What to expect

  1. Kinkakuji Temple
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Kinkakuji, also known as the Golden Pavilion, is one of Kyoto’s most iconic landmarks. This Zen Buddhist temple is famous for its top two floors, which are completely covered in gold leaf, reflecting beautifully in the surrounding pond and creating a stunning, picture-perfect scene.

    Originally built in 1397 as a retirement villa for a shogun, it was later converted into a temple. The peaceful garden and mirror-like pond enhance the elegance of the structure, making Kinkakuji a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Kyoto.
  2. Nishiki Market
    1h
    Nishiki Market is a lively, narrow shopping street in the heart of Kyoto, known as “Kyoto’s Kitchen.” Stretching about 400 meters, it is lined with over 100 shops and stalls offering a wide variety of local foods, fresh produce, street snacks, and traditional goods.
    From pickles and matcha sweets to fresh seafood and kitchenware, Nishiki Market is the perfect place to experience Kyoto’s culinary culture. It’s a great spot to sample local delicacies, meet friendly vendors, and discover unique souvenirs in an authentic atmosphere.
