I’ve loved reading "Kochikame" ever since I was little, so actually visiting this place felt really special. Seeing the character statues and the police box here honestly makes you wonder whether Kankichi Ryotsu might really exist 😂
If you’re a Kochikame fan, I definitely recommend stopping by!

Kyoto Tower (Nidec The Kyoto Tower)
It is located right in front of Kyoto Station. It was designed in the shape of a lighthouse to illuminate Kyoto, and is the tallest building in Kyoto at 131 meters. It has been visited by over 32 million people since it opened in 1964.
Kyoto Station is a place every traveler to Kyoto should visit or at least pass through. I recommend adding this to your itinerary and stopping by in the evening to look around!

Sagano Bamboo Grove Trail
The delightful scenery attracted noble families and poets who built their homes in Sagano. Sagano bamboo trail spans about 400m (437 yards) from Nonomiya Shrine, via Tenryuji Temple’s north gate to Okochi Sanso cottage.
The natural scenery here is absolutely beautiful. Being here, you can truly feel the amazing power of nature.
I definitely recommend stopping by the “Rilakkuma Store” and taking a photo with Rilakkuma! -

Miyama Kayabuki no Sato
Miyama, Nantan City in Kyoto Prefecture, is home to a gathering of rare thatched-roof houses. The northern settlement is especially known for its preserved 39 thatched-roof houses, designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, beloved to this day as a nostalgic landscape of Japan that melts against the backdrop of picture-perfect seasons.
I’d always wanted to see what a thatched-roof village in Japan looks like, so I’m really thankful I could join a one-day tour. It made it possible for independent travelers to come here and see the beauty of this village for themselves 🤩
I definitely recommend buying the Miyama flower-shaped cookies while you’re here. They’re seriously so delicious 👍🏻 -
