Kyoto Travel Guide: Best Sunny Day Itineraries & Must-See Attractions

When life feels overwhelming, I find solace in revisiting cherished memories.

My journey to Kyoto, nestled between the vibrant metropolises of Osaka and Tokyo, offered a serene escape. While those cities buzzed with energy, Kyoto gifted me with golden moments—ascending the mountainside path lined with fiery orange torii gates, drawing my fortune at the majestic Kiyomizu-dera, and wandering aimlessly along Ninenzaka as the Kamo River shimmered in the sunset’s glow.

I’ll never forget treating myself to that unforgettable unagi rice bowl—though the search took over an hour, every minute was rewarded with melt-in-your-mouth perfection.

And let’s not forget those refreshing 7-Eleven freshly squeezed juices—bursting with flavor! When will we be lucky enough to have these in China? Kyoto, you’ve spoiled me forever.
