Whether it's because of their spiritual significance, impressive architecture or fascinating history, temples usually feature on the to-do lists of many travelers. Joganji Temple is a well-known religious attraction you shouldn't miss.

This place of worship is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Nagaokakyo. But Joganji Temple isn't the only drawcard in the area. Katsura Imperial Villa, Saihoji Temple, and Kyoto Racecourse are some other interesting sights nearby.

8/10 Very Good! (158 reviews)

This hotel is in an apartment building, floors 4-8. We booked this hotel because we were looking for a location semi near the Itami airport for an early morning flight. Unfortunately, this hotel is in a NO taxi pick up area!!! Something we really wish we knew before booking.

Look how fancy is their tasting room. I wouldn't mind spending all day drinking whisky. I couldn't agree more they're the best single malt of 2014. Cheers!
