Name: Hotel New Hankyu Kyoto
Price range: $48

Enjoy a more relaxed pace of sightseeing — and perhaps even tap into your spiritual side — at Shorinji Temple. If you're able to venture inside, why not stop for a moment or two of quiet contemplation?

This place of worship is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Higashiyama Ward. But Shorinji Temple isn't the only highlight in the area. Kiyomizu Temple, Nijō Castle, and Kyoto Imperial Palace are some other worthwhile sights nearby.
