[Kyoto] Stay in Omiya: 6 Places You Want to Visit

What are the benefits of staying around Omiya Station⁡
It's convenient to use it as a base for touring "Arashiyama" and "other Kyoto sightseeing spots"😊⁡
⁡
There is an "Arashiyama train station with good access to Arashiyama" near Omiya Station, so if you're staying overnight and touring Kyoto, I recommend staying around here👍️⁡
⁡
⁡
This time, I'll introduce the spots by leaving JR Kyoto Station, staying in Omiya, and going sightseeing in the Arashiyama area the next day🌿⁡
⁡
⁡
First, start from "JR Kyoto Station"⁡
on foot🚶⁡
⁡
⁡
　5 minutes walk⁡
⁡
⁡
📍【Higashi Honganji Temple】⁡
Goei-do Hall is one of the world's largest wooden buildings with a 76m front and is worth seeing❗I recommend checking out the reflection of the fountain in front of the Goei-do Hall gate, but the fountain probably starts at 7am and the reflection will no longer be visible, so if you want to see it, I recommend visiting early in the morning👍️⁡
⁡
⁡
　10 minutes walk⁡
⁡
⁡
📍【Honganji Dendoin Temple】⁡
It is usually closed, but it is open for regular seminars and events such as "TERAKOYA If you participate in the "HONGWANJI" you can tour the inside🍀⁡
Check the schedule on the Nishi Honganji official website🗓️⁡
⁡
⁡
　Just a short walk⁡
⁡
⁡
📍【Main Street】⁡
This street is a great place to walk on when heading from Nishi Honganji to Higashi Honganji, and has a wonderful historical atmosphere🚶⁡
Honganji Dendoin is also on this street💡⁡
⁡
⁡
　2 minutes walk⁡
⁡
⁡
📍【Nishi Honganji】⁡

Opens at 5:30, I recommend visiting in the morning because it's quiet and calm🚶Don't miss the colorful Karamon Gate, a national treasure, and the bell tower on the premises🔔⁡
⁡
⁡
16 minutes walk (or city bus)⁡
⁡
⁡
📍【Maruki Bakery】⁡
A popular shop for fluffy and soft bread💡Enjoy the unique taste of the shop's special seasoning👍️⁡

A new hotel with a large public bath and reasonable accommodation fees🍀There are supermarkets and convenience stores nearby, and the freshly ground coffee is available 24 hours a day☕⁡
