Ohara

Ohara is a lovely town close to the city of Kyoto and is not typically included in the tours. It is less crowded and you have temples, like Sanzen-in as popular and lovely as those of Kyoto. Ohara is north of Tokyo and to arrive we have to take the bus 17 from Kyoto Station but not one of the regular buses but those that go out of town.They don´t sell a day bond buying tourists to use this means of transport. Since there are 2 number 17s one must be careful: the 17 that we have to take says OHARA. The ride to Ohara is about an hour, because there are many stops. This village is situated in a beautiful valley in which were built many temples, some of which have achieved great fame.
