Famous for approximately 10,000 vermillion torii gates winding up Mt. Inari. Open 24 hours; the mystical early-morning atmosphere is unforgettable.
The three-storied golden pavilion reflected in the Mirror Pond is world-famous. A UNESCO World Heritage Site that should not be missed.
The wooden stage of Kiyomizu-dera offers sweeping city views. The cobblestone lanes of Ninen-zaka and Sannen-zaka are quintessential Kyoto.
The ethereal bamboo path is world-famous. Nearby Togetsu-kyo Bridge and Tenryu-ji garden make Arashiyama a perfect half-day destination.

Spring (March–April) for cherry blossoms and autumn (November) for fall foliage are unmissable. Arashiyama, Tofuku-ji, and Eikan-do are the best spots for fall color.
