Images from Kyoto

During my stay in Japan, I have visited the beautiful city of Kyoto on two occasions. The first time was on a trip to the Kansai area together with my nineteen fellow students from the Japan program. A second time has been with Hitachi during the so-called HISTEP teacher exchange program.
Below, you'll find some pictures of Kyoto's impressive shrines and temples. Although there are many more, I've only included pictures of Sanjusangendo, Kiyomizudera, which is my favorite and therefore deserves one, two, three photos, the Golden Temple and sake barrels at Heian-jingu.
