You will arrive at Kyoto station after a 2-hour and a half bullet train ride. Let’s head to one of the most famous sightseeing spots in Kyoto, Kinkakuji temple (Golden Pavilion), by local bus.

Kinakuji, often referred to as Kinkaku-ji, is a famous Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan. Its full name is “Kinkaku-ji” or “Golden Pavilion,” and it’s renowned for its stunning architecture and picturesque setting. The temple was originally built in 1397 as a retirement villa for the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and was converted into a Zen temple after his death.

The most striking feature of Kinkaku-ji is its top two floors, which are covered in gold leaf, giving it a gleaming appearance that reflects beautifully in the surrounding pond. The temple is surrounded by lush gardens and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting visitors from around the world for its historical significance and natural beauty.

Nishiki Market, often referred to as “Kyoto’s Kitchen,” is a vibrant and bustling shopping street located in central Kyoto. This traditional marketplace stretches over five blocks and is renowned for its wide variety of fresh produce, seafood, traditional Kyoto foods, and unique souvenirs.

Fushimi Inari Shrine is a major Shinto shrine in Kyoto, Japan, renowned for its iconic thousands of red torii gates. These gates form a picturesque pathway that winds up the wooded Mount Inari, leading to the main shrine at the summit.

The shrine is dedicated to Inari, the Shinto deity of rice, agriculture, and fertility, and it features several smaller shrines and structures throughout the mountain. The torii gates are donated by individuals or businesses, and each gate bears an inscription with the name of the donor and the date of the donation.

Fushimi Inari Shrine is famous for its vibrant and photogenic landscape, making it one of Kyoto’s most popular tourist destinations. The shrine’s trails offer a beautiful hike and the chance to experience the serene, spiritual atmosphere of the area.
