Activity itinerary

Kiyomizu-dera Temple

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
At Kiyomizu-dera, you can enjoy beautiful views from the famous wooden stage, learn about Japan’s spiritual traditions, draw an omikuji fortune slip, and experience how to pray at a temple. It’s also a great place to take memorable photos of Kyoto’s historic charm.

Yasaka Koshin-Do

  • 30m
Yasaka Koshin-do is a small but colourful temple famous for its “kukurizaru” – bright cloth charms that represent personal desires. Visitors can write their wish on a charm and hang it up to show their commitment to letting go of that desire. It’s a popular photo spot and a great place to experience a unique part of Kyoto’s spiritual culture.

Hōkan-ji Temple (Yasaka Pagoda)

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Yasaka Pagoda, also known as Hokan-ji Temple, is a five-story wooden pagoda and one of Kyoto’s most recognisable symbols. It stands gracefully among traditional houses and narrow stone-paved streets. While the inside is not always open to the public, the view from the outside is perfect for photos and gives you a true sense of old Kyoto.

Yasaka Shrine

  • 1h
Yasaka Shrine is a major Shinto shrine located at the edge of the Gion district. Known for its striking red gate and rows of lanterns, it’s a popular place for both spiritual practice and sightseeing. Visitors can learn how to properly pray at a shrine, draw an omikuji fortune, and enjoy the calm, sacred atmosphere.
