First of all, I would like to introduce Kiyomizu-Dera Temple, the center of this article, as the largest and most beautiful natural sightseeing spot. Kiyomizu-dera itself is a very well-known tourist spot in Kyoto that is very well known throughout Japan. The main hall of the temple, which is located on a very high place, has often been photographed and painted, and I think it can be said that many Japanese people are familiar with this scenery. The nature to be enjoyed from such an outstanding vantage point is exceptional. You can enjoy a panoramic view of Kyoto Prefecture and the surrounding mountains, trees, and blue skies. The inclusiveness of nature in Kyoto is an attraction for those who feel a little tired of city life. It is a natural attraction that should be visited first and foremost.

You can experience the magnificent nature of Kyoto with your whole body!

So far, we have introduced the scenic nature that can be viewed from the main hall. The contrast between the blue sky all around and the surrounding wilderness is so fascinating that words cannot begin to describe it. While the lush beauty of fresh greenery can be experienced during the warm summer months, the autumn leaves and other colors spread all around in early fall. Autumn foliage is another attraction unique to Japan, which has four distinct seasons. Visitors can enjoy each of the four seasons and feel nature. Furthermore, the precincts of the temple are complete with a garden space that looks like a Japanese garden. Here, too, you can enjoy a different kind of fun, as you can actually step out into the magnificent nature, have a light meal, and enjoy a cup of tea. If you want to enjoy the nature in the Kiyomizu-dera area, this is the first place you should visit.

This Kodaiji Temple is a well-known tourist spot for Kyoto's history buffs. Many people may not have the image of a temple that focuses mainly on nature, but Kodaiji Temple has gained popularity because of its substantial nature. Please visit the temple to see the vast grounds and the fascinating nature that is evident in the temple.

Full of nature in spite of being a temple! Recommended for a wide range of people!

As mentioned earlier, although this is a temple, it can be accessed without any fuss and is a place where one can enjoy nature to the fullest. This makes it a very enjoyable place for children, even those who do not have much understanding or interest in religious beliefs. The temple is famous for its weeping cherry blossoms, which are located in the center of the temple. The cherry blossoms, which bloom in early spring, are very large and spectacular. It is one of the best cherry blossom viewing spots in Kyoto Prefecture. In addition, a Japanese garden is also set up on a very large scale. The exquisite sense of balance of the exquisitely arranged trees, stones, and willows is fascinating even just to look at. If you visit Kodaiji Temple after visiting Kiyomizu-dera Temple, you will discover the differences between the two temples and feel a different charm.

This Niningsaka is an important location, the so-called lifeline, connecting all the facilities and tourist attractions in the Kiyomizu-dera area. Following the Kyoto-like, calm atmosphere and buildings and plots, it offers exactly what many people envision for sightseeing in Kyoto. If you visit the Kiyomizu-dera area, you will naturally have access to this spot. The contrast between the surrounding old buildings and atmosphere and the surrounding trees and blue sky is exquisite. You can feel the traditional Japanese beauty of nature as much as possible.

The contrast between the good old buildings of Kyoto and the nature all around is breathtaking!

The most distinctive feature of this spot is that it is a slope, which means that it has a certain degree of inclination. This slope allows visitors to enjoy a relatively wide field of view of the surrounding landscape. From such a good vantage point, visitors can enjoy the contrast of nature with the surrounding old houses and buildings of Kyoto. Depending on the time of year, you can enjoy the nature of the four seasons, such as cherry blossoms and plum blossoms, and I recommend visiting at various times of the year. As you can imagine, Kyoto and its abundant nature make it an outstanding sightseeing spot that Japanese people cannot resist.

This Yasaka Shrine is very well known throughout Japan. Although it is thought to have a strong image as a prayer spot, it is surprisingly rich in nature. As a spot that displays the richness of nature in each of the four seasons, it is a delight for both nearby residents and visitors alike, allowing them to enjoy the emotional richness of a uniquely Japanese landscape.

There is plenty of nature around the nationally famous gate and precincts!

The gate and precincts of Yasaka Shrine are well known because they are often featured in photographs and on television. Although it is such a popular spot, it is also surrounded by an abundance of nature. The large scale of the trees that extend far beyond the height of the gate and precincts gives a sense of scale and even gives the impression of being swallowed up. As a spiritual place, it is uniquely appealing because of its extremely austere atmosphere. The nature here also offers an outstanding view of the autumn colors of the leaves in early fall. Please enjoy the serene atmosphere typical of Kyoto.

It is also very popular among people who like fashionable things and photography, so please visit the temple.

The area around Nanzenji Temple is full of trees and babbling water. Visitors can enjoy the magnificent nature in a very spacious area. The most notable feature of the temple is its stone arches. The uniquely shaped arches here blend well with the surrounding nature and create a tranquil atmosphere. Many people take pictures of their faces peeking out from these arches, and such a scene was seen in the opening of a certain popular anime. Accompanying the recent photo boom, Nanzenji Temple is re-expanding its popularity as one of the best spots for social networking. If you like temples, a ladder from Kiyomizu-dera Temple is also highly recommended.

We introduced Nanzenji Temple earlier, and this is a famous natural spot within walking distance from Nanzenji Temple. This spot was reconstructed from a place where railroad tracks used to run, and the contrast between the cobblestone pavement and the trees covering the surrounding area is exquisite. This spot, with its single vertical path and unique natural form, is also a popular photo spot. It is a wonderful spot where retro and modern fashionable styles seem to coexist. Please visit this spot when sightseeing in Kyoto.

The single track railroad line and surrounding trees show their seasonal expressions!

The trees in a straight line along the side of the railroad tracks show their seasonal expressions. In early spring, cherry blossoms bloom all over the area, fresh greenery grows in summer, and autumn leaves cover the area in early fall. The ability to enjoy nature in each of the four seasons is a uniquely Japanese attraction. In addition, the contrast between this place and the railroad tracks makes it a unique natural sightseeing spot. It is also a great place to take pictures, and is a must-see destination for young people and women.

Maruyama Park here is a very famous spot for weeping cherry trees. The large cherry tree that stands proudly in the center of the park is so popular that many people visit the park for this reason. It is one of the largest and most impressive cherry trees in Japan. It is a great place to take pictures or just to look at it and think about it.
Please visit Maruyama Park, which has become a well established hanami spot in Kyoto Prefecture.

Lots of big trees besides cherry blossoms!

Maruyama Park is known for its cherry blossoms, but there are many other trees in the park as well. The forests that cover a large area of the park are truly breathtaking and attract many visitors. The park is very spacious, so we recommend sitting back and relaxing in the sun. This park is recommended throughout the year, as you can enjoy cherry blossoms in early spring and a lush and peaceful space in the beginning of summer. If you are looking for a place to enjoy nature to the fullest, please visit.
