Itinerary

1. Kiyomizu-dera Temple

At Kiyomizu-dera, you can enjoy beautiful views from the famous wooden stage, learn about Japan’s spiritual traditions, draw an omikuji fortune slip, and experience how to pray at a temple. It’s also a great place to take memorable photos of Kyoto’s historic charm.

Duration: 120 mins

2. Yasaka Koshin-Do

Yasaka Koshin-do is a small but colorful temple famous for its “kukurizaru” – bright cloth charms that represent personal desires. Visitors can write their wish on a charm and hang it up to show their commitment to letting go of that desire. It’s a popular photo spot and a great place to experience a unique part of Kyoto’s spiritual culture.

Duration: 30 mins

3. Hōkan-ji Temple (Yasaka Pagoda)

Yasaka Pagoda, also known as Hokan-ji Temple, is a five-story wooden pagoda and one of Kyoto’s most recognizable symbols. It stands gracefully among traditional houses and narrow stone-paved streets. While the inside is not always open to the public, the view from the outside is perfect for photos and gives you a true sense of old Kyoto.

Duration: 30 mins

4. Yasaka Shrine

Yasaka Shrine is a major Shinto shrine located at the edge of the Gion district. Known for its striking red gate and rows of lanterns, it’s a popular place for both spiritual practice and sightseeing. Visitors can learn how to properly pray at a shrine, draw an omikuji fortune, and enjoy the calm, sacred atmosphere.
