Wander through vermillion gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine, where thousands of torii create tunnels of orange against green mountainside. Geisha hurry through narrow Gion streets at dusk, their white-painted faces glimpsed briefly before disappearing into exclusive teahouses. The golden pavilion of Kinkaku-ji appears to float on its reflecting pond, somehow more impressive than any photograph suggests. Nishiki Market offers bizarre delicacies and perfect ceramics in equal measure. Don't miss Arashiyama's bamboo grove, where morning light filters through impossibly tall stalks creating a green cathedral effect that explains why the Japanese find spirituality in nature.

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent
"Built in apps for streaming, visa capable laundry, multipurpose bath/shower (rain head), cafe was excellent with an onsite bakery. English speaking staff which was unusual during our trip. View was meh, but being at the back of the hotel helped as the hotel is on a main road. Breakfast and dinner were also very tasting and filling. Italian cuisine and open kitchen. Reasonable prices. A great boutique hotel away from the centre."
