The purification fountain at Kuzuryu Shrine is really unique—there are actually nine dragons on top of it!

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.
It looks just like a candle lighting up the night!

Otowa-san Kiyomizu-dera Temple
Founded in 778, Kiyomizu-dera Temple was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994. Its 130,000-square-meter (about 1.4-million-square-foot) grounds extend across the slopes of Mt. Otowa and contain more than 30 temple buildings and monuments, including National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties. The temple is also worth seeing throughout the seasons, framed by cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, colorful leaves in autumn, and snow in winter.
I happened to run into a group of Japanese students on a school trip. The whole Kiyomizuzaka area was packed with students. Every single one of them was super polite and well-behaved. You can really see how Japanese people learn to follow the rules from a young age.

Yobuko Morning Market
Yobuko has long been known as one of the important port towns in Japan. The Yobuko morning market has been in operation since the Taisho period and is one of Japan’s three major morning markets, along with Wajima in Ishikawa Prefecture and Takayama in Gifu Prefecture.
This market has a real local vibe. Most of the vendors are older folks from the area. It's mainly dried seafood, and the prices at each stall are pretty similar.
