Hello everyone I am Japanese student.
Now, I examine it about a sightseeing spot of Kyoto for paper to graduate.
I want to a lot of information. so, please cooperate.

If you are not Japanese, Please tell me your opinion about...
"Where do you want to visit if you visit Kyoto, Japan?"

For example, Kinkaku-ji Temple, Nijo-jo Castle and so on.
Even one place is OK.
And, if you are OK, please tell me your age and country.

Thank you for reading. and I'm sorry because my english is very poor

Don't apologize for your English, nagisa: It's a lot better than my Japanese.

I visited Kyoto for four days in January, and I was amazed by the beauty of its temples. When people ask me for advice on where to visit, I usually don't know where to begin. In four days, it felt like I only scratched the surface. I always feel sorry for people who tell me they only have one or two days to explore.

Kiyomizudera was one of my favorites. A sudden snow storm blew into the city as I visited, and I have all these beautiful pictures of the temples and the famous terrace being battered by snow. Sanjusangendo was remarkable, with all its statues of Kannon; Nanzenji's rock gardens were exquisite. Walking the grounds of Ginkakuji - in spite of all the tourists - made for a memorable afternoon, and the reflection of Kinkakuji in the pond outside was breathtaking.

See what I mean? Once I get started, I can hardly catch my breath. But I hope that was helpful!

Thank you for answering my question.
I think that Kyoto was very cold in winter. Winter is good. But I think spring and autumn are more beautiful than winter.
Please try to visit again

I love Kyoto. I think that I want a lot of foreigners to come to Kyoto and seeing not only sightseeing spot but also Japanese culture.
Therefore I examine it where an interesting place of foreigners is and I will write travel plans of having you enjoy it in a report.

Hi everyone!!
I am Japanese and college student now.
I visited Kyoto for four days in March of spring holiday last year.
I was really moved by the beauty of sight and some temples, people's personality.

I went to Kiyomizu temple, Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji, Ryoan-ji.
Ryoan-ji is famous for garden of stone.
I could forgot time when see beautiful sight!!!!!!
Also I went Arashiyama and ride on bogie.
I walked around a lot , so became tired BUT I could enjoy.
If you go Kyoto, you had better wear the shoes which were easy to walk.

I made a rough plan when I go there.
I got a lot of information at Kyoto station.
You can get map and line of buses map.
Also I recommend you had better buy 2dayfree bus ticket.
It was really useful!!!! You can get Kyotostation!!!

Have a nice trip!!
