Things to do in Kyoto, Kinki: The Best Historic Sites
The shrines and temples of Kyoto offer a rare link between modern life in the city and its very ancient past. The Shimogamo Shrine dates to the 6th century and seems suspended in time, its serenity and spiritual power still palpable. Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine, then see the life-sized Thousand Armed Kannon statues of Sanjūsangen-dō. Enjoy traditional geisha performances, then savor a tranquil meal at a restaurant overlooking the Kamo River.

This temple was a good stop in between the overly touristy temples to get a feel for what an active, in-use piece of history and culture is like. There was a very large number of people seeking good grades from the enshrined deity. Also open in the autumn was a large and lovely maple garden for everyone to get their fill of autumn colors.
