8 Architectural Buildings in Shimogyo-ku That You Shouldn't Miss
The shrines and temples of Kyoto offer a rare link between modern life in the city and its very ancient past. The Shimogamo Shrine dates to the 6th century and seems suspended in time, its serenity and spiritual power still palpable. Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine, then see the life-sized Thousand Armed Kannon statues of Sanjūsangen-dō. Enjoy traditional geisha performances, then savor a tranquil meal at a restaurant overlooking the Kamo River.

A hugely impressive small city built around a large railway station, completely enveloping it. Amazing modern architecture of impressive scale and design, with a roof top garden 11 stories up, with views across the city and nearby Kyoto Tower. So many shops and cafes restaurants bakeries etc. even 5 star hotels, you could happily just spend many days here exploring and enjoying.

My husband and I stopped here on our honeymoon and enjoyed soaking up the Nintendo history. You can't go in the building, but the plaque makes for a great photo op and we enjoyed just walking around the area and thinking about the history of Nintendo. If you're a diehard fan, you'll love visiting this building! It's also near the river, which was nice to stroll along once we were done taking photos.
