Kyoto Trip Guide: Shrines, Nature, Food & More!

Save this guide for your next trip to Kyoto in Japan!

📍 Arashiyama Bamboo Forest ~ take the metro 30 minutes to the West of Kyoto to Arashiyama. Arrive early to avoid the crowds in this peaceful forest.

📍 Kiyomizu-dera ~ potentially the most iconic shrine and temple in the city. With vibrant vermilion buildings and a beautiful view of the city, this shrine and the surrounding area is usually very busy.

📍 Nishiki Market ~ a long path that runs through the city, perfect for a rainy day. Here you can find freshly caught fish, bustling local restaurants and many souvenir shops.

📍 Engine Ramen ~ maybe I'm biased, but this is the best ramen I've ever eaten in my life. I went here more than 10 times during my stay in Kyoto and I think about it every day since I left.

📍 To-ji ~ this shrine has a tall wooden pagoda and can be seen from the paths nearby. Just a short walk down the hill from Kiyomizu-dera, be sure to take many photos of this incredible piece of history!
