Walking around Kyoto

Kyoto routes and out-of-town trips: At least two full days are needed to get a taste of Kyoto; the city is extremely rich in history and culture, and you could easily spend a week exploring the ancient capital of Japan, but you can do two days to see the main attractions. Offered full-day schedules: Eastern Kyoto-complete exploration of Kyoto's eastern hills, this hiking trail includes most of the city's most popular temples and shrines, including Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Ginkakuji, Yasaka Shrine, Heian Shrine and Nanzenji. The route runs through the narrow streets of Higashiyama along a philosophical path. Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is one of the main attractions of Kyoto and for good reason: standing against the background of these soaring stems of bamboo, you feel in a different world. If you’re already planning a trip to Kyoto, you’ve probably seen pictures of Arashiyama Bamboo Grove – alongside the Fushimi-Inari Taisha Shrine, and Kinkaku-ji tunnels, one of the most photographed attractions in the city. But no photograph can convey the feeling of standing in the middle of a sprawling bamboo grove – all of which have a palpable sense of differentness. You will not regret being here.
