Kyoto – a City of Eternity, Modern, and Contrasts 

Kyoto is an ancient and breathtaking place that saves the history of Japan even nowadays. Its stunning temples and other cultural sightseeing, often recognized as the UNESCO world heritage, are the ones to gaze at forever. This city has lots of modern places and lush green gardens at the same time. Among all of the attractions available here, there are several spots to offer in the first turn for your Kyoto walking tours.

 

Spots to See in Kyoto 

If you wish to look at truly remarkable places in Kyoto, start with these ones first:

 

Kiyomizu-dera 

This gorgeous place is located on a hillside and offers truly breathtaking views of the city. This wooden temple is also surrounded by cherry and maple trees. The latter ones are particularly amazing during the spring and autumn seasons. It's only a 20-minute walk needed to reach it from the city center. The standard ticket will cost you around $3. Please note that all tickets are actually sold in the Japanese national currency – yen. 

 

Nijo Castle 

This is the UNESCO World Heritage site which is the former residence of the Shogun. Apart from its great historical significance, there are plenty of marvelous gardens there. You can see their intricate interiors and the famous “nightingale floors”. Only a 20-minute walk is needed from the city center to reach this place. The standard ticket will cost you around $9.

 

Sanjusangendo Temple 

This temple is famous for its 1,001 statues of Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy. This is an impressive temple that guarantees breathtaking views. It is located only within a 15-minute walk from the city center. The standard ticket will cost you around $4.

 

Gion District 

If you decide to visit Kyoto, find time to see those spots since this is a well-known geisha district. You can admire there the traditional machiya houses and tea houses. This will be a small but charming journey to the past. It will take only 15 minutes on foot from the city center. It is free to enter this district. However, it is possible to book a guided tour to find out more about this place.

 

Nishiki Market 

This stunning place is frequently referred to as "Kyoto's Kitchen". This is a truly bustling place where tourists can taste various local delicacies and traditional snacks. You can also find there lots of fresh products, including fish. This gorgeous place is reachable from the city center only within a 10-minute walk. There is no entry fee but this place creates true risks for one's pocket. There are lots of tasty things here but all of them are worth the money spent on them.

Enjoy these and many other marvelous places during your free tours in Kyoto.

 

Practical Tips Helping to Arrange Your Future Tour Better

Taking into account the location of Japan, the single way to reach it when it comes to long-haul travel is by air. Still, do note that there's no airport in Kyoto. The closest one is Kansai International Airport (KIX) in Osaka. It is located 75 km away from Kyoto. You can take the JR Haruka Express to Kyoto Station which is located in the city centre. This small journey will take around 1 hour and will cost you approximately $9.
