Today we will visit Higashiyama district of Kyoto, one of the areas that is loved not only loved by visitors who want something more peaceful and stunningly beautiful with authentic atmosphere, but also by the locals as well. The trick with this day is to visit the most famous location right away at the morning (which is Silver Temple). Because of its location, the majority of people tend visit it in the afternoon which is a huge mistake, because it get super crowded by that time (partly because the walking space there is pretty narrow). Suffice to say, I highly recommend to start this day and visit Silver Temple as soon as it is opened.

Recommended arrival time at the first location: 8:30 AM

Quick summary of the day:

  • Beautiful Temples and Gardens (with some of the most beautiful carps I've ever seen in Japan) in a quite and peaceful area beloved by locals as well

  • Walk around a beautiful area surrounded by nature

  • Recommended restaurants

Notes about restaurants: Everyone will be going through this route with their own pace, so to make things convenient, I've set up all of the recommended restaurants all along the path, so that you could choose one whenever you feel hungry.
