Toji Temple, a World Heritage Site, is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Kyoto. It is famous for its five-story pagoda and Buddhist statues, and the five-story pagoda is the largest wooden structure in Japan.
The Mikado, a national treasure, is the building that Kukai used as his residence, and is also a place of many other attractions. The monument of Sonkatsudarani on a large tortoise is said to heal the person who rubs the part of his body that is wrong with him. The temple is also famous for its cherry blossoms, which are illuminated during the cherry blossom season.

Take a stroll through the wonderful gardens!

With 120 years of history, the Kyoto National Museum is divided into the Meiji Ancient Capital and the Heisei Chishin Kan.
Rodin's statue of a thinking man is displayed outdoors in the Meiji Ancient Capital Museum.
The Meiji Ancient Capital Building itself is a National Important Cultural Property, so it is a must-see as well. The Heisei Chishinkan is another building with a modern design, and is on permanent display mainly in the Gallery of Masterpieces.

Rodin's Thinker is a must-see!

In my personal opinion, this statue of Rodin's Thinker can be discovered to be extremely muscular if you look closely at the back of the figure rather than from the front.
And even if you try to do the same pose, it turns out to be a bit difficult. Rodin's view of people is different for each person. Let's look at a work of art from different angles and think about it.

Kiyomizu Temple, which can be reached within an hour's walk from Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, is another Kyoto sightseeing spot. There is also Tofukuji Temple and other temples in between, so those who wish to enjoy sightseeing at a leisurely pace should definitely try walking there.
You can enjoy the famous Kiyomizu-no-butai (stage of Kiyomizu), the pagoda of childbirth prayer, and so on. The reason for this is that the cobblestone pavement is slippery. You can learn a lot about this kind of thing by taking a stroll.

The approach to the temple is also popular.

Tofukuji Temple, famous for its autumn foliage, can be reached in about 20 minutes from the old Fushimi Kaido Road.
It is about a 10-minute walk from Tofukuji Station, so it is rather recommended to go on foot.
During the fall foliage season, the entire floor is dyed bright red, creating a beautiful sight to behold. However, there are also many other attractions outside of the fall foliage season, such as the beautiful garden and the national treasure, Sanmon Gate.

Green in the season of fresh greenery!

In the season of fresh green, the whole area is covered with green moss, and combined with the green of the trees, it looks as if you are lost in a green world. Similarly, during the season of autumn leaves, the whole area turns bright red.
A river flows through the valley, and three bridges above it offer views of the beautiful gardens of Tofukuji Temple.
Just looking at the sand-patterned garden and the scenery will make you feel glad you came to Kyoto.
