On the 21st of every month, there's a market during the temple's regular ceremony. You can find food, clothes, and all sorts of things—it's a lot of fun! Plus, it's just a little over a ten-minute walk from Kyoto Station.

Deai Bridge
Deai Bridge is a 107-meter-long suspension bridge that leads to the Shirakawa-go gassho-zukuri village, a registered World Heritage site. The bridge connects the convenient public parking area, 'Village-Operated Sesaragi Park Parking Lot', to the village, and crossing the bridge brings you to the entrance of the village.
It feels like walking into a fairy tale. It’s a tiny village, and all the houses are so cute.
The steep, tall gassho-style roofs are really distinctive. Seeing it for the first time, I couldn’t stop taking photos. -

Kyoto Railway museum
Since the opening of Umekoji Steam Locomotive Museum in 1972, it had been dubbed SL’s mecca. Then, it was remodeled into the Kyoto Railway Museum in 2016. Under their fundamental concept, “the hub of railway culture that progresses with its community,” you can learn railway history, safety and technology through amazing hands-on experience.
Visitors can ride a steam train here and really feel the charm of old-school railways.
