Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 7,276 reviews
The most famous neighborhood in Kyoto is also known as the Geisha district. It is here, among the tea houses and private clubs, that you can catch a glimpse of a geisha in full dress including white makeup.

We stayed in a Ryokan in Gion n we could not be more satisfied. It is close enough to the center of the city n near Kiyomizdera, as well as many attractions such as ninenzaka, sannenzaka. Even with so many attractions near by, the streets were very quiet and clean. At night, it is very safe to walk around and I am so glad that I stayed here rather than near the busy streets or the station because Gion is close enough to bus stops, subway stops, n shopping areas.
2. Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine

This shrine is one of many located throughout Japan that was built to honor Inari, the Shinto god of rice.
Reviewed By Cholo_Juan - Nathalia, Australia
Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine is a must do for visitors to Kyoto to walk upward ever upward via the winding path through hundreds of Tori gates is an amazing experience, stopping along the way to take in the prayer stations some with dozens if not hundreds of small tori placed as votive offerings. We arrived late in the afternoon and had to almost sprint up the hill as the evening darkness closed in on us, but then the lights come on giving the pathway a surreal air as the light casts its shadows through the Tori Gates. It is an arduous walk so make sure you are fit and have good walking shoes but well worth the effort

Application in advance is highly recommended. ------------------------------------------------------------------- This beautiful home belonged to members of the Katsura family, one of the Imperial families of Japan. The home displays some very traditional Japanese architecture and landscape design.

Lovely garden; recommend taking the English language tour(there are several every day) and also recommend applying on line before visiting to make sure you get a place on the tour. Tour was informative, and the gardens are beautiful. Took city bus from Kyoto station, which supplied good information regarding the proper bus stop to exit. And the villa is a short walk from the bus stop.

Arashiyama is a small town on the Oi River. Its moon-crossing bridge, Togetsu-kyo, is a beautiful, much-beloved wooden structure. Arishiyama also has Tenryu-ji temple, one of the 14 World Heritage Sites in Kyoto.

A great day trip from Yokohama.... great setting - lush mountain backdrops - from bamboo forest, to great little food stalls and really nice cherry blossom and bamboo soft ice cream on a warm day.

Went on a cloudy day with light drizzle. Spent about an hour walking around the area. There is a chair lift and monorail to bring passengers up the mountain to see the view. You need to bend between your leg for an unique view.. a small amusement park at the top of the mountain. Would like to have spent more time rent a bicycle to ride along the pine trees...
6. Ine no Funaya

Reviewed By JavierMariam_3
The historic wooden boat houses/funayas are amazing to view from Ine bay via tour boat! Also, @ the information center in town, a 2000 yen deposit allows you to rent a bike to easily ride the street & venture out ... once done riding, your 2000 yen is returned. Our lodging was located across from the fish market. On Sunday, our lodging host joined us @ 0600 to watch the fishing boats unload their catches of the day & she gave us a tour. Having no nightlife there was ok with us. No convenience stores or grocery stores close by so we planned ahead & brought our food to cook. Not many restaurants were open due to COVID but we made the best of it. Truly a gorgeous area to explore! Low key & great for relaxing.
7. Sannenzaka Ninenzaka
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,234 reviews
Reviewed By YTCHENG - Hong Kong, China
After visiting the famous temple uphill, it was highly suggested to take an hour's walk along Sannenzaka Ninenzaka. It was a slanting pathway of stone-steps with traditional Japanese houses on both sides and being converted as souvenir and snack shops. It was normally crowded with visitors and difficult to move along easily. For photo-lovers, the place was good for snapshooting with so many backdrops for your choice. Have a nice day there.
