Kiyomizu-dera
The Kiyomizu stage hangs on Higashiyama. This day is the temple, the slopes and Yasaka, ending in Gion. Not Fushimi Inari, and not Arashiyama.
A love letter to Hong Kong
Your next stop.

Fushimi Inari Taisha
The start of the senbon torii. The full mountain loop is over two hours; turning back at a mid-slope view is allowed. Do not add Kiyomizu the same day.

Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
The bamboo path north of Nonomiya. Mornings are thinner. Then Tenryu-ji or back to the bridge — it is not another mountain.
The luxury of time to fall in love.
Turn into a quiet street. Linger over dinner. Let the sea breeze change your plans.
We connect the places worth finding. The discovery is yours.
