Beautiful night view
The 55-meter-tall wooden five-story pagoda is a symbol of Kyoto. Many people are thrilled to see its elegant form from the windows of the Shinkansen bullet train, thinking, "I've arrived in Kyoto!" The beautiful sight of the pagoda soaring against the night sky and its reflection in the pond is breathtaking. The dreamlike beauty created by the water's surface is a scene that you should definitely capture in your memory and record.

A majestic and historic temple complex stands tall.
The main hall and lecture hall stand in a straight line. Stroll through the temple grounds, enveloped in silence, and enjoy the contrast of light and shadow against the night sky.

After a night of sightseeing, enjoy a blissful bath to ensure you don't carry fatigue into the next day.
Immerse yourself in a large bathtub where you can stretch out your arms and legs, and relax your mind and body with your head resting on a bath pillow. Soak up to your shoulders in the hot water and let the day's fatigue slowly melt away. After your bath, improve circulation in the soles of your feet with a bamboo foot massager, and you'll be able to start your new day with surprisingly light steps the next morning.
