Whether it's because of their spiritual significance, beautiful design or fascinating history, temples often feature on the to-do lists of many travelers. Mibu-dera is a well-known religious attraction you can't miss.

Located in Central Kyoto, this place of worship is well worth a visit. But you'll find tons more to see and do in this area. Kiyomizu Temple, Nijō Castle, and Kyoto Imperial Palace aren't too far from Mibu-dera.
