- Bamboo Forest Street - The Bamboo Forest in Arashiyama is among Japan’s most renowned and iconic landscapes. The view along the bamboo grove path is truly awe-inspiring. As a top photography destination in Kyoto over the years, the Bamboo Forest can become quite crowded during the day. For those seeking photos of an empty path, visiting early in the morning is advisable.
- Kiyomizudera Temple - Kiyomizudera stands as one of Kyoto’s most magnificent temples. Conveniently situated amidst scenic greenery, the temple offers another remarkable experience from its expansive open-air wooden terrace, providing a splendid view of Kyoto in all its splendor.
Kyoto Localized provides a complimentary walking tour in Kyoto, where English-speaking local guides will take visitors to Kiyomizudera and several other city landmarks.
- Yasaka Shrine - Yasaka Pagoda, a 5-story, 46-meter structure, is one of Kyoto’s most iconic sites, located within the former Buddhist Hokanji Temple in Higashiyama. It’s hard to miss Yasaka Pagoda while exploring Gion and Higashiyama. Any spot offering a view of Yasaka Pagoda is perfect for an Instagram photo.
- Gion - The Gion District in Kyoto is renowned as the home of Geisha and Maiko girls, having developed as the city’s entertainment hub over the years. Gion is also celebrated for its beautifully preserved historical streetscape with traditional wooden merchant houses. A visit is highly recommended both day and night, as the area is bustling during the day and offers a quieter, dimly lit atmosphere at night.
- Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine - Naturally, this roundup wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Fushimi Inari Shrine — one of Kyoto’s most Instagrammed locations. This iconic Shinto shrine boasts over 1,000 vermillion torii gates, a sight frequently seen on Instagram.
- Kennin-ji Temple - Kenninji Temple (建仁寺), located near the lively Hanamikoji and Shijo streets, offers expansive and pleasant grounds for a stroll. The two karesansui (dry landscape gardens) provide visitors with a tranquil oasis. It is considered the oldest Zen temple in Kyoto.
- Byodoin Temple - Byodoin Temple (平等院) is famed for its Phoenix Hall, a National Treasure of Japan and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in Uji city in Kyoto prefecture, additional travel time is necessary.
