Song-like Travel Japan Trip·The Most Classic Route in Kyoto|One-Day Tour Guide

Spring is here, looking out from the horizon. Looking out from the horizon, the spring is here. The peach-colored wind is shining. The breeze is swaying the peach-colored flowers. The mountains seen from afar are smiling. From afar, the mountains are smiling. The beautiful voices of birds herald the arrival of spring. The birds sing the arrival of spring. This country is where flowers love spring. This country is where flowers love spring. This country is where flowers love spring. 🎶A classic and beautiful Japanese song "Flower Banquet" kicks off a romantic trip to Japan. Here is a guide to a one-day tour of Kyoto's most classic route! 🔷🔷🔷My Kyoto one-day tour guide: 🚗Transportation: Take JR from Osaka to Kyoto Station in half an hour 🏨Accommodation: Yamato Roynet Select Hotel - Kyoto Hachijo TERRACE 5 minutes walk from Kyoto Station 🗺️Kyoto one-day tour itinerary: ⏰Morning - Tofukuji Temple (one stop from Kyoto Station by JR) 🕐Afternoon - Kiyomizu Temple - Ninenzaka Sannenzaka - Kodaiji Temple (the distance between the two attractions is about 15 minutes walk) 💎Attractions: 📍Tofukuji Temple: Every season has its own unique beauty! The cherry blossom and maple leaf seasons are particularly outstanding. During the maple leaf season, you can see the maple leaves of the entire courtyard from its sky bridge, which is really amazing! Its Abbot's Courtyard is also not to be missed. It is most famous for being surrounded by eight themed courtyards in the east, south, west and north, with a different view on each side. 📍 Kiyomizu Temple: A must-see attraction in Kyoto! It is also the oldest temple in Kyoto and a world cultural heritage site. The red triple-story tower is its most symbolic building. Walking further in is the "Kishimizu Stage", the same check-in spot as Conan. You can overlook the stage and see the entire area in red during the maple leaf season, which is very beautiful! 📍Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka: the most famous commercial street in Kyoto. The whole street is made up of ancient Japanese buildings. Each store has its own characteristics. You can shop and eat all the way! 📍Kodaiji Temple: Although it is very close to Kiyomizu Temple, it is far less popular than Kiyomizu Temple, but it is very beautiful during the cherry blossom and maple leaf season every year! There are few people here, which is very suitable for taking photos. During the maple leaf season, there is also a night light show, which is very unique! 📌Tips: 1️⃣Before entering Tofukuji Temple, don’t miss the Wakuun Bridge, which overlooks Tofukuji Temple opposite and is very suitable for taking photos! Every year during the maple season, you need to queue for one to half an hour to enter the Tsutenkaku Bridge in Tofukuji Temple, so you need to leave more time. 2️⃣ There are many restaurants and specialties available for purchase in Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka. You can choose lunch here, and there is also a very unique Starbucks with Japanese architectural style to check in!

Kiyomizu-dera Temple

Kiyomizu-dera Temple (きよみずでら) is one of the most representative temples in Kyoto, Japan, and is also part of the World Cultural Heritage "Cultural Properties of Ancient Kyoto". It not only has spectacular architecture and natural scenery, but also combines history, faith and culture, making it well worth a visit. Transportation: Take a bus from Kyoto Station to Gojozaka or Kiyomizu-michi, then walk for about 10 to 15 minutes (there are busy shopping streets along the way). Tips: There are fewer people in the morning, so it is more comfortable to take pictures. The snow scenery is also beautiful in winter, but be careful of the slippery roads. Kiyomizu-dera Temple has undergone renovations in recent years (partially completed), making the building more beautiful. In addition to temples, food is definitely the highlight of your trip to Kyoto! Here are some recommended restaurants near Kiyomizu Temple or in the Higashiyama area, so you can have something delicious to reward yourself after your hike: ⸻ 1. Yatsu Bridge (やつはし) • Type: Traditional Kyoto confectionery • Recommended reason: There are many Yatsubashi specialty stores on Shimizuzaka and Sannenzaka where you can try the food. There are two versions: raw Yatsubashi (like mochi) and baked. • Flavors: Classic cinnamon, matcha, strawberry, seasonal flavors ⸻ 2. Akoya Tea House (あこやちゃや) • Type: Japanese all-you-can-eat snack • Features: Serving all-you-can-eat traditional Kyoto home-cooked meals and white rice (plus pickles and soup) in an antique setting. • Recommended for: People who have been walking all day and want to sit down and have a good meal ⸻ 4. % ARABICA Kyoto Higashiyama Store • Type: Cafe • Reason for recommendation: A pilgrimage site for internet celebrities, with excellent coffee quality. Special latte art + Kyoto old street scenery, looks good no matter how you take pictures. • Location: Near Yasaka Pagoda, a good place to take a break during a walk ⸻ 6. Nishiki Market (a little further away, but totally worth it) • A little far from Kiyomizu-dera Temple, but you can take a bus there • It is the "kitchen" of Kyoto, with many snacks: fried skewers, soy milk donuts, octopus balls, matcha crepes...
