The Kansai region of Japan is the cradle of Japanese culture and history. Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka are all conveniently located for a day trip, allowing you to unlock your dream trip!
- Kiyomizu Temple, built in 778 AD, is not only the oldest temple in Kyoto, but also a national treasure of Japan. Here, you can pray for your family and immerse yourself in the solemn and majestic shrine culture of Japan.
- There are more than 3,000 Yasaka Shrines across Japan, and the one in Kyoto is the head shrine of Yasaka Shrine. The Gion Festival of the head shrine of Yasaka Shrine is one of the largest festivals in Japan and one of the most popular shrines in Kyoto.
- Todaiji Temple, also known as the Great Kegon Temple, has a history of more than 1,200 years and is the largest wooden building in the world. Todaiji Temple and its 15-meter-high gilded Vairocana Buddha statue in the Great Buddha Hall are listed as national treasures of Japan.
- Fushimi Inari Taisha is the head shrine of Japan's Inari Shrine. It has a high status and a long history. Its endless "Thousand Torii Gates" are world-famous.
- In Nara Park, the deer that roam freely and are not afraid of strangers are a major feature of Nara. In Japanese mythology, Nara deer are regarded as "messengers of God" and are listed as national treasures of Japan.
Kiyomizu-dera Temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist attraction in Kyoto. Founded in 778, it is Kyoto's oldest temple and a National Treasure of Japan. Jishu Shrine, located north of the main hall of Kiyomizu-dera, is a shrine in Japan where people pray for good fortune in love and marriage.
【Nine-zaka and Sannenzaka】Located outside Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka are slopes with a unique Kyoto charm and are listed as a "Preservation District for Important Traditional Buildings" in Japan. The stone slopes are lined with old-fashioned Japanese buildings, exuding a strong Japanese atmosphere, and offering a dazzling array of handicrafts such as various delicacies, paper fans, dolls, and chopsticks.
【Ishibei Koji】Turn right at the end of Ninenzaka and continue walking north. You will see Ishibei Koji. There are fewer tourists here. Elegant traditional Japanese houses are located on both sides of a cobblestone path, making you feel like you have stepped back in time, away from the hustle and bustle, and returned to tranquility.
【Gion Hanamikoji Street】A famous and ancient geisha district. In the 1960s, Kyoto had nearly a thousand geisha, and even today, dozens of geisha instructors still provide training in traditional tea ceremony, flower arrangement, koto (Japanese zither), gagaku (court music), kyogen (Kyoto opera), maiko (maiko), and bunraku (Bungaku). Walking into the geisha district, a sense of antiquity washes over you: rows of exquisitely designed teahouses stand on both sides, their wooden lattice windows tightly shut… This is a mysterious alleyway running north to south, about 1 kilometer long. The northern section is modern, while the southern section is traditional; each has its own unique charm and allure.
【Yasaka Shrine】Located in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, Yasaka Shrine is one of the most famous and oldest shrines in the Kansai region. There are dedicated areas for drawing fortune slips, writing ema (votive plaques), and purchasing amulets. The ema designs are very diverse, with heart-shaped ema for those seeking love being particularly popular.
Fushimi Inari Shrine is world-renowned for its "Senbon Torii" (thousands of torii gates) depicted in the image, attracting countless domestic and international tourists every year. For three consecutive years, it has been ranked number one among the "most popular Japanese tourist destinations for foreigners" in a survey conducted by the world's largest travel website. Let's pray for ourselves and our beloved families here. In addition, the ema (votive plaques) at Fushimi Inari Shrine are also unique, shaped like white foxes, allowing you to doodle all sorts of funny expressions.
Nara Park is an urban park located at the foot of Mount Wakakusa in Nara City. It's home to Nara's famous historical sites such as Todai-ji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine, making it a must-see for visitors. Mount Wakakusa, situated near the park, offers stunning panoramic views of Nara and hosts traditional events like the "Wakakusa Burning Mountain" festival every January. A leisurely stroll through the park is the best way to experience it. It's also home to the largest concentration of deer, and feeding the adorable fawns is a major attraction. The deer here are quite intelligent; they will approach visitors with deer crackers, so be careful—they might pounce on you in groups!
Todai-ji Temple, also known as Daikegon-ji, was built in 752 by Emperor Shomu to enshrine a great Buddha statue and serve as the head temple of the Kegon sect of Buddhism in Japan. The temple was destroyed by fire twice, and the current structure was rebuilt in 1692, representing two-thirds of the original. The main Buddha Hall of Todai-ji is 57 meters wide and 50 meters deep, making it the world's largest wooden structure. Inside the main Buddha Hall is a 15-meter-tall statue of the Great Buddha of Roshan. Other buildings within the Todai-ji complex include the Nandaimon Gate, Nigatsu-do Hall, and Sangatsu-do Hall.
