Kyoto – 3 Days

From the urban hustle and bustle of Tokyo, escape to the charming delights of Kyoto via the bullet train system to continue your Japan itinerary.

Kyoto is old Japan.

The time stands still among Kyoto’s more than 2000 temples and shrines, age-old teahouses, tranquil Zen gardens and inspiring bamboo forests, and traditionally dressed geishas carrying dainty umbrellas.

We would ideally recommend spending 3 to 4 days in Kyoto to see everything however for time-strapped travelers, 2 days is a great time to experience Kyoto’s highlights.

Things To Do in Kyoto

Kyoto, which was once the imperial capital of Japan, is a perfect introduction to Japanese culture and presents innumerable opportunities to immerse in Japanese culture.

Kyoto has a host of famous temples, including the Fushimi Inari Shrine and Golden Temple.

The city is home to over 2,000 different shrines and museums.

Take an extra day trip from Japan to see the other side of the city, including a visit to the Grand Kyoto Temple of the Murryry.

There are also plenty of cultural events to offer throughout the city to see, such as the Grand Gura and some of Japan’s oldest pagarina temples.

Here are the 5 must have Japanese experiences in Downtown Kyoto and surrounding areas that can be easily covered in two to three days:

Golden Pavilion or Kinkaku-ji

The Golden Pavilion of Kyoto, Kinkaku-ji is one of Japan’s popular sights.

Reconstructed in 1955, the temple with its gold-foil covering is very spectacular.

Visitors cannot enter the temple, however beautiful views of the temple surrounded by the lake can be seen from the garden.

Being one of Kyoto’s top sights, it is always crowded. You can avoid crowds by visiting early in the morning on weekdays.

Fushimi Inari-Taisha

This Shinto shrine is most photographed sight in Kyoto.

The Fushimi Inari shrine was built to honor Inari, the Shinto god of rice and is famous for its endless array of bright orange torii gates.

The shrine is guarded by the many statues of sacred foxes of Inari.

Visiting the Fushimi Inari shrine is not easy.

It requires a 90 min hike up the mountain and we recommend starting early to avoid crowds.

Ginkaku-ji

Ginkaku-ji stands for the silver pavilion however the temple was never actually covered in silver.

This Buddhist temple has a very beautiful Zen garden that looks spectacular especially in spring and in autumn.

The garden has beautiful sand sculptures, small waterfalls, and many other structures and is a great place to unwind.

Nishiki Market

Nishiki Market is a busy, bustling traditional Japnese market selling everything from food to souvenirs.

It is a foodie’s paradise with thousands of unexpected food items to tease the taste buds.

Specialty shops selling varieties of pickles, tofu, and dried fish are fascinating to look at.

The market also has shops selling Japanese knives and other fascinating accessories.

Bamboo Forest Street

The walk through the street lined with bamboo trees is incredibly pleasant.

There are usually lots of people on the hike and it is crowded but walking slowly and letting other people pass is a good way to enjoy the tranquility of the hike.

The view over the river at the end of the hike is impressive.

Gion

Gion is Kyoto’s largest and most famous geisha district. This is a highlight of the Japan itinerary for many visitors.

The district is very picturesque with traditional teahouses lining up the roads and dainty geishas walking to work.

In the evening, Japanese paper lanterns cast flickering shadows and Gion looks even more beautiful in their light.

Gion is full of upscale restaurants serving delicious Japanese food.

Did you know that you can also wear a traditional kimono or dress as a geisha while in Kyoto?

We highly recommend this one of a kind experience.

Visitors can rent a kimono for a day and walk about the charming old town.

Gion is a great place to take a photograph in a traditional kimono.

Alternatively, many shops also offer a geisha costume and makeup to tourists.

Dressing up as a geisha is an incredible way to understand this aspect of the Japanese culture.

Where to stay in Kyoto

We highly recommend staying in a Ryokan during your Kyoto itinerary.

Ryokan’s are present all over Japan, however, there is a special charm in staying in a Ryokan in the heart of Japan’s cultural capital of Kyoto.

For a luxurious stay, you can also try the Four Seasons Kyoto!

Kyoto Hana Hotel is also a wonderful choice in a central location. It is perfect for exploring surrounding Gion by foot.

The Hyatt Regency or the Kyoto Hotel Granvia Kyoto is also popular with tourists.

Century Hotel Kyoto, located right by the main bullet train station, is good for those short on time since it easy to get around the city from here.

Nara – 2 Days

Nara was once the imperial capital of Japan.

Just like Kyoto, Nara is all old Japan and has 8 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Visitors love walking through Nara Park’s moss laden statues, tranquil shrines and friendly deer.

You can easily visit Nara using the JR train.

Things To Do in Nara

Todai-ji

Daibutsu or the Great Buddha statue of Nara, located in the Todai-ji temple, is a magnificent bronze figure.

The statue is over 16 m high and housed in the temple’s Great Buddha Hall.

The original structure of Todai-ji’s Great Buddha Hall was the largest wooden building in the world; the current hall is two-thirds that size.

Nara Park

Nara Park is a tranquil garden with many paths and plenty of friendly deer.

The deer are a special highlight of the park due to their sheer number and willingness to come close to tourists.

The teahouse, interesting garden layout, and sculptures, streams, stepping stones are beautiful to see.

The Yoshikien Garden located next to the Isuien garden is also must see during spring and fall.

Naramachi is a quaint, historic neighborhood with 2 traditional Japanese style merchant houses open for viewing, lots of shops, rustic teahouses, and temples lining the streets.

A walking tour in this area is best started at the visitor center where you will get maps and locations of interesting sites. We highly recommend having tea in one of the traditional teahouses to end your trip.

Osaka – 3 Days

Osaka is Japan’s third largest city after Tokyo and Kyoto.

Not many tourists visit Osaka, which is a shame because this vibrant city has great shopping and is a foodie’s paradise.

We definitely recommend adding Osaka to the 3 week Japan itinerary.

Osaka has many tourist attractions and is a perfect introduction to modern Japan after the charm of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and old Japan in Kyoto.

The Osaka station of the Japan Rail is well connected making it easy to see the city in a short time.

Things to do in Osaka

Osaka is a lively city, both day and night, with places like the city’s entertainment district of Shinsekai.

Grab lunch at Janjan Yokocho Alley, the best place in the city to try kushikatsu, a dish of breaded and deep-fried skewered foods.

It serves as a haunting reminder of the vast destruction caused in a single moment.

We also recommend visiting the dome after dusk to understand the eerie silence and atrocities of world war II.

We definitely recommend getting the JR Pass for travel via Shinkansen.

The Japan Rail Pass is a rail pass that can be purchased by tourists in order to explore the country.
