The layout is a bit winding, but it’s still enjoyable to walk around and explore. It feels more relaxed than the department stores in Shinjuku or Shibuya—not overwhelming at all.
Among the many shrines in Kyoto, this one has a lot of historical significance. The grounds are spacious and it's pretty quiet, so it's a great place to relax and clear your mind.
Because Kyoto is a protected cultural heritage site, no building can be taller than Kiyomizu-dera. You can get a really clear view of the whole city from here.
Taking the cable car up the mountain is super convenient. You get to see mountains, the sea, and the city all at once. The scenery is wide and beautiful, and it really lifts your spirits. This trip was totally worth it and made me happy!
