    Everybody knows Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but not all people know where is his grave. In Higashiyama ward in Kyoto, there is an imposing mausoleum. It is on the top of a small mountain, and it takes about 20 minutes to climb the hill. However, it worth visiting. The entrance costs $1.

    In the middle of a busy commercial area, there is the site, where Sakamoto Ryoma and Nakaoka Shintaro were attacked and killed. Before there was only an unnoticeable stele, but now there is a panel with portraits. For the people who like the history of Meiji Restoration, it is a must-see place.

    The Togetsu bridge, or Moon Crossing bridge, was a famous tourist spot in Arashiyama. A stone statue with the name of the bridge on it had been erected alongside the river. You could take photo with it with the timber bridge at background.

    The monument of Yahikita, characters of Jippensha Ikku’s comical story, is located at the west end of Sanjyo Ohashi. If you are not attentive, you might overlook it. Tajikita in that story traveled along Tokaido from Edo to Kyoto, and so Sanjyo Ohashi, the goal of Tokaido, is therefore a symbolic place.

    There is a statue of Takayama Hikojiro, bowing towards the imperial palace. As mobile phone was not popular, this was the meeting point. At that time, Keihan Sanjo was a terminal station and the station was on the ground level. Today, the statue of Takayama is still at the same place, but the scenery is much changed.
