Ginkaku-ji Temple (45 minutes)
The Temple of the Silver Pavilion is one of Kyoto's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Unlike the Golden Pavilion, this temple is not covered in silver, even though that was the creator's original intention. Instead, it is known for its beautiful Zen rock garden, traditional landscaping, and architecture.
Kiyomizu-dera Temple (120 minutes)
Founded in the early Heian Era, this temple offers sweeping panoramas of Kyoto from its mountainside perch. The temple is named for the waters that flow beneath it, which are legendary for their wish-granting powers.
