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.
