Kyoto & Vicinity Walking Guide Kyoto, which was Japan's capital for over 1,000 years, is a veritable open-air museum. All over the city, you can find countless shrines, temples, palaces and other historical sites. The main attractions that draw over 50 million visitors each year to this sacred city include the lavishly ornate Golden and Silver Pavilions, the mysterious Rock Garden at Ryoanji Temple and the ever famous Kiyomizu-dera Temple constructed eloquently over a steep cliff overlooking the city. In this guidebook, there are 12 recommended courses designed to help first-time individual travelers to enjoy the tourist attractions in Kyoto on their own. Also included are another 12 courses covering Kyoto's environs, which also abound in historical sites and art as well as scenic beauty. We sincerely hope this guidebook will be your helping hand to make the most of your visit to Kyoto and its vicinity.

Note to Museum Visitors Admission to museums is usually until 30 minutes prior to closing time. Museums generally close on Mondays (some close on other days of the week), and the New Year holidays. If the closing day falls on a national holiday, the following day is generally closed instead.

Hanami Hanamikoji-do koji-doririSt. St.

This course takes you through the bustling streets of Nishikikoji, Teramachi-dori St., Shinkyogoku, and Kawaramachi. Head downtown to the dizzying sights and sounds of modern Kyoto, where the glaring electrical goods shops, huge department stores and banks stand alongside dusty old book shops and printmakers. Wander down the narrow backstreets of Ponto-cho, Hanamikoji-dori St. and Miyagawa-cho, and you might just catch a fleeting glance of a maiko or geisha sitting inside with a measure of refinement befitting the ancient city doorways. Shijo-kawaramachi is the main place in Kyoto for restaurants and department stores. From here, it's only a short walk to Gion where old town houses have been transformed into stylish boutiques. For a break from shopping, wander down the tiny alleys that link the main streets and see a fascinating contrast of two worlds. Stroll around here at dusk and in the darkness watch the traditional lanterns gradually come to life, glowing gently against the blazing neon backdrop. End your day with a performance at Gion Corner, the famous stage for traditional arts. Performances are twice daily from 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Note that there are no performances on Jul.16, Aug.16 and Dec.29 - Jan.3.

Around Kyoto Around KyotoStation Station

A short walk from the ultramodern Kyoto Station, you come across Higashi (East) Honganji Temple and Nishi (West) Honganji Temple, and a little further, the beautiful gardens of Shosei-en Garden. All are free to enter and make for an enjoyable half-day stroll. If you're feeling energetic, continue to the Umekoji Steam Locomotive Preservation Hall where you can take a bumpy ride on one of the locomotives, or just stroll around Umekoji (Plum Blossom Alley) Park. From here head to Toji Temple, its five-story pagoda–the tallest in Japan– stands tall among the concrete of southern Kyoto. This temple is a landmark associated with the bustling flea markets held in the grounds on the 1st Sunday of each month and the 21st of each month. Here, you hunt through the many stalls offering antiques, ceramics, plants, food and more for that perfect souvenir to take home, which reminds you of your time in the Old Capital. Not far from the station is the huge Sanjusangendo Temple. Its long wooden halls house 1,001 statues of Kannon, the Goddess of Mercy. You have an eerie feeling you are being watched as you follow the route through the smoky, incense-filled halls.

Ohara Ohara

It takes one hour by bus from Kyoto to Ohara. Just up the hill, past the souvenir stalls with their brightly colored boxes of cakes, sweets and plastic gifts, is Sanzen-in Temple. Crowds of people come here in autumn to capture the perfect shot of the changing leaves on the mountainside and to admire the beautiful Yusei-en Garden. In the rainy season, you walk through the famous hydrangea garden in the quiet drizzle as spring eases into summer. From here, you walk to Hosen-in Temple. As you enter the tatami room, you feel like you are watching a living picture as you peer out of the wooden frames of the old building into the bamboo garden and hills beyond. Cast your eyes upwards in the main hall and you'll see the macabre blood-stained ceiling taken from Fushimi Castle. Leave a little time for a short rest and to try the bitter Japanese tea and sweet cakes on offer, before heading off to try your hand at Kusaki-zome (vegetable dyeing) or to watch Shiba-zuke (pickled cucumber) in one of the traditional workshops.

Course 8

Fushimi Fushimi Aro

From JR Kyoto Station, take the short train ride to JR Inari Station. Enter the vast complex of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine dedicated to the guardian deity Inari, which is often portrayed in the physical form of a fox. All around you, people stand before the shrines and countless stone foxes praying for success in business or protection from disaster. You continue up the path through the thousands of red Torii gates (Shrine gates) stretching before you like a colorful tunnel against the green, up the winding trail of Mt. Inari. Weary hikers take a rest leaning against one of the red Torii, or more pleasantly at one of the tiny teahouses along the way. Head over to Tofukuji Temple and cross the gentle stream by the Tsutenkyo Bridge (Bridge to Heaven). Especially beautiful in the autumn shade, this famous little area is often filled with maple leaf watchers towards the end of October. Continue along to Hojo Garden and then onto Sennyuji Temple, in front of which the bus leaves to take you back to Kyoto Station.

Course 9 A&B

Amanohashidate &&Mi Amanohashidate Miy One of Jap

A. A. This course takes you far out of the city and up to the rugged Japan Sea Coast. Get off at Amanohashidate Station for one of the top three scenic spots in Japan–Amanohashidate. A white sand bar lined with pine trees stretches elegantly across the bay, giving this magical place its name the Bridge to Heaven. Walk through the shadows of the pines, cool in the gentle breeze blowing across the bay, then return by boat on the still blue waters to the most famous spot–Kasamatsu Park. Copy the many other tourists as they turn away from the bridge, bend over and look through their legs, and you are met with the famous illusion of the bridge winding its way to heaven. Take a leisurely stroll back to the station where you can take your pick from the many hot springs and soak in a steaming outdoor bath before continuing on to the old Edo Period town of Miyazu. B. B. Not Not far far from from Miyazu Miyazu Station Station is Miyazu Catholic Church. Built in the Meiji Period, this Roman-style church looks distinctly European, until you enter its dimly lit chapel and see the floor around the altar is all Japanese tatami. (There's no sightseeing allowed when a Mass is being held.) Back out in the sunlight, you are once again whisked back in time to the Edo Era. The homes of wealthy merchants are perfectly preserved as an informative example of the life of a merchant in feudal Japan. Only Mikami-ke House, however, is open to the public.

Uji Uji

This course starts a short walk from Uji Station beyond the huge, imposing wooden gates of the Kambayashi Memorial Museum. Old pine trees shade the small wooden building, towering over the low, dimly lit entrance in this little corner tucked away from the busy shopping street. From here, you walk along old streets lined with teashops, and only teashops, where the smells of the many kinds of tea roasting in the open air mingle together on the gentle breeze. Stop at one of the small restaurants for some tea-flavored noodles and ice cream, before entering the magnificent Byodo-in, a designated World Heritage Site. The main hall, featured on the 10-yen coin, is the focus of the crowds, each person trying to get the perfect shot in front of the pond. Continue down along the tree-lined river bank to Taiho-an, the Municipal Tea House, then cross the elegant red wooden bridge to the largest stone pagoda in Japan. Built in 1286, this 13-stage pagoda stands tall on the small sandy island surrounded by the rapids of the Uji River which you cross again, over to Koshoji Temple, where photographers and artists gather in the midst of autumn to capture the red maples around the temple. Continue to the beautiful temple grounds of Eshin-in Temple, then to Asahiyaki Pottery to admire the local crafts. From here you stop by Uji-jinja Uji Shrine, Shrine, thenthen cross cross thethe road roadtotothe theUji Uji Chapters Chapters Monument, Monument, celebrating the ten chapters of The Tale of the Genji set here in Uji. Next, head up up the thepaved pavedpath pathtoto Ujikami-jinja Ujikami Shrine Shrinewhere wherethe theold old man man selling shrine charms by the entrance explains in a hushed voice that the shrine is a perfect example of traditional shrine architecture, and hands you pamphlets containing its colorful history. From here, walk down the shady tree-lined road to the Tale of Genji Museum, dedicated to the famous epic novel written by Murasaki Shikibu. Stop for a brief rest at Hashidera Temple before crossing Uji Bridge and strolling back to the station. Kyoto

Miyama Miyama

Two hours north of the bustle of the Old Capital lie the charming, sleepy rural villages of Miyama-cho. The traditional art of thatch, now a dying art in most parts of rural Japan, is very much alive here, especially in the North Village, which has been designated a national preservation site. You spend a relaxing morning wandering the villages and admiring the heavily thatched houses, from where friendly locals appear with a smile as they tend to their immaculately kept gardens. Stop at Miyama-cho Nature and Culture Village where you can try your hand at the local pottery or making Washi, the exquisite hand-made paper of this area, before stopping at one of the relaxing Onsen (hot spring) for a long bath and for a taste of the perfectly presented local cuisine as you look out over the rolling hills of this secret corner of Kyoto. Stop in one of the village shops to pick up some of the local vegetables, grown in beautiful natural surroundings on the sloping hills, before saying your good-byes to the friendly faces that pass you on the little streets and returning relaxed and refreshed through the picturesque mountain passes to the bustle of the city.

Nara Nara

Nara Park is within walking distance of both JR Nara Station and Kintetsu Nara Station. It's the perfect place for a relaxing stroll and to discover the heart of Japanese culture with its countless shrines, temples and museums, which take you back through the history of this ancient capital. You start your walk in the grounds of Kofukuji Temple. The five-story pagoda stands tall over the temple grounds, providing a perfect backdrop for your photographs of the tranquil Sarusawaike Pond. As you continue up into the vast Nara Park, deer happily grazing wander up to you begging for Deer Cracker (Shikasenbei) as you continue on up to the Great Buddha of Todaiji Temple. The huge statue stares down at you in the smoky hall, as all around you people throw coins into the huge boxes placed below the Buddha's giant feet and join their hands in prayer. You feel as if you've traveled back centuries. Before you wind your way down to admire the priceless Buddhist treasures of Nara National Museum, you stop by Nigatsudo Hall, famous for its Water Drawing Ceremony in March when all the temple is ablaze with the flames of roaring torches carried ceremoniously by the monks.

Course 14

From Kyoto Station, it takes 50 minutes to reach the charming castle town of Hikone. Hikone Castle, one of the four castles designated as National Treasures (the others being Himeji, Inuyama and Matsumoto Castle), stands proudly over the town, inviting you to enter its heavy wooden doors. Inside the castle, you climb to the top floor where you are greeted with a breathtaking view of Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan. Take an hour or so to wander around inside the castle, now a museum detailing the history of this majestic structure, before heading to Genkyu-en, an exquisite Chinese-style garden where you can relax in the delicate surroundings. Take in the old atmosphere of the town with a walk down Yume Kyobashi Castle Road, an authentic looking replica of a typical street in an Edo Period castle town, an insight into 'Old Hikone', where you can buy traditional souvenirs and sweets or just browse in the doorways with the many other tourists. To cool down in the heat of summer, head over to the lakeside. If you can make it through the crowds, take a swim in the cool waters of the lake, before jumping on a boat at Hikone Port for a relaxing ride around the tiny Chikubushima Island, a charming nature spot in the center of the lake Shrine. complete with Hogonji Temple and Chikubushima-jinja Chikubushima Shrine.

Osaka is divided into two lively, vibrant areas, the Kita (northern) and Minami (southern) areas. In the Kita area, you’ll find shopping streets packed with huge, brightly lit stores and scores of people moving at a dizzying pace through the many arcades. However, it’s in the Minami district that the bustling, vibrant character of Osaka can be seen, smelt and heard. Go due south from Nippombashi Station and head over to the Kuromon Market. There, you’ll be overwhelmed by the myriad tastes and smells coming from lively stalls selling foods from all over the world. The stallholders call out in the typical, cheerful Osaka style, urging you to purchase some of their bizarre-looking and -smelling items. A little further down, past Takashimaya Exhibition Hall, is Den-Den Town. This is the place to haggle for electrical bargains. From here, back to the street, to the west of Kuromon Market, you will find Sennichimae Doguya-suji. Traders in this street sell everything you need to turn your purchases from Kuromon Market into an exquisite meal. There’s also a dazzling array of pots and utensils, and even plastic food. Stroll down the narrow, dimly lit alleys of Hozenji-yokocho for a taste of old Osaka, then visit the Kamigata Ukiyoe Museum, where beautiful woodblock prints depicting life in Japan are display, before heading off Tokyuon Hands to the Dotombori area. The various foods and Nagahoribashi reasonably-priced restaurants surrounding you here are sure to make you hungry. 1 To end YOTUBASHI your day course, take a stroll and go shopping around the trendy Daimaru 25 25 America-mura and Shinsaibashi Big Step precincts. department store

Around OsakaCastle Castle Around Osaka

This course takes you on a historical journey through the streets of old Osaka, a stark contrast to the gleaming modern office blocks and department stores that surround you at every corner. From JR Osakajo-koen Station just in front of the castle park, it's only a short walk to the Osaka Castle Main Tower, which is a proud authentic-looking structure on the very grounds where the original castle once stood, and houses many cultural assets. In this area also lie the Ruins of Naniwanomiya, the remains of the old palace proudly preserved as a park. You stroll around in the warm sunshine before heading to the nearby Osaka Museum of History where each floor transports you back to a different era in Osaka's long, vibrant life.

Arima Arima

Along with Dogo and Shirahama, Arima is one of Japan's three oldest and most famous hot springs. Take the bus from Sannomiya Station station to Arima Onsen Bus Stop. Browse in the old, wooden souvenir shops on Taiko Street on your way to the beautiful Tsuzumigataki Waterfall Park. Its thunderous sounds echo through the trees as the sun lights the surrounding leaves in ethereal radiance. Take the Ropeway up above the trees for a stunning view of this ancient town littered with old temples and hot spring hotels, which seem to be everywhere, on all the streets and hillsides. Stop by Gokurakuji Temple and Tansan-Sengen Park before reaching Gin-no-Yu Gin-no-Yu Spa (silver (silver water water spa),spa), famous famous for its forwaters its waters highhigh carbonic carbonic acid acid and and radium radium content. content.

You can also hike from Mt. Rokko to Arima Onsen or vice versa. Climbing the slopes of Mt.

Koyasan Koyasan

This course takes you way up high into the mists, to the spiritual mountains of Koyasan. Hundreds of temples and shrines nestle on the summit, shrouded in mist and secrecy as they have been for over 1000 years. Koyasan is the seat of the Shingon Esoteric Buddhism tradition which was established here, 900 meters above sea level on these mysterious mountaintops by Kobo Daishi Kukai. Take the cable car up through the deep forests to Koyasan Station then ride the bus packed with pilgrims up to Oku-no-in. Pass through the dark cemetery lined with thousands of tombs surrounded by tall cedars, shading the graves from the light in the early morning mist. Continue to the head temple of the Shingon sect. Sohonzan Kongobuji Temple, where faithful pilgrims crowd the large grounds of this ancient holy site. Continue to the colorful Danjogaran, its majestic red eaves contrasting with the deep blue sky. From here, head over to Reihokan, a museum housing national treasures, pictures and scrolls of religious importance. Come out of here into the late afternoon sun and queue with the faithful for a bus back to the station. Alternatively, you head to one of the many temples offering lodgings. Here, you experience temple life complete with vegetarian temple food and a tranquil Japanese garden behind the light sliding paper doors. Relax in the hot bath before falling asleep in the serene stillness as night falls over the mountains. The next day, wake early to the tolling of the temple bell, the start of a day to stroll the wooded mountainsides and discover the smaller temples hidden away from the crowds.

Kumano-kodo Kumano-kodo

Travel deep into the mountains, through the dark, damp green forests, over moss-covered stones, up into the swirling mists, up onto the Ancient Road of Kumano. This course takes you in the footsteps of Emperors and countless others who since the Heian Period have made this same pilgrimage to Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine. The vast shrine complex is surrounded by dark, imposing trees, towering high above the majestic roofs. Through the mists, you hear the sound of coins being dropped into wooden boxes followed by the echo of clapping as worshippers bow their heads and pray to the heavenly Gods. From here, follow the ancient route lined with small shrines and statues, to the remains of the ancient Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine at Oyunohara, marked with an impressive torii gate and a backdrop of intense beauty. You spend the night at one of the nearby Onsen (hot spring resort), choosing from the three most famous: Yunomine, Wataze or Kawayu. Here, you relax in steaming open-air baths, the steam rising over the mistcovered hills as the day draws to a close. The next day, you wake early and catch the bus or taxi up to Hosshimmon-oji Shrine midway along the ancient Nakahechi Trail from where, deep in the forests, you begin a three-hour walk back down to Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine.

Awajito Awaji toIya IyaValley Valley

It's a spectacular bus trip across the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge; high above the blue Seto Inland Sea that takes you to the beautiful Awaji Island. You can spend a day leisurely strolling around the beautiful flower parks or swimming at one of the beautiful beaches dotted around the coast. Stop at Awaji-shi in the north of the island to see the Nojima Fault, a preserved fault of the huge earthquake in 1995. The modern science complex also has an earthquake memorial park and other reminders of the tragedy that struck this tranquil island. From here, head south to Minamiawaji-shi. Onaruto Bridge Promenade is called the 'Gateway to Shikoku' and crosses you over fast swirling whirlpools to the warm island of Shikoku. You arrive in Naruto, and make your way to Otsuka Museum of Art where you can spend hours admiring the variety of works and glorious wall paintings. Come out into the warm sunlight and stop by Ryozenji Temple, the first temple on the grueling pilgrimage around Shikoku's 88 holy temples. All around you, pilgrims dressed from head to toe in white robes pray for divine help and inspiration as they start their long journey around the island. You are taken back to Europe when you visit the Naruto German House, a European-style building built in commemoration of the German prisoners of war interned here during World WarⅠ. After visiting Gokurakuji Temple, the second on the 88-temple trail, head further down the prefecture to one of Japan's best-kept secrets of unspoilt beauty – Iya Valley. Tree-covered cliffs rise hundreds of meters in the air, rocky streams run through ravines and waterfalls flow down smooth cliffs into the winding Iya River.

Ise & Shima Shima Ise &

This relaxing 2-day course from Kyoto takes you down to southern Mie, an area of breathtaking coastlines and natural beauty. From Ise-shi Station, it's only a short walk to one of the many shrine halls that make up the shrine in in all all of of Japan, Japan, Ise-jingu Isejingu Shrine. Geku most famous and revered shrine (outer shrine) is mystical in the early morning mist, standing quietly among the age-old trees of the surrounding deep green forest. As pilgrims have done for centuries, you head down to Naiku (inner shrine) through Oharai-machi. You wander through the old streets taking a rest at one of the many traditional tea shops that line the narrow streets before choosing a local souvenir from the tiny shops selling wooden toys and simple lacquer ware. Stroll into the Okage-yokocho area and you stumble back over 100 years. The area ambitiously replicated as a town from the Edo through Meiji Eras would be quite convincing were it not for the many tourists crowding the tiny shop fronts. Continue and cross the Ujibashi Bridge over the Isuzu River to enter the holy precincts of Naiku where you lose the crowds for a moment as you enter the deep forest before arriving at the main hall. On the way back to the station, stop off at one of the many restaurants offering the famous local cuisine of lobsters, oysters and delicious fresh fish from the Pacific. From Ise, continue by the Kintetsu line on to Toba, the home of cultured pearls. Head straight to Mikimoto Pearl Island in time for the entertaining diving demonstrations by the women pearl divers of Toba, then stroll around the museum taking in the history and culture of this sparkling region. From here, it's a short walk to the huge Toba Aquarium where you are dazzled by the countless fishes and animals of all colors and sizes. A few minutes from Kashikojima Station you arrive at the boarding point for the magical 'España Cruise.' 'Esperansa', designed like a 16th-century Spanish sailing ship, takes you on a delightful 50-minute cruise around the windswept islands of Ago Bay, stopping at the Shinju (pearl) Model Factory. (Note: The 4:30 p.m. departure doesn't stop at the factory. Service only available between March 21 and October 31.) After your relaxing cruise, take a short stroll around the peaceful Maruyama Park and a break from all things maritime, before visiting Shima Marineland where all kinds of creatures in huge tanks surround you. You feel you are deep under the ocean, alone in another world as you pass along the dimly lit route. From Shimayokoyama Station, hiking up Yokoyama through blooming azaleas to the observation platform is also an option. From here you get a different angle on Ago Bay, one of waves crashing against stunning coastline, the deep blue ocean stretching out to the horizon 203 meters below. On your way back to Kashikojima Station, cross the Kashikojima Bridge for a stunning night view across the bay.
