Kodaiji Temple
At the foot of Mt. Higashiyama, Kyoto, northeast of Hokanji Temple known for Yasaka Pagoda, there is a zen temple. After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, his wife Nene (Kita-no-Mandokoro) moved from Osaka to Kyoto and retired into religion.
The nighttime illumination event at Kodaiji Temple is really popular, especially in autumn and winter. When the garden is lit up, the scenery becomes even more magical and enchanting.

Yojiya Kiyomizu Sannenzaka Store
Step into Yojiya, a cosmetics store famous for selling the quintessential Kyoto souvenir "aburatorigami" (oil blotting paper), that founded in 1904. Initially, the store sold stage makeup items such as lipstick and face powder, as well as toothbrushes. Today, Yojiya has evolved into a skincare brand offering a full range to shop.
The shop's design is very elegant and full of traditional Japanese style. It really gives you a strong Kyoto vibe.

Tono Furusato Mura Village
This tourist facility recreates an old-fashioned Tono mountain village. A stream flows through the village, and fields and charcoal-making huts provide a glimpse of Tono in the past. Magariya, a thatched-roof house (an L-shaped house in which the main house and stable are integrated) built between the mid-Edo and mid-Meiji periods, has been relocated and can be seen as it was in its original form.
A retro, nostalgic house with adorable horses.
