  • Arashiyama
    Travel / Tourism
    Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto City Ukyo-ku Arashiyama
    One of Kyoto’s leading tourist attractions, this 381.5-meter-high mountain and its environs have been designated as a National Historic Place of Beauty. On the mountain are the Iwatayama Monkey Park and Horinji Temple. Widely known as a spot for seeing cherry blossoms and changing autumn leaves, the scenery combining the Katsuragawa River to Togetsukyo Bridge is often used as a motif on picture postcards and pamphlets. Popular activities include walking the “bamboo forest road” from Tenryuji Temple or going around temples or shrines, a railcar ride to Kameoka, of the “Hozugawa-kudari” (Hozugawa river boat ride) pleasure cruise ride down the river to Arashiyama.

    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Kamigyou-ku Kyoutogyoen 23
    As a place for hosting guests from around the world, this national guesthouse, located in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City has on its expansive grounds multiple Japanese style buildings distinctively designed with the Kyoto flavor. Naturally, the complex has well-appointed banquet halls, sleeping accommodations and courts. The guesthouse is open for guided tours to the public for a fee and is popular with tourists.

    Are you looking for something interesting, beautiful and a bit different, that not everyone does when visiting Kyoto? Then I recommend making a reservation for a guided tour of the State Guest House...

  • Suirokaku (near Nanzenji Temple)
    Travel / Tourism
    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Sakyou-ku Nanzenjifukuchichou
    Suirokaku is bridge over a canal in Kyoto's Sakyo Ward. It is made of brick and built with arches, a design that calls to mind the art objects of ancient Rome. Located on a branch of a canal coming out of Lake Biwa, it was completed in 1888. It was built with special consideration for blending into the surrounding scenery, even as the canal flows through the grounds of Nanzenji Temple. The bridge has been used as a location for television dramas.

    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Kita-ku Murasakinodaitokujicho 82

    The temple itself is nothing special and certainly not photogenic. It has 5 rock gardens, none of which I found very special after seeing the ones at the back of the Daitokuji. Can be missed as far...

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
