Kyoto continues to become increasingly crowded these days. Nevertheless, Kyoto remains THE best place to visit in Japan for cultural insight. There are far too many “must-sees” in the city for a first-time traveller to consider missing it. Luckily, many of the major attractions are scattered along the eastern valley wall. As a starting point, consider checking out Gion for rare Geisha sightings and then visiting Kiyomizu-dera temple.
Additionally, while technically considered “Southern Kyoto,” you also cannot afford to miss the legendary Fushimi Inari Taisha. This Shinto shrine has become iconic of Kyoto in recent years and chances are you’ve already seen its thousand torii gates plastered across your Insta feed. Be sure to go early in the morning to avoid the crowds.
