This was 3 days national holiday so we went to Kyoto around kinkakuji. I had visited there two times before, but it is our family's first visit since my son was born.

Bus is only way of public transportation so my image is tha  bus is always crowded and move slowly due to traffic jam, that's why we didn't go this district.
