DISCOVER KYOTO
(京都)
The City Full Of Attractions & Culture


 Let's take a break from ghost stories and mysteries.

 また会う
Today I will introduce one of my favorite cities, Kyoto is a beautiful city, clean and rich in culture. One of the best cities in my opinion. Why do I like this city? This city reminds my love for someone. A woman who has gone forever. (Very sad). But we will not discuss it, we will discuss the beauty of the city.
Kyoto is the capital city of Kyoto Prefecture, located in the Kansai region of Japan. In Japanese, Kyoto was previously called Kyō, Miyako, or Kyō no Miyako. In the 11th century, the city was renamed Kyoto.

Japan's Spiritual Heart
This is a city of some 2000 temples and shrines: a city of true masterpieces of religious architecture, such as the retina-burning splendour of Kinkaku-ji (the famed Golden Pavilion) and the cavernous expanse of Higashi Hongan-ji. It's where robed monks shuffle between temple buildings, prayer chants resonate through stunning Zen gardens, and the faithful meditate on tatami-mat floors. Even as the modern city buzzes and shifts all around, a waft of burning incense, or the sight of a bright vermillion torii gate marking a shrine entrance, are regular reminders that Kyoto remains the spiritual heart of Japan.

Best Time to Visit Kyoto By Season
*********

Mid Late Winter (Mid January - Late February) : 
Large camellia flowers and plum trees, once favored for flower viewing even over the now-famous cherry blossoms, begin to bloom and brighten the more bare winter landscapes with their white, pink, and red petals. Located as it is in a valley surrounded by mountains.

Early Spring (March - April) : 
The most popular and most beautiful season begins in late March with the cherry blossoms, which last until approximately mid-April depending on the location.

Late Spring (May) :
Even after the cherry blossoms have fallen, spring in Kyoto is still a delight to the senses with colorful gardens filled with iris, azalea, wisteria, and more.

Early Summer (June) :
June in Kyoto is known as the beginning of the rainy season (tsuyu), Kyoto offers gorgeous water-loving lilies, hydrangeas, and other greenery. 

Mid Summer (July) :
July may be hot and humid in the Kyoto, but everyone tourist and local alike is energized by the Gion Festival.

Late Summer (August - Mid September) : 
August is Kyoto’s hottest month, this is the month for fireworks and yukata, and spending your nights by the cool rivers. Early 

Autumn (Mid September - October) :
September is when various shrines and temples hold Moon Viewing festivals, and late October is when two of Kyoto’s most famous festivals, the Jidai Matsuri (Festival of Ages) and Kurama no Hi Matsuri (Kurama Fire Festival).

Mid Late Autumn (Mid October - December) :
The kōyō season, when the leaves turn and color Kyoto brilliant shades of orange, red, and yellow, is the other most popular time to visit besides sakura season.

Early Winter (December - Mid January) :
Once December comes round it’s time for Japan’s version of “spring cleaning” as people prepare for trips to their hometowns for the New Year.

(So ... do you want to go to Kyoto while on vacation?)

URBAN LEGEND JAPAN HIKIKO SAN ひきこさん I don't think many of you know about this female ghost. Yes that's how it is...apart from being rarely discussed, this ghost turned out to be less popular than Sadako or Kayako.  As an addition to insight and knowledge, I will give a little story about her. WHO IS HIKIKO Hikiko san ( ひきこさん ) is an urban legend started to deter children from bullying. Her story says she was beaten at home by her father, which caused her to look deformed and her deformities caused her to also get bullied at school. One day, she had enough. Some say she committed suicide, while others say she was killed by her father. None the less, she has come back as a hostile spirit, seeking out those who have wronged her and killing them by dragging them on the ground until they die. ANOTHER STORY VERSION Mori Hikiko ( 森ひきこさん ) is a bad-faced little girl who is always tortured by her parents and friends. He was very depressed and experienced mental

URBAN LEGEND Tragic Story  CRAYON SHINCHAN  (クレヨンしんちゃん ) Who doesn't know this Japanese cartoon or anime series. Not only children but adults also love it. The ridiculous behavior of the Nohara family always brings laughter to their lover fans. I think Crayon Shinchan is a mandatory cartoon movie for children during the school holidays. Maybe Crayon Shinchan was a real story and not in the urban legend category. But some people consider the story was urban legend. It is said that the writer Yoshito Usui is reportedly inspired to write the story of Crayon Shinchan, from a mother named Misae who missed her son Shinosuke very much. Shinchan and Himawari are only figures who live in Misae's mind. Shinosuke died at the age of 5 because of an accident. At that time Shinchan wanted to save his sister Himawari from a car collision. But poor Shinchan and Himawari actually died in the incident. The sad event made Misae's mother's heart crumble. Misae be

URBAN LEGEND KOREA Cheonyeo Gwishin ( 처녀귀신 ) The Virgin Ghost This time I will tell about the story of Urban Legend from Korea, for Urban Legend from Japan to be continued in the next horror edition. Why Korea? Because Korea also has a strong culture. The proof is that legends and beliefs like this still exist in modern life.  As is known, every country must have a unique culture. Folklore and legend are also included in culture. The more the mystery of a legend and story, the more interesting it will be to discuss. THE STORY : Cheonyeo Gwishin (처녀 귀신) is a Korean ghost in the form of a long haired woman in white. In Korean legend, young women who die in a virgin will be ashamed of being a virgin. Therefore, the appearance of a ghost of a woman will appear around her relatives and friends. This ghost is described as having long hair, pale white face, and bleeding from his mouth. Cheonyeo Gwishin also wears a white shirt (Korean traditional dress called Hanbok ).
