Kyoto Vacation Deals

It depends, how many shrines can you see in a day? Generally, it is recommended to spend at least three to four days in Kyoto to be able to visit the main attractions and have some time to explore the city.

Hope you packed your appetite because Kyoto is famous for traditional Japanese cuisine including tofu, sake, soba and tea ceremony sweets. One thing is for sure, you won’t leave hungry!

Kyoto is beautiful all year round but even more so during the spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom (late March to mid-April, or even early May) or during the fall when the autumn leaves are at their peak.

Kyoto is one of those places where you could walk around with your eyes closed and stumble upon something incredible (although we don’t recommend walking with your eyes closed). Kyoto is known for its countless cultural and historical attractions, including temples, shrines, museums, and gardens.

Many travellers are drawn to the Gion district for its traditional geisha culture and majestic cherry blossom views in the spring. The Arashiyama area is also popular as it offers a tranquil and natural setting with soaring bamboo forests and temples.

To fully enjoy your holiday in Kyoto, be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes, a camera or phone to capture all the beautiful sights, and a small bag or backpack to carry souvenirs and/or snacks. Lightweight and breathable clothing as well as a small umbrella or rain jacket are also recommended.
