Pause for a moment of quiet contemplation in the spiritual surroundings of Hokongoin Temple. You just never know — the answers to a few of life's most pressing questions may be lying behind its doors.

This place of worship is often on the itineraries of travelers to Ukyo Ward. But Hokongo-in Temple isn't the area's only drawcard. Kiyomizu Temple, Nijō Castle, and Kyoto Imperial Palace are some other interesting sights nearby.

Soraniwa Terrace Kyoto Bettei was the friendliest stay that we had in Japan. The folks at the hotel were super welcoming and the amenities in the room made it feel like home. The onsen in the room is a luxury unheard of elsewhere and is perfect after long days exploring Kyoto.
