Enjoy a slower pace of sightseeing — and perhaps even tap into your spiritual side — at Koetsu-ji Temple. If you're able to go inside, why not hang around for a few minutes of quiet meditation?
You'll find this place of worship in Kita Ward. Once you've done everything you can at Koetsu-ji Temple, head to nearby Kiyomizu Temple, Nijō Castle, and Kyoto Imperial Palace.
