  • Arashiyama
    Arashiyama is a scenic district located in western Kyoto and is one of the city’s most iconic sightseeing areas. Known for its beautiful natural surroundings and traditional atmosphere, Arashiyama has been a popular retreat since the Heian period. The area is famous for the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, where tall bamboo stalks create a peaceful and unique walking path. Another highlight is Togetsukyo Bridge, a historic bridge spanning the Katsura River, offering stunning seasonal views, especially during cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons. Visitors can also explore Tenryu-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its Zen garden and scenic landscape design. With its combination of nature, culture, and relaxed pace, Arashiyama is an ideal destination for first-time visitors to Kyoto, photography lovers, and travelers seeking an authentic Japanese experience.
  • Kinkakuji Temple
    Kinkaku-ji, also known as the Golden Pavilion, is one of Kyoto’s most famous landmarks and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Originally built in the late 14th century as a retirement villa for the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, it was later converted into a Zen Buddhist temple. The pavilion’s upper two floors are covered in gold leaf, beautifully reflecting on the surrounding pond and garden, creating a striking and elegant scene in every season. The carefully designed strolling garden and tranquil setting represent classic Japanese aesthetics and Zen philosophy. Kinkaku-ji is a must-visit site for first-time visitors to Kyoto and offers excellent photo opportunities, making it one of the most iconic and photographed locations in Japan.
  • Nishiki Market Shopping District
    Nishiki Market is a lively shopping street located in the heart of Kyoto and is often referred to as “Kyoto’s Kitchen.” With a history of over 400 years, the market is famous for its wide variety of local foods and traditional ingredients. The covered arcade stretches for several blocks and is lined with shops selling Kyoto-style street food, fresh seafood, pickles, sweets, tea, and local specialties. Visitors can sample many items while walking, making it an excellent place to experience Kyoto’s food culture. Nishiki Market is a great stop for first-time visitors, food lovers, and anyone interested in everyday Kyoto life. It also offers plenty of opportunities to shop for unique souvenirs and regional delicacies.
  • Gion
    Gion is Kyoto’s most famous traditional district, located near Yasaka Shrine, and is best known for its well-preserved streets, wooden machiya townhouses, and strong connection to geisha culture. Walking through Gion, especially along Hanamikoji Street and the scenic Shirakawa area, visitors can experience the elegant atmosphere of old Kyoto. The district is home to traditional teahouses, fine dining restaurants, and cultural venues where geiko and maiko (Kyoto geisha) continue to perform classical arts. Gion is an ideal place for an evening stroll and offers a unique glimpse into Kyoto’s historic charm, making it a must-visit destination for first-time visitors and those interested in Japanese culture.
  • Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine
    Fushimi Inari Shrine, where a long corridor of thousands of Torii Shrine gates, a bright red tunnel along the mountain path, is an amazing experience. You could walk through every gate, feel the ancient sense, and take photos. The Torii shrine gates form a maze, wish you can find your way out.
  • Kiyomizu-dera Temple
    Perched atop a gentle eminence on Kyoto's eastern flank, Kiyomizudera Temple commands a panoramic vista of the ancient cityscape. The temple's celebrated stage, hoisted by colossal pillars, stands as an iconic tableau of Japanese culture. Yet, the allure of Kiyomizudera transcends the mere beauty of its view; the journey to this sacred site begins a tale of wonder long before one sets foot on the temple's hallowed ground. You could pray in Jishu Shrine for true love coming to you. And walk to the Otowa waterfall, drinking a little bit of the water for luck and health.
