There are lots of historical sites and cultural spots inside Maruyama Park, like Chion-in Temple and Yasaka Shrine. It's a great place to really get a sense of Kyoto's history and culture.

Sadoya Winery
Founded in 1917 in Kofu City, Sadoya Winery is an esteemed establishment and long-time player in the wine game. Many toast to its claim as the pioneer of authentic dry wines in Japan and sheer dedication to craft wines that always pair with a meal. Plus, its easy access just a 5-minute walk from JR Kofu Station keeps patrons happy, head-to-toe. Step over to the winery to find a spacious property of some 7,200 square meters (approximately 2,200 tsubo), all beaming with an atmosphere akin to a château in the South of France.
The atmosphere here is fantastic, and the building has a real European vibe. The tasting area is very professional, and the staff carefully explain the different wines. Highly recommended for anyone who loves wine and wants great photos!

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.
The Otowa Waterfall is believed to have sacred water. Many visitors line up to drink it, hoping for good health, long life, and success in their studies.
