Kyoto International Manga Museum
When talking about manga in Kyoto, the Kyoto International Manga Museum is a place that cannot be missed.
Not only can you read manga of all time, but there are also many events such as original drawings and workshops, making the museum a true mecca for manga lovers who can enjoy the museum all day long.
The admission fee allows you to read as many manga as you like inside the museum. Or just lie outside on the lawn and read! It has become a mecca for those who love manga with a sense of freedom.
More splendid than a library!
Many people stay from opening to closing of the library because they can read all the manga they want, which are spread all over the walls. Even so, some people are not confident they can read them all at all and keep coming back again and again.
Some of the comics are out of print, so if there is a comic you are after, you can come here to read it.
It is for everyone to read, so let's read it neatly.

K-ON!
Popular as a heartwarming anime, Keion! has Kyoto popping up everywhere.
The Kamo River Delta, the water pavilion at Nanzenji Temple, Kyoto Station, Kinkakuji Temple, Arashiyama, Kyoto Tower, and many other places you can see on a school trip. If you go along the same school excursion course, you will have the same experience.
It is also a standard sightseeing course in Kyoto.
Same pose at the Water Pavilion at Nanzenji!
Many people, especially at the Suiroukaku at Nanzenji Temple, take pictures of themselves in the same pose. However, in Japan, there is a saying "Kakishimasu wa kakezai," which means that even if you are a little embarrassed, it is okay to do so in front of people you will never see again. It is a little embarrassing, but it is also a memorable experience to take a picture of the same composition.
It is also recommended to experience the stepping stones of the Kamogawa Delta. Please note that the amount of water here varies from day to day.

The famous Detective Conan, a character so well known throughout Japan, also visited Kyoto on a school excursion. Since Kyoto is a mecca for school trips, it is often used for school trips in school anime. The school excursion episode is titled "Beni no Shugaku Ryoko Hen" and was aired as a special.
Fruit Parlor Yaoyiso
Conan and his friends go around Kyoto on their school excursion, passing Sanjusangendo, Yogenin, Gojo Ohashi Bridge, Kiyomizu Temple, Yasaka Shrine, Benkeiishi, etc. from Kyoto Station, and Ran and his friends go to this Fruit Parlor Yaoiso to eat. The fruit sandwiches at Fruit Parlor Yaoyiso are a must-see for fans, not only because they appear in the anime, but also because the author, Gosho Aoyama, visited there! In the anime, it was a set of fruit juice and fruit sandwich.

The live-action filming location is in the neighboring prefecture of Shiga, but the anime has a lot of Kyoto in it. There are tours that take you to Sagano, Arashiyama, Kiyotaki, Yasaka Shrine, Nanzenji Temple, and other sacred places in Rurouni Kenshin.
Togetsu Bridge
Togetsu Bridge in Arashiyama is a famous sacred site that appears in the opening of the second season of the anime. The Ōi River, which flows along with the bridge, has been cut in many scenes, so it is fun to look for it.

The Eccentric Family
This is a funny and touching anime in which raccoon dogs and tengu appear disguised as humans. Originally a novel by Tomihiko Morimi, it has many fans, including novelists. The story is set in Kyoto, which is a sacred place wherever you go. The background is almost entirely Kyoto, so it is recommended to try to find the angle from which Kyoto is seen.
Shimogamo Shrine
In the Tadasunomori forest in Shimogamo Shrine, which appears in the anime, there really are raccoon dogs living there! Perhaps the raccoon in front of you is a raccoon that has turned into a raccoon. The Shimogamo Shrine itself is a sacred place since the Shimogamo family is said to live in the Shimogamo Shrine.
There is such a mysterious atmosphere here that one might lose the border between the story and reality!

Sound! Euphonium
A youthful school anime with a love of brass band music, Hibike! Euphonium is also set in Kyoto. Uji City is the main city, so if you go to Uji City, you will encounter numerous sacred places. Let's take a look at the Kyoto Prefectural Yamashiro Sports Park, Uji Bridge, Uji Station on the Keihan Railway, the Uji City Cultural Center, the interior of the Keihan 13000 series train, and other places that have a special place in your heart in person.
Mt. Oyoshi Observation Deck
The Oyoshiyama Observatory, which comes up several times, is also a sacred place for Sound! Euphonium.
You will have to climb a little bit up a mountain path, but it is a beautiful view, so I recommend it. The scenery is exactly the same as in the anime.
The high school modeled after Kyoto Prefectural Yudo High School is also a must-see.

My Teen Romantic Comedy Snafu. Too!
This is an anime about a main character who is full of mistakes in his youth because he joined the service club. It is a popular work that has been adapted into an anime and series after a light novel.
The school trip takes the students to Kiyomizu Temple, Arashiyama, Eiga-mura, and Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. Like other anime, Kyoto is a mecca for school excursions, which is why it is used in many anime.
Tenka Ippin Souhonten
There is a scene where they go to Tenka Ippin's head office to eat ramen as the end of the sightseeing tour, and I recommend you to go there to eat the same ramen. However, the white bowl in the anime (see photo) is not served very often, and it becomes a red bowl, so if you want to eat the same white bowl, you can ask the waiter for it.
And since they are the originators of Kyoto ramen, it tastes great too!
