@tinas_travel_diaries: If you’re looking for places in Kyoto beyond the usual tourist route, try these 3 spots. They are a good alternatives from places like Kiyomizu-dera, Fushimi Inari, or central Arashiyama. I wouldn’t call them hidden gems, but they’re still worth visiting and each has a very different atmosphere. My personal favorite was Uji, because it was very quiet and relaxed and has a lot to offer. But the other two are also worth going to. Kifune 📌 Mountain village in northern Kyoto known for Kifune Shrine and riverside restaurants 📌 Access: Eizan Railway to Kibuneguchi Station, then Kyoto Bus 33 to Kibune; around 35 min from Demachiyanagi Uji 📌 Famous for green tea, Byodo-in Temple, Uji River, and traditional tea shops 📌 Access: Around 20–30 min from Kyoto Station by JR Nara Line; Byodo-in is about 10 min on foot from JR Uji Station Otagi Nenbutsuji 📌 Temple in northern Arashiyama known for more than 1,000 individual stone rakan statues 📌 Access: Around 25 min by bus from central Arashiyama / about 5 min by taxi from JR Saga-Arashiyama Station; entrance ¥1,000 Which of these would you add to your Kyoto itinerary? Save this post for your next trip to Japan. 🇯🇵 #japan #tokyo #japantrip #japantravel #traveljapan
