What to do and see in Shinkyogoku Shopping District, Kinki: The Best Sights & Landmarks
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.

A very nice place if you want to experience what it feels like to be at local Japanese market that is filled of all different kinds of street food, handcraft items, snacks etc. the market is quite huge that you won’t get it full explored with at least two to three hours, especially if you wanted to try street food at different stands, I would recommend to spare at least half day to have a general discover at this fun place! Try to avoid packed foreigners and big lineup, get there as early as possible!

This small shrine in the shopping district of Kyoto is hard to miss if you're on the shopping trail. It is a very nicely maintained small shrine just of Shinkyogoku.

If you happen to walk through the shopping arcade one can find a quiet moment in front of a large Buddha. Take shoes off and walk up a few steps to the Buddha hall. No entrance fee hardly anybody is there very quiet. If you enjoy the quiet moment one can donate 100yen or 1 $. into the a large wooden box center of the hall as always Japanese people do.
