As soon as I entered the church, I was shocked because it is tremendously beautiful. The architecture of this building is truly amazing. This is probably the first church I had been to that gave me this feeling.
I was actually surprised not many people came here for a visit. One of the staff greeted us and told us we are free to walk around, take photos, and explore the church.

My last stop in my Kyoto was Nijō Castle. I was planning to go a few more temples but the temperature was just too hot so I decided this will be my final stop before heading to Osaka.
Nijō Castle is extremely well known because it was the home of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first Shogun in Japan. Back in the days, shogun was the ruler of the country as he possessed a lot of power. Other clans and their fedual lords would have to listen to the shogun and be prepared to be summoned when needed.

Our next stop was the Fisgard Lighthouse which is only couple minutes drive from Hatley Castle. I was planning to come here for the sunset but our schedule was too tight that coming back at sunset would not be ideal. This lighthouse is connected to Fort Rodd Hill which a very cheap entrance fee.
At the beginning, I was told that I could go into the lighthouse. I was so excited at first but I realized that they blocked half way through so you could only go into the red part of the lighthouse, not the top of it. Even though I was a bit disappointed but the view here is amazing :)

The Lions Gate Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks in Vancouver. It is also one of the major bridges that is heavily used everyday. In comparison to many bridges in Vancouver, it is probably the prettiest with all these lights at night.
When I finished taking photos on Cypress Mountain, I decided to make a stop near the Lions Gate Bridge and get a closer look. Damn! it is very pretty...this shot is edited through Capture One Pro 12. I think one of the advantages with Capture One is that you can pull a little bit more details...which is good for Fujifilm RAW files :)

After visiting the keep, we went to another section of the Himeji Castle, the Wo No Yagura Tower. This is where all the soldiers defend the castle.
Throughout this hallway, you get to see both inside and outside of the castle. There are many displays where you can learn about the history of the castle, including some of the weapons they use during that time.

For the last day in Kyoto, we decided to go one more temple before heading to Osaka. Out of many temples I didn't go, I randomly picked Nanzenji as there are so many beautiful ones in Kyoto; it is almost impossible to go to a bad one.
Nanzenji isn't one of the five great Zen temples in Kyoto but it is still considered one of the best in the city. Many people come to this temple for the Sanmon (front gate) as it is pretty gigantic; it is almost as big as the one in Chion-ji. The nice thing about this temple is that you can go up the Sanmon gate and get a view of its surrounding. It is very beautiful indeed. In addition, the back garden of Nanzen-ji is quite unique as it is mixed with Japanese and Western culture.

Dzisiaj sesja w Intempo 😎🇪🇸🌴
Wyjątkowo wstawiam takie zdjecie 😎 bo ten obiekt robi niesamowite wrażenie pomimo, że często odwiedzam naprawdę wyjątkowe domy i apartamenty. Ponad 200 metrowy kolos o dwóch bliźniaczych wieżach - zwieńczony na szczycie „diamentem” który łączy te wieże. 🔥😎 A na szczycie 47 piętro basen z widokiem na wybrzeże zaprojektowany tak, że braknie tchu… Nooo powiem krótko „jaram się takimi wnętrzami” 😎
Zapraszam na Instagram:
My second last day in Tokyo started off with Tokyo Skytree. I heard many mixed reviews of going up. In the end, I just stayed down here to explore the area and had some matcha ice-cream :)
I began to have mixed feelings when I had few days left in Japan. I felt like I could use another week to explore a beautiful and amazing city like Tokyo...
