Kiyomizu Temple

Kyoto is the former capital of Japan and is home to 1600 Buddhist temples and 400 Shinto shrines. With so many shrines and temples, there is lots to see and visit in Kyoto. We stayed in Kyoto for 7 days and visited a few of the shrines and temples, but we also walked around the traditional neighborhood Gion and visited the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. Of course, one week isn’t nearly enough to see everything Kyoto has to offer. Read on to find out what we did in our complete 7-day Kyoto…
