Famous Landmarks
Fushimi Inari
35.0116°N, 135.7681°E
Fushimi Inari-taisha, dedicated to the rice god Inari, is famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates forming a mystical tunnel on Mount Inari. Founded in 711, it is Japan's most visited Shinto shrine. The 4-kilometre trail through the gates offers a unique spiritual experience, especially enchanting at nightfall.
Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion)
35.0116°N, 135.7681°E
Kinkaku-ji, or the Golden Pavilion, is a Zen Buddhist temple whose top two floors are entirely covered in gold leaf. Built in 1397 as a retirement villa for shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, it is majestically reflected in the mirror pond Kyoko-chi. It is one of Japan's most photographed landmarks.
Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
35.0116°N, 135.7681°E
The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is one of Kyoto's most iconic landscapes. The path winds through towering bamboo stalks reaching 20 metres high, creating a natural cathedral of green light. The sound of wind rustling through the bamboo has been listed among Japan's hundred soundscapes to be preserved.

The sky of Kyoto
At 35° north latitude, Kyoto enjoys a sky similar to Tokyo's but with less light pollution on its outskirts. The mountains surrounding the city on three sides create a natural horizon ideal for observation. Autumn and winter nights are the clearest, revealing constellations from the Higashiyama hills.
