What to expect

  1. Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine
    1h
    The shrine is famous for the fantastic scenery of the thousand torii gates that line the approach to the shrine. These torii gates were placed at the shrine to pray for the safe fulfillment of wishes and as a token of gratitude for the fulfillment of wishes. Visit the shrine, which has been widely worshipped not only by emperors, aristocrats, and warriors, but also by the general public.
  2. Kiyomizu-dera Temple
    1h 30m · Admission ticket not included
    It is a World Heritage temple that represents Kyoto. Kiyomizu-dera, one of the most visited temples in Japan, is said to have started with the enshrining of a statue of Kannon (the name of Guanyin in Japanese), known for her compassion. You can get a full view of the beautiful streets of Kyoto from the famed stage of Kiyomizu-dera that protrudes from the mountainside.
  3. Sannenzaka Ninenzaka
    1h
    It is part of the approach to Kiyomizu Temple and is said to have been used by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's wife Kita no Mandokoro. Along with Ninen-zaka, it is designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings in Kyoto City. The winding stone pavement and stone steps are lined with old-fashioned buildings on both sides, and it is one of the focal points for sightseeing at Kiyomizu.
  4. Nijo Castle
    1h 30m · Admission ticket not included
    Nijo Castle, the place of glory and demise of the Tokugawa Shogunate, is a valuable castle holding Japanese history. Here you can sit in the garden and enjoy the view, a small break after the busy tourist rush.
  5. Kinkakuji Temple
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Kinkaku-ji, or the Golden Pavilion, is a famous Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto. Covered in gold leaf and surrounded by a beautiful pond and gardens, it offers stunning views and serene surroundings. Built in the 14th century, it remains a must-visit landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Experience the enchanting beauty and peaceful atmosphere that make Kinkaku-ji a true gem of Japan.
