One of the most famous temples in Kyoto. Standing on the Kiyomizu Stage, you get a great view of the city. The stage is built with 139 solid wooden pillars and not a single nail—such impressive craftsmanship has been perfectly preserved.

Tempura really tastes best when it's made with fresh ingredients. The rich aroma of sesame oil makes it even more delicious—it's the perfect combo!

When we went to the cafe, it was a holiday and the line was super long, so we decided not to wait. Instead, we bought their signature Hanatsubaki cookies from another floor to take home. These cookies have been around for 80 years—they have a buttery, wheat flavor and come in beautiful packaging. They're great as gifts.

If you want to experience nature outside of central Tokyo, this is a great day trip. There's so much greenery and the scenery changes with the seasons. It's only about an hour from downtown Tokyo, so it's super convenient!
