Things to do in Kyoto, Kinki: The Best Sights & Landmarks
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.

I've walked Ponto-cho several times before but on this visit was the first time I did at properly at night and it was like a different world. Feels like the Japan of old and a place where you can really feel Kyoto. It is a narrow alleyway filled with bars and restaurants all with lanterns outside plus the occasional wind chime and lots of wooden shutters. It's a great place to stop for a meal or drink but equally it's great just to be there.
