Where to stay


What to see

Gion district

The best-known geisha district in all of Japan.

 

Fushimi Inari-taisha

This big shrine is located beautifully at the base of Inari mountain.

 

Otani Hombyo

A temple and great cemetery with thousands of tomb stones.

 

Arashiyama Bamboo Grove

It's just a path leading through a bamboo grove but it is a magic place.

 

Short trip to Osaka

Just half an hour away by train you will find Osaka. Beside the Universal Studios Japan and the cute Gudetama Cafe it is home of Dotonbori, Osaka's eccentric entertainment area.
