How far have you been? ✨ Kyoto Suburb Travel Guide ✨

#TravelGuide

While exploring Kyoto alone is wonderful,
we also recommend spending a day exploring the nearby cities! 🚃
You can experience a completely different charm with just a short trip. 🌿

🍃 Otsu (大津) – The City of Lake Biwa
• Just 15 minutes from Kyoto by JR!
• The expansive views of Lake Biwa, Japan's largest lake, are breathtaking.
• Lakeside cafes, cruises, and Hieizan Enryakuji Temple are all nearby, making them a great combination.

🍵 Uji (宇治) – The Land of Matcha
• About 30 minutes from Kyoto by JR!
• Byodo-in Temple, the temple with the building on the 10 yen coin 🪷
• Matcha dessert cafes line every alley, and a stroll along the Uji River is highly recommended!
• Perfect for a half-day trip to a small town.

🦌 Nara (奈良) – The City of Deer
• Approximately 45 minutes by JR from Kyoto Station 🚆
• Walk with deer at Nara Deer Park,
• The magnificent Todaiji Great Buddha Hall is a must-see landmark.
• Enjoy a more rustic and relaxed atmosphere than Kyoto.

📌 In summary:
• For a panoramic view of the lake → Otsu
• For the scent of green tea and a tranquil stroll → Uji
• For a charming deer and historical exploration → Nara

👉 If you're staying in Kyoto for a while,

be sure to add these three places to your itinerary!
