Attraction Introduction

【Kiyomizu‑dera Temple】A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Kyoto's most popular tourist attractions. Founded in 778, it is the oldest temple in Kyoto and a national treasure of Japan. Jishu Shrine, located on the north side of the main hall of Kiyomizu‑dera, is a shrine dedicated to matchmaking and praying for love. (Admission fee: Adults: 500 yen, Elementary and junior high school students: 200 yen) Please pay at your own expense (cash only)

【Ninenzaka & Sannenzaka】Located outside Kiyomizu‑dera, Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka are slopes with a unique Kyoto charm, designated as an "Important Preservation District for Traditional Buildings" in Japan. The stone‑paved slopes are lined with traditional Japanese buildings exuding an old‑world atmosphere, featuring a dazzling array of delicacies, paper fans, dolls, chopsticks, and other handicrafts.

【Ishibei Alley】Turn right at the end of Ninenzaka and continue north, and you will see Ishibei Alley. With fewer visitors, this cobblestone path is lined with elegant traditional Japanese houses on both sides, giving a sense of stepping back in time, away from the hustle and bustle, back to tranquillity.

【Gion · Hanami‑koji Street】A famous and historic flower district. In the 1960s, there were nearly a thousand geiko (geisha) in Kyoto, and to this day, dozens of geiko instructors still provide training in traditional tea ceremony, flower arrangement, koto (Japanese harp), gagaku (court music), kyogen (comic theatre), maiko (apprentice geisha) dance, bunraku (puppet theatre), and more. Stepping into the flower district, an old‑world charm greets you: exquisite tea houses with latticed wooden doors tightly shut on both sides... This is a mysterious street running north‑south, approximately 1 kilometre in length. The northern section is modern, the southern section is traditional, each with its own distinct character and allure.

【Yasaka Shrine】Located in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto, this shrine is one of the most renowned and historically significant shrines in the Kansai region. It offers areas dedicated to fortune‑telling, writing ema (votive plaques), and purchasing omamori (amulets). The ema designs are highly varied, and the heart‑shaped ema for praying for love are especially popular.

(You may enjoy a local Kyoto‑style lunch on your own while admiring the charming old Japanese architecture, with your phone and camera clicking non‑stop)

▼Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine（Approx. 70 minutes, free activity）

Fushimi Inari Taisha is renowned for its "Senbon Torii" (thousands of torii gates), attracting countless visitors from Japan and abroad every year. It has even been ranked No. 1 in the "Most Popular Tourist Attraction in Japan for Foreign Visitors" for three consecutive years in a survey by the world's largest travel website. Let us offer our prayers here for ourselves and our beloved family members.

In addition, the ema at Fushimi Inari Taisha are also distinctive ‑ shaped like white foxes, they can be doodled on with a wild imagination to create all kinds of amusing expressions.

▼Nara Park（Approx. 1.5 hours, free activity）

Nara Park is an urban park located at the foot of Mount Wakakusa in Nara City. Major historical sites in Nara, such as Todai‑ji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine, are all located here, making it a must‑visit when touring Nara. Mount Wakakusa, near the park, offers superb panoramic views of Nara, and traditional events such as "Wakakusa Yamayaki" (mountain burning) are held here every January. Strolling leisurely through the park is the best way to explore it, and it is also home to the largest concentration of deer, with feeding the adorable deer being a highlight for visitors. The deer here are highly spirited; when they spot visitors holding deer crackers, they will walk up to you on their own, so be careful not to be toppled over by the herd of deer!
