Attraction Details & Expert Tips

|Katsuo-ji Temple|

Katsuo-jiかつおうじ

The Temple of Victorious Luck.
Historically visited by shoguns to pray for battlefield victories, this temple is now famous for its thousands of cute "Winning Daruma" dolls scattered everywhere. You can purchase a Daruma to make a wish for success in life's challenges. It's also a spectacular spot for autumn foliage.

🎁 Exclusive Experience: Daruma Stamp Postcard

Upon entry, you'll receive a blank postcard. By collecting stamps at 6 designated spots around the temple, your postcard will gradually fill with colors, revealing a limited-edition Daruma design for the current year!
※ The design changes yearly, making it a perfect collectible souvenir.

|Arashiyama|

Arashiyamaあらしやま

The retreat of Heian nobles.
Arashiyama is renowned for its distinct seasonal beauty. Stand on the iconic "Togetsu-kyo Bridge" to take in the breathtaking views of the Katsura River against the forested mountains, a scene cherished by Japanese nobility for over a millennium.

Step into the "Bamboo Grove," where towering green stalks create a serene, otherworldly tunnel. The rustling sound of the bamboo leaves swaying in the wind is officially recognized as one of the "100 Soundscapes of Japan."

|Kiyomizu-dera & Historic Streets|

Kiyomizu-deraきよみずでら

Kyoto's most iconic World Heritage site.
The magnificent wooden "Kiyomizu Stage" juts out over the hillside and was built without the use of a single nail. From the stage, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Kyoto city. Don't forget to drink from the "Otowa Waterfall," where the waters are said to grant success in studies, love, and longevity.

After your temple visit, stroll down the slopes of "Ninenzaka" and "Sannenzaka." These stone-paved streets are lined with beautifully preserved traditional wooden machiya houses, serving as souvenir shops, teahouses, and craft stores—the perfect place to experience old Kyoto.
