Location Information

Kyoto has more than 2,000 Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, in addition the imperial palace, castles, gardens, parks, museums and monuments. A thorough exploration of these cultural riches would take weeks or even months. Yet by visiting some of the most famous sites and areas, it is possible in a short time to get a good impression of what Kyoto has to offer.

Obligatory places to visit include the Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, with its thousands of Torii gates up in the hillside behind it, and the Kiyomizu Temple, with its verandas seemingly hanging in the air above the steep hillside below. Ginkakuji Temple has one of the most charming gardens in Japan, and the Path of Philosophy leading from there towards the south along the Sosui Canal is one of the nicest walks Kyoto has to offer.
