Riding Near Hanazono Station Kyoto

Cycling boys near Hanazono Station Kyoto花園駅の近くで自転車で帰宅

On a narrow road between Hanazono Station and Ninnaji Temple, a couple of school boys pedaled home.

The road is just west of Myoshinji Temple.

They are heading towards Narabigaoka Junior High School, and the mountain behind it is also called Narabigaoka.

The mountain was at one point owned by Ninnaji, and there were fears it would be developed.

The city of Kyoto however purchased the land, and a beautiful green space was saved.

It is not just a pretty park though. Within its hills are the burial mounds under which local aristocrats were interred.
