all the Japanese school kids queuing at the entrance as it was not time yet. It turned out entire the day we were competing with school kids at major attractions lol. No joke, we were stuck with them in the trail, it was not possible slowly intake the view and the kids were never ending.
