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.

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!

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.

Kuzuryu Shrine Hongu
A sacred site of dragon deity worship that preserves the legend of the nine-headed dragon of Lake Ashi. Founded as an auxiliary shrine of Hakone Shrine, known as the guardian shrine of the Kanto region, it stands amid the lush greenery of Hakone Kuzuryu-no-Mori on the shore of Lake Ashi. The shrine is renowned for blessings of financial fortune, good luck, and business prosperity, and in recent years has become particularly popular as a shrine for matchmaking.
The purification fountain at Kuzuryu Shrine is really unique—there are actually nine dragons on top of it!
