    Wed-Thurs, 6-7 Dec- Kyoto

    1. Walk around Gion. This famous geisha district boasts cobbled streets lined with
    traditional buildings.
    2. Check out the renovated Pontocho area (they removed all the electric wires, making the
    alleys even more authentic).
    3. Go to a traditional ozashiki geisha show, the best way to meet the performing artists
    (especially as chasing them for a photo on the street is a huge faux pas).
    4. Stroll through the iconic Arashiyama Bamboo Forest.
    5. Climb up to Arashiyama Iwatayama Monkey Park, also known as Monkey Mountain,
    to see the semi-wild monkeys roaming around.
    6. Go through the seemingly in nite red torii gates in Fushimi Inari Taisha and climb up
    to the top if you can.
    7. See the famous rock Zen garden at Ryoanji Temple. We recommend heading there rst
    thing in the morning for a truly Zen experience.
    8. Check out the famous Golden Pavilion and Silver Pavilion. Same as with Ryoanji,
    you’ll want to head to the temples early.
    9. Walk the quaint streets up to Kiyomizudera Temple and enjoy the panoramic views of
    Kyoto.
    10. See the 1001 Kannon Buddha statues in Sanjusangendo.
    11. Visit the authentic 400-year-old Nijo Castle and see the stunning gold leaf art inside.
    12. Go to the top of Kyoto Tower for a drink with a view. It’s great as the rst or last thing
    to do in Kyoto as it’s close to the main station.

    Wed-Thurs, 6-7 Dec- Kyoto

    13. Eat yatsuhashi — Kyoto’s famous wagashi sweets of thin mochi lled with different avors
    from anko beans to chocolate.
    14. Or go luxe with the photogenic and delicious wagashi from Umezono.
    15. Try Kyoto pickles — they’re different from Kanto pickles.
    16. Check out Sawai-shoyu Honten to sample soy sauce made using a century-old process.
    17. Try barazushi, a Kyotango specialty that consists of scattered sh, vegetables and egg atop rice,
    like one giant sushi square.
    18. Slurp on some very special soba noodles at SubaSoba. Join the line and then eat while standing.
    19. Drink traditional matcha. Now, you can get matcha anywhere, but tea shops in Kyoto are sure to
    offer a variety of the highest quality.
    20. Then try creative matcha cocktails, because innovation never stops and that’s a good thing.
    21. Try tea at Yugen, close to the Kyoto Imperial Garden. The interior is as beautiful and delicate as
    its tea.
    22. Have the best possible introduction to eating natto at Natsumame, the restaurant that’s on a
    mission to make people like the fermented pungent soybean dish. The proprietor even hated natto at
    rst.
    23. Visit this Starbucks housed in a beautiful traditional building where you can sip on a matcha
    latte while sitting on a tatami oor.
    24. Eat doughnuts at Koe, the shop designed by Kengo Kuma Associates. Great architecture aside,
    the doughnuts are organic, natural and delicious.
    25. Savor shojin ryori (vegan Buddhist cuisine) at a local temple.
    26. Have a cup of coffee at Sarasa Nishijin that’s housed in an old sento (bathhouse) retaining its
    unique architecture and design.
    27. Eat precious rock and mineral-inspired sweets at Usagi no Nedoko Cafe.
    28. Or visit any of these seven Kyoto cafés recommended by one TW writer.
    29. Enjoy delectable vegetable-focused food at Yasai Hori.
    30. Do yoga in the morning followed by dinner in the evening at Monk, a small restaurant located
    along the Philosophers Path, near Ginkakuji.
    31. On comfortable evenings, sip on local brews and liquor at rooftop bar In the Moon and admire
    Kyoto from above.
