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 👍🏻 -

Tokyo Tower
Tokyo Tower was born in 1958. When it was built, Tokyo Tower proudly stood out as the tallest steel tower in the world. At a height of 33 meters, it was taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It is located in Minato Ward in the center of Tokyo. Take in sweeping views of the city from the observation deck. Currently under renovation, it is always changing.
Tokyo Tower 🗼 is one of Tokyo’s famous landmarks. When you come here, don’t just take photos with it—make sure to leave some time to go inside, walk around, and do a little treasure hunting too!
For this photo spot, I recommend coming around 7:00 a.m. You won’t have to wait in line at all 〜 -
