Explore Kyoto

The old capital, Kyoto is on many a travel list for good reason. Let us do your planning, and you do the sightseeing, with our 1-day Kyoto itinerary.

8AM: Start your day early and avoid the crowds at the iconic Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. This ancient Shinto shrine is one of the most important religious sites dedicated to Inari, the deity of business prosperity and industries, household and traffic safety and advancement in the performing arts.

10AM: Go for a stroll around Hokan-ji Temple, a 5-story pagoda in the charming Higashiyama District. Wander the nearby cobblestone streets of Ichinenzaka, Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka to soak in the atmosphere of a bygone era.

12PM: With all this sightseeing, you’ll likely be hungry. Head to the lively Nishiki Market, also known as ‘Kyoto's Kitchen’. With over 100 stalls lining the undercover market, you’re bound to find a bite to eat.

2PM: From Nishiki Market, make your way to Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, one of Kyoto's most well-known sights. It is located in western Kyoto, and is easily accessible by train. Be one with nature and breathe in the fresh air of the bamboo forest, you won't regret it!

6PM: By this time, you will have worked up an appetite again. Head to the popular Kiyamichi Street, which runs next to the Kamogawa River. This is one of Kyoto’s liveliest night destinations, so your opportunities are endless.
