An unspoiled historical alley lined with tasteful, traditional wooden houses that invokes a feeling of Good ol’ Kyoto — Ninenzaka slope is perfect for a culture walk in Japan. Located in Gion district, this charming stone-paved pedestrian road is also an approach to the famous Kiyomizu-dera Temple. These gentle, narrow sloping road is surrounded with Japanese traditional wooden storefronts, shops, and teahouses. One of the most interesting stores here is the world’s first tatami-style Starbucks that’s located inside a 100-year old traditional Japanese townhouse along the historic Ninenzaka street. You can see that every effort has been taken to retain much of the original structure. If you’re into traditional Japanese culture, there are also some shops that offer tea ceremony experience and even a Geisha makeover! 🇯🇵 #maydaytrip #urbanexplorer

Fushimi Inari Taisha is the most important of thousands of shrines dedicated to Inari, the Shinto God of rice. Foxes are thought to be Inari’s messengers, resulting in many fox statues across the shrine grounds, as well as fox souvenirs and snacks! ⛩🦊 Located in Kyoto, this shrine is famous for its thousands of closely-spaced vermillion torii gates, which straddle a network of trails leading into the wooded forest of the sacred Mount Inari. If you’re planning to visit, it’s recommended to arrive as early as possible to beat the crowds. The hike all the way to the top can be tiring, but it’s definitely worth it. Just don’t forget to wear comfy shoes and bring a bottle of water with you! #maydaytrip #urbanexplorer

Japan trip in Kyoto Visiting one of the world heritage sites called “Byodoin” in Kyoto, Japan. The collaboration of the red from the gorgeous ancient building and the blue from sky is superb. There are many more historical temples and shrines around Kyoto which are so distinctive to one another. Come and discover them with your own eyes someday😊 #japan #historicallandmarks #autumn #unforgettableexperiences#historicculture

#wintergetaway. Kyoto, Japan. Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavillion). A temple said to be covered in gold is a breathtaking landmark in Kyoto. Just try hard to find a great spot to catch a nice shot because the heavy number of tourists will make it hard for you to snap a photo without anybody blocking the view! #holidayvacation#tripinspired
