Kyoto Quotes

Standart top banner.

I made a photograph of a garden in Kyoto, the Zen garden, which is a rectangle. But a photograph taken from any one point will not show, well it shows a rectangle, but not with ninety degree angles.

The Kyoto treaty has an estimated cost of between US$150 and $350 billion a year, starting in 2010.

We think that the Kyoto protocol is a necessary document, necessary process. I am convinced that we will agree to disagree about substance.

On big issues like war in Iraq, but in many other issues they simply must be multilateral. There's no other way around. You have the instances like the global warming convention, the Kyoto protocol, when the U.S. went its own way.

The obvious issue is providing clean drinking water and sanitation to every single human being on earth at the cost of little more than one year of the Kyoto treaty.

To put that into some perspective, when Bill Clinton and Al Gore had first taken the idea of the Kyoto Protocol up to the Congress, the United States Senate voted it down 95 to nothing.

Whether the process proves to be Kyoto or something else, let's acknowledge the urgency of global warming.

The Administration should never have walked away from the Kyoto Treaty. Global warming is real and it is here today. The facts aren't the issue. The policy is the issue. I think the Administration's policy on global warming is dead wrong.

When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don't advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy.

The U.S. withdrawal from the Kyoto protocol endangers the entire process.

Some people think that our planet is suffering from a fever. Now scientists are telling us that Mars is experiencing its own planetary warming: Martian warming. This has led some people, not necessarily scientists, to wonder if Mars and Jupiter, non signatories to the Kyoto Treaty, are actually inhabited by alien SUV-driving industrialists.

Even in Kyoto/Hearing the cuckoo's cry/I long for Kyoto

Japan is the most intoxicating place for me. In Kyoto, there's an inn called the Tawaraya which is quite extraordinary. The Japanese culture fascinates me: the food, the dress, the manners and the traditions. It's the travel experience that has moved me the most.

Carbon dioxide does not cause or contribute to smog, and the Kyoto treaty would do nothing to reduce or prevent smog.

Tokyo may have more money and Kyoto more culture; Nara may have more history and Kobe more style. But Osaka has the biggest heart.

The seas need their own Kyoto Protocol.

The Kyoto treaty has failed, and it's failed even in Europe, which has had cap and tax since 2005.

It's just that to a lot of British people George Bush represents the worst of all things American. He's the right-wing Christian crusader, the toxic Texan who refused Kyoto, the poll-cheat eel who undermined democracy on the back of something called 'chads,' a notion we've never entirely grasped.

I loved the quiet places in Kyoto, the places that held the world within a windless moment. Inside the temples, Nature held her breath. All longing was put to sleep in the stillness, and all was distilled into a clean simplicity. The smell of woodsmoke, the drift of incense; a procession of monks in black-and-gold robes, one of them giggling in a voice yet unbroken; a touch of autumn in the air, a sense of gathering rain.

I'm not one of those to say Kyoto is not worth the paper it's printed on.

Between now and when we graduate next year there are at least ten weeks' holiday and five random public holidays. There's email and if you manage to get down to the town, there's text messaging and mobile phone calls. If not, the five minutes you get to speak to me on your communal phone is better than nothing. There are the chess nerds who want to invite you to our school for the chess comp next March and there's this town in the middle, planned by Walter Burley Griffin, where we can meet up and protest against our government's refusal to sign the Kyoto treaty." -Jonah Griggs

The challenge now is to renovate the baroque structure that the Kyoto Plan has become—or else scrap it and get ready to start all over.

The strategy behind the Kyoto Protocol has no grounding in economics or environmental policy.

The United States did not sign Kyoto, yet its emissions are not that different from the countries that did sign it.

✈ Best Travel Ressources To Plan Your Next Trip If you need help planning your next trip, don’t worry. I’ve got you covered! Here are my favourite websites and apps to plan a trip! ✈ How To Find Flights? My favourite website for booking flights is Skyscanner; it is a good comparator for finding the cheapest flights. Google Flight is also a good help when it comes to comparing flights. ✈ Where To Book Accommodations? The best sites to book accommodations are Booking.com or Expedia. They both allow you to collect points for a discount; it’s worth comparing the two as they often have different pricing for the same hotels. Another perk of Booking.com and Expedia is that you can sometimes get bundle deals for flights and accommodations, which can help you save a lot of money. ✈ Best Sites To Book Activities My go-to website when I need to book an activity is GetYourGuide when I can’t get a ticket directly on the website or if it’s easier to go through them. I always check if the price is the same, though, as the whole point is for it to be easier but not more expensive. You can also check out Klook if you need to book more than just activities and would like to get everything from the same website—(i.e. transport cards, car rental, hotel…). ✈ Other helpful travel resources – Radical Storage: If you need a place to keep your luggage for an extended period when you travel, I recommend using them. It was a great help when we needed a place to keep our luggage safely while we left the city for a few days. – TheTrainline : If you love to travel by train like me, then TheTrainline needs to be your go-to website for train travel in Europe. It is very reliant and easy to use. ————————————————————————————————————- Disclaimer: This resources box contains affiliate links, which means I earn a small commission if you book anything through my links at no additional cost.

“There are so many more people in Tokyo than in New York, but it’s pristine. It’s so organized, and yet the address system is in complete chaos.” – Nick Wooster

“I always had a sense that I would fall in love with Tokyo. In retrospect I guess it’s not that surprising.

馬鹿は死ななきゃ治らない。- “Unless an idiot dies, he won’t be cured.” Meaning: This Japanese phrase is a harsh way of saying, “Only death will cure a fool.” Or maybe, “You can’t fix stupid.”

弱肉強食 – “The weak are meat; the strong eat.” Meaning: It’s pretty obvious, which means something like “survival of the fittest.

海 千山 千 – “Ocean a thousand, mountain a thousand” Meaning: A reference to a cunning old fox, one who has seen everything and therefore can cope with any situation, usually with the help of cunning.

一 期 一 会 – “One life, one collision” Meaning: each collision is a meeting that happens only once in a lifetime. Sometimes used as a reminder to cherish every moment because you will only experience it once.

異文 同心 – “Different body, same mind.” Meaning: Refers to soul mates or like-minded people, which is a bit like calling someone “a brother from another mother.”

Japanese Philosophy Quotes

“I do think that japan will be one of the nations that have equality, and that, too, will serve as an example for other Asian nations.” – George Takei

If a problem can be solved, then it’s not worth worrying about. If it can’t be solved, then it’s useless to worry about it. It is better to be the enemy of a good person than the friend of a bad one.- Unknown

“If you took the city of Tokyo and turned it upside down and shook it you would be amazed at the animals that fall out: badgers, wolves, boa constrictors, crocodiles, ostriches, baboons, capybaras, wild boars, leopards, manatees, ruminants, in untold numbers. There is no doubt in my mind that that feral giraffes and feral hippos have been living in Tokyo for generations without seeing a soul.” – Yann Martel

“No other capital has been devastated so often and so spectacularly in any national cinema as Tokyo, from the gleeful abandon wrought by Godzilla to the post-apocalyptic nightmares of Otomo Katsuhiro’s animated epic, Akira.” – Ian Luna

“Wabi-sabi: in traditional Japanese aesthetics, Wabi-Sabi is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”.

Tokyo Quotes And Captions

“Here in tokyo they’re not just hard working but almost violently cheerful. Down at the peacock, the change flows like tap water. The women behind the registers bow to you, and i don’t mean that they lower their heads a little, the way you might if passing someone on the street. These cashiers press their hands together and bend from the waist. Then they say what sounds to me like “we, the people of this store, worship you as we might a god.” – David Seders

“Tokyo may have more money and Kyoto more culture; Nara may have more history and Kobe more style. But Osaka has the biggest heart.” – Vikas Swarup

“I love Chinese food, like steamed dim sum, and I can have noodles morning, noon and night, hot or cold. I like food that’s very simple on the digestive system – I tend to keep it light. I love Japanese food too – sushi, sashimi and miso soup.” – Shilpa Shetty

“It is useless to even try to answer the question I’ve been asked at least once a week over the past three years: ‘Okay, which are, hands down, the three best restaurants in Tokyo?’ Asking this question about Tokyo is like asking which three websites are the best on the internet.” – Cambay

14 things to know before visiting Kyoto

Dec 11, 2023 • 6 min read

Plan your trip to Kyoto with these tips on packing, where to stay and etiquette © anek.soowannaphoom / Shutterstock

Kyoto is the embodiment of traditional Japanese culture.

It's a place where authentic crafts are kept alive and historic temples and teahouses line the narrow streets. So perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s also a destination where etiquette can have a big part to play. 

Be ready for your visit with this rundown of some key things to know before going to Kyoto .

1. Tune in to the seasons

Kyoto is a very  seasonal destination , so plan your trip accordingly. The spring cherry blossom season is when the city is at its most photogenic but also its busiest. If you want to visit during this time, you’ll need to book accommodations a year or more in advance – expect to pay premium prices. The same is true of the fall foliage season, although not to quite the same degree. Summer sees the streets come to life with festivals, while winter is the quietest time in Kyoto. New Year is a big holiday in Japan, with many shops, restaurants, museums and other businesses closing between December 29 and January 3.

2. Think carefully about where you want to stay

Kyoto has plenty of great neighborhoods to choose from, but southern Higashiyama and downtown Kyoto are among the most convenient for sightseeing. In terms of accommodations, you can find everything from budget guesthouses to high-end international hotels. For a more authentic Japanese experience, consider spending a night in a ryokan inn, where you’ll sleep on futons on tatami mat floors with traditional meals served in your room.

3. Pack shoes you can slip on and off

When traveling in Kyoto, you’ll find yourself having to take your shoes on and off frequently, so choose your pairs wisely, and wear nice socks! Outdoor shoes are generally not worn in tatami mat rooms, people’s homes, or traditional temples, restaurants and ryokan inns. You can normally tell when you’re expected to take your shoes off because there will be a raised step where the flooring changes. You’ll see other people’s shoes lined up, and slippers may be set out for you to wear inside. Be aware that there’s usually a separate pair of slippers to wear in the bathroom – don’t forget to swap them back afterward!

4. Explore on foot

Not only is Kyoto a very walkable city, but navigating its streets on foot also enables you to discover lots of lesser-known but no less impressive spots. From tiny restaurants and bars with counter seats only to ancient shops specializing in wagashi sweets, tofu or local crafts, many of Kyoto’s most interesting locations aren’t in obvious places. You might come across picturesque shrines down tiny alleyways, find street stalls serving freshly baked mochi rice cakes or spot a kimono-clad maiko (apprentice geisha).

5. The city will probably be crowded

Kyoto is home to some of the most famous and beautiful sightseeing spots in Japan , and they attract large numbers of domestic and international tourists. Big-name attractions such as  Kinkaku-ji temple, the  Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and  Kiyomizu-dera temple are definitely worth visiting, but time your trip for the early morning or toward the end of the day to avoid the crowds. Similarly, when visiting the endless red torii gates of  Fushimi Inari-Taisha shrine, head farther up the mountain to find room to breathe.

6. Kyoto isn’t all temples and shrines

Kyoto is the spiritual heart of Japan, and with some 2000 temples and shrines to explore, you’d be forgiven for thinking that’s all the city has to offer. But there’s so much more to discover. Head to  Nishiki Market to sample top local cuisine, take an evening stroll around the atmospheric streets of  Gion and admire the mighty  Nijō-jō castle. Kyoto also has a wealth of prestigious museums to discover, plus pleasant parks and serene  walking paths .

7. Allow time to explore the wider region beyond

You could easily spend your entire trip in Kyoto city, but if you have time, broaden your itinerary to include day trips to other parts of the region. The surrounding prefecture has fantastic  hiking routes within easy reach that let you experience the area’s stunning natural scenery, as well as quieter temples such as  Kurama-dera and  Enryaku-ji . Smaller towns, such as coastal Kinosaki Onsen and green tea-loving Uji, are also great for a day out.

8. Mind your manners

Politeness is hugely important in Japanese society. Although tourists will be forgiven the occasional etiquette breach, it’s always best to be courteous. That means not talking too loudly on public transport, avoiding eating on the sidewalk and allowing room for others to pass on the narrow streets. Littering and cutting in line are seen as particularly rude. Smokers should take care to use the designated smoking areas, and many parts of the city are now no-smoking zones.

9. Pay in cash, but don't leave a tip

Tipping isn’t customary in Japan, and in fact, it can be seen as insulting. If you attempt to leave a tip, it will almost definitely be declined. As a side note, in most restaurants, you pay up at the front counter rather than at your table. Cash is far more commonly used than card payment, and you should place your money in the small tray provided rather than hand it directly to the cashier (this goes for shops, hotels and other locations, too). They will place your change in the same tray for you to pick up once the transaction is complete.

10. Geisha are not a tourist attraction

Lots of people hope to spot geisha – or geiko as they’re known in Kyoto – when visiting the historic Gion district. However, it’s important to be respectful when doing so. Any geiko you see will probably be on their way to an appointment and won’t appreciate being swarmed by strangers! Ask politely if it’s okay to take a photograph, rather than behaving like paparazzi.

11. Kyoto is an extremely safe city

Crime rates in Kyoto are low, the tap water is clean, and if you lose something, it will almost certainly be returned to you. It’s safe to walk the streets at night, even as a solo traveler, and the city is welcoming to LGBTIQ+ visitors. Of course, you should still exercise common sense during your stay and take the normal precautions that you would at home. If you need help, you’ll find police boxes (known as kōban ) on most intersections, although the police inside might not speak much English.

12. Watch out for bikes

Cycling is common in Kyoto, and it’s a convenient way to get around the city. Many people ride on the sidewalk, so keep an eye out when you’re walking or leaving shops and restaurants. If you hear a bell, someone behind you is probably trying to get past.

13. In an emergency, dial 119

In a medical emergency, dial 119 for the ambulance service (this is also the number for the fire department). Medical care in Kyoto is reasonably priced and of a high standard, although it is always advisable to take out travel insurance before your trip to ensure that you can receive treatment at a hospital or clinic should you need it. Police can be reached by dialing 110.

14. Earthquakes are common; serious earthquakes are not

Earthquakes are fairly frequent in Japan; however, most are low-intensity and cause little to no damage. You’ll find instructions in your accommodations about what to do in the unlikely event of a serious quake.

Kyoto Starts Here

When I first decided to tackle a round-up of things to do in Kyoto , I felt intimidated. Japan’s ancient capital, after all, is home to literally thousands of years of history, to say nothing its limitless contemporary appeal.

Now, as I take a second (which is to say new-and-improved) stab at a Kyoto itinerary, I’m as attuned to the fine details that make every moment spent here indispensable as I am mindful of how important it is to keep things concise. The goal of your Kyoto trip should be illumination, not domination, regardless of how long you expect to stay here, or how deep you plan to dig.

In line with this, I’ll be expounding upon my thoughts about how many days in Kyoto you should spend after talking you through my favorite Kyoto attractions and activities. No matter when you end up visiting Japan, I hope my Kyoto travel guide inspires you.

Where to Stay in Kyoto

Before I introduce you to things to do in Kyoto in a more thorough way, it’s helpful to discuss where you should set up shop. In general, I am of two minds when it comes to addressing this matter. On one hand, there’s value to staying in the heart of Higashiyama, particularly if it’s your first trip to Kyoto, and especially if you can afford a luxurious ryokan such as Seikoro Ryokan , or even a modest one like Ryokan Uemura .

On the other hand, not all the best ryokans in Kyoto are in Higashiyama, nor are they expensive. Ryokan Kyoraku , which is just 15 minutes by foot from Kyoto Station, perfectly illustrates this. There’s also a case to be made for staying in city hotels along Karasuma-dori, such as Hotel Resol Kyoto Kawaramachi or Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo , whether to save money, avoid crowds or simply for the utility of public transportation in that area.

How to Divide Up Your Trip to Kyoto

Get lost in kyoto’s historic center.

Want to see the best temples in Kyoto ? While some lie outside of Higashiyama (namely the Golden Pavilion of Kinkaku-ji in Kita ward), the vast majority can be seen by following what I call the “temple trail.” After starting way up north at the Silver Pavilion of Ginkaku-ji , walk down the Philosopher’s Path to Nanzen-ji and Eikando , veering off slightly to visit Hei-an Shrine before continuing past Chion-in and Kodai-ji into Maruyama Park . This will allow you to walk up Ninenzaka slope to reach Kiyomizu-dera for sunset, and back down it to look for Geisha in Gion after nightfall.

Whatever you do, make sure not to skip the west side of the Kamo River , where you’ll find the Shimogyo and Nagakyo wards. These areas are home not only to well-known sites such as Nijo Castle and the Kyoto Imperial Palace, but also Nishiki Market , which is known as the “Kitchen of Kyoto.” Beyond these, plenty of small, historic streets to get lost within, whether you’re on the hunt for forlorn temples or just want to see beautiful examples of iconic Machiya houses.

Explore Arashiyama beyond the bamboo forest

Temples are among my favorite things to do in Kyoto, but they’re not the only game in town. On the other hand, while Sagano Bamboo Grove , Iwatayama Park and the lush banks of the Hozu River make Arashiyama a paradise for nature lovers, there’s plenty of culture here as well. Have a cup of matcha amid the well-manicured private garden of Okochi-sanso Villa , or enter the bamboo forest through Tenryu-ji , another example of a Kyoto temple outside of Higashiyama that it very much worth visiting. Remember the Kinkaku-ji, the Golden Pavilion? You can visit on on your way back to Kyoto, by stopping at Emmachi station.

Chase a Fushimi Inari hike with a sake tour

Searching for the famous Kyoto orange gates? You’ll find those at Fushimi Inari Shrine , a short walk from both JR Inari Station and Fushimi-Inari Station of the Keihan Railway . Fushimi is much more than its shrine, however, whether you tour its many picturesque sake breweries, or visit Fushimi Momoyama , and underrated and under-visited castle that is especially beautiful during cherry blossom season. In spite of the ubiquity of the taisha among foreign tourists, in fact, I think you’ll find that most of Fushimi-ku sits well off Kyoto’s beaten path!

See charming cherry blossoms or appreciate autumn colors

Literally all things to do in Kyoto are more beautiful in early April, when the sakura are blooming , and in late November as autumn’s colors reach their most brilliant blaze. In addition to spots I’ve mentioned so far, which are all gorgeous in their own ways at this time of year, I particularly love enjoy hanami on the banks of the Kamo River just west of Higashiyama , and relishing the abundant red maple leaves of temples like Daigo-ji and Tofuku-ji , which is just one stop south of Kyoto Station by train, or a 20-minute walk away if you’re up for it.

TIP: If you can’t come to Kyoto in spring or autumn but still want to enjoy a seasonal spectacular, come in July for the annual Gion Matsuri , one of the great summer festivals of Japan !

Get out of town—if you can pry yourself away

The topic of day trips from Kyoto is at once a popular and controversial one. On one hand, they are as large in number as they are high in quality, whether you traipse amid the tea fields of Uji , or eat world-class wagyu in underrated Kobe , on the “other side” of Osaka, and between Osaka and Himeji Castle . On the other hand, there’s so much to do in Kyoto (especially if it’s your first time), that even reaching relatively close destinations (I’m thinking Hikone Castle on the eastern shore of Lake Biwa , or even Kurama-dera , literally just north of Kyoto’s city limits) can be too much to ask.

How Many Days Should You Spend in Kyoto?

The topic of how many days in Kyoto is one I’ve breached many times, most notably in my popular 2 days in Kyoto post on this very website. However, as is the case for Tokyo , I don’t think the answer to this question is one-size-fits-all. How long you spend in Kyoto depends as much upon what you plan to accomplish in Japan’s former capital (and whether you’ve been here before) as it does how long you expect to spend in the rest of Japan, and in which places.

For example, if you’ve visited before and have knocked off most things to do in Kyoto and only have two weeks in Japan this time, you might just spend a night or two here, particularly if your itinerary includes other historical cities, such as Kanazawa . If, on the other hand, you’re spending a month in Japan (or longer) and it’s your maiden voyage to the country, four or five days in Kyoto (or longer) may very well be in order.

Other FAQ About Planning a Kyoto Itinerary

What should i not miss in kyoto.

When you come to Kyoto, make sure not to miss the diversity of sights and experience. Kyoto is as much about the lush forests of Arashiyama and mysterious shrines (and sake breweries !) of Fushimi as it is about the enchanting temples of Higashiyama. Likewise, if you visit Kyoto when the cherry blossoms or autumn colors are near their peak, you can’t miss hanami or koyo experiences.

Is 4 days in Kyoto enough?

4 days is an excellent amount of time to spend in Kyoto. This will give you a full day each in Higashiyama, Arashiyama and Fushimi, plus the opportunity to take at least one day trip, whether to deer-filled Nara , sacred Mt. Koya or magnificent Himeji Castle in Hyogo prefecture. Alternatively, if you’ve seen Kyoto’s main sights on a previous trip, spending four days here upon your return to Japan will empower you to dig deep.

Where should I stay in Kyoto for the first time?

I personally love staying right in the hear of Higashiyama, although other locations are more logistically advantageous. For example, staying along Karasuma-dori, Kyoto’s main north-south thoroughfare, centrally situates you for sightseeing, particularly if you’re anywhere near the intersections with Gojo, Shijo and Sanjo roads, which connect to Higashiyama and Gion via bus and rail.

The Bottom Line

My Kyoto travel guide is not exhaustive, but it is instructive. Rather than attempting to see “everything” in Kyoto in a single trip, whether it’s your first or 50th, focus instead of optimizing your enjoyment as much as the number of places you visit. Given Kyoto’s long history, the city will likely be with us for at least another few centuries—it’s not going anywhere. Use what you missed during a given trip to Kyoto as inspiration for your next one! Speaking of which, the time is drawing closer when it will be possible to enter Japan again, as the coronavirus pandemic recedes. Hire me to plan your trip to Japan , both in Kyoto (my current home) and elsewhere throughout the country.

Famous Quotes About Japan

1. “ One glass of water doesn’t equal another. One may just appease the thirst, the other you may enjoy thoroughly. In Japan, people know about this difference.” — Jil Sander

2. “One thing living in Japan did for me was to make me feel that what is left out of a work of art is as important as, if not more important than, what is put in.” — Katherine Paterson

3. “Japan is the most intoxicating place for me. The Japanese culture fascinates me: the food, the dress, the manners and the traditions. It’s the travel experience that has moved me the most.”  — Roman Coppola

4. “Japan’s very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don’t think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things. They will get something that’s already been invented and study it until they thoroughly understand it. In some cases, they understand it better than the original inventor.” — Steve Jobs

5. “What do Japanese artisans, engineers, Zen philosophy, and cuisine have in common? Simplicity and attention to detail.” — Hector Garcia

6. “In Japanese, Ikigai is written by combining the symbols that mean “life” with “to be worthwhile.” — Hector Garcia

7. “There’s an ancient saying in Japan, that life is like walking from one side of infinite darkness to another, on a bridge of dreams. They say that we’re all crossing the bridge of dreams together. That there’s nothing more than that. Just us, on the bridge of dreams.” — Matthew Tobin Anderson

8. “The Japanese see self-assertion as immoral and self-sacrifice is the sensible course to take in Life.” — Akira Kurosawa

9. “In Japanese, we have a word for those feelings that are too deep for words: Yugen. Yugen gives us a profound sense of the beauty and mystery of the universe.” — Dr Qing Li

10. “The whole of Japan is a pure invention. There is no such country, there are no such people. The Japanese people are simply a mode of style, an exquisite fancy of art.” — Oscar Wilde

11. “Many Japanese people never really retire—they keep doing what they love for as long as their health allows.” — Hector Garcia

12. “In Japan, a number of time-honored everyday activities (such as making tea, arranging flowers, and writing) have traditionally been deeply examined by their proponents. Students study how to make tea, perform martial arts, or write with a brush in the most skillful way possible to express themselves with maximum efficiency and minimum strain. Through this efficient, adroit, and creative performance, they arrive at art. But if they continue to delve even more deeply into their art, they discover principles that are truly universal, principles relating to life itself. Then, the art of brush writing becomes shodo—the “Way of the brush”—while the art of arranging flowers is elevated to the status of kado—the “Way of flowers.” Through these Ways or Do forms, the Japanese have sought to realize the Way of living itself. They have approached the universal through the particular.” — H.E. Davey

13. “In Japan, and to some degree other Asian countries, people have historically focused mental strength in the hara (abdomen) as a way of realizing their full potential. Japan has traditionally viewed the hara as the vital center of humanity in a manner not dissimilar to the Western view of the heart or brain. I once read that years ago Japanese children were asked to point to the origin of thoughts and feelings. They inevitably pointed toward the abdominal region. When the same question was asked of American children, most pointed at their heads or hearts. Likewise, Japan and the West have commonly held differing views of what is physical power or physical health, with Japan emphasizing the strength of the waist and lower body and Western people admiring upper body power. (Consider the ideal of the sumo wrestler versus the V-shaped Western bodybuilder with a narrow waist and broad shoulders.)

However, East and West also hold similar viewpoints regarding the hara, and we’re perhaps not as dissimilar as some might imagine. For instance, hara ga nai hito describes a cowardly person, “a person with no hara.” Sounds similar to our saying that so-and-so “has no guts,” doesn’t it?” — H.E. Davey

14. “But if you ask what this spirit is;

They give that cough and say;

‘The Spirit of Japan is the Japanese Spirit,’

Then they walk away;

And when they’ve walked ten yards or so;

They clear their throats of phlegm;

And that clearing sound is the Japanese spirit;

Manifest in them.” — Natsume Sōseki

15. “We Orientals tend to seek our satisfactions in whatever surroundings we happen to find ourselves, to content ourselves with things as they are; and so darkness causes us no discontent, we resign ourselves to it as inevitable. If light is scarce, then light is scarce; we will immerse ourselves in the darkness and there discover its own particular beauty. But the progressive Westerner is determined always to better his lot. From candle to oil lamp, oil lamp to gaslight, gaslight to electric light—his quest for a brighter light never ceases, he spares no pains to eradicate even the minutest shadow.” — Junichirō Tanizaki

16. “One must learn, if one is to see the beauty in Japan, to like an extraordinarily restrained and delicate loveliness.” — Mary Ritter Beard

Quotes About Japan And Nature

17. “When you look at Japanese traditional architecture, you have to look at Japanese culture and its relationship with nature. You can actually live in a harmonious, close contact with nature – this very unique to Japan.” — Tadao Ando

18. “Above a certain size and level of prosperity, regional cities in Japan look alike. To discover what makes each one different, one has to sample the food and the sake, and stay long enough to see the patterns of life under the surface. Otherwise it can be hard to tell them apart. Wealth tends to smooth out the differences in the way people live. Life becomes standardized.

Only in nature, in the mountains and valleys beyond the hand of man, are the real differences, the real uniqueness, preserved. There is something about the air in Hokkaido, a kind of richness that will never change. For better or worse, the only thing that really changes is people.” — Miyuki Miyabe

19. “I love Mount Fuji and I think it is my love of the mountains in Japan that led me to seek other mountains around the world.” — Tamae Watanabe

20. “The Japanese are a forest civilization. Their culture, philosophy and religion are carved out of the forests that blanket the country – not to mention all manner of everyday things, from houses and shrines to walking sticks and spoons.” — Dr Qing Li

21. “Experience nature, and in doing so learn about yourself.” — Japanese Proverb

22. “Japan, not only a mega-busy city that thrives on electronics and efficiency, actually has an almost sacred appreciation of nature. One must travel outside of Tokyo to truly experience the ‘old Japan’ and more importantly feel these aspects of Japanese culture.” — Apolo Ohno

23. “You know, when people familiar with the mountains enter the wilds, they often look for a branch that stands out, break it to mark their tracks. It’s useful on the way back. It’s called a shiori, a folded branch, just like the word for bookmark. It is written differently but is pronounced the same.” — Kanji Hanawa

24. “But like so many things in Japan, behind the façade lay another view. So it was only after I had hiked into the woods far from the bridge that I found a fluttering world of persimmon, ocher, scarlet, and cabernet secreted away in a mossy garden of curving stone paths. When it began to rain, the colors deepened and the leaves, shaped like a baby’s hands, spiraled down onto the plush green carpet and sleek dark rocks.” — Victoria Abbott Riccardi

25. “Beauty and health without medicine or cosmetics – no wonder onsen bathing is so popular. In Europe as well as Japan, hot springs are known as ‘the foundations of youth’ because of their abilities to rejuvenate and restore.” — Dr Qing Li

Quotes About Japanese Culture

26. “Japan likewise put her hopes of victory on a different basis from that prevalent in the United States. (…) Even when she was winning, her civilian statesmen, her High Command, and her soldiers repeated that this was no contest between armaments; it was pitting of our faith in things against their faith in spirit.” — Ruth Benedict

27. “In traditional Japanese Aesthetics, Wabi-Sabi is a world view centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The Aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is imperfect, impermanent and incomplete.” — Unknown

28. “The neck is kind of what’s sexy in Japan, so you have to have the kimono a little bit back. It was just a whole different way of appealing to what was sexy.” — Lucy Liu

29. “Shinju in Japanese literally means “inside the heart.” More fully, it implies that if the heart were cut open, there would be found only devotion to one’s lover; thus, “revealing-the-heart death.” — Jack Seward

30. “The only difference between having an affair here and having an affair there was that the Americans have not seen ways ended up losing half of his estates over a woman he was infatuated just as much as the next tramp who would come his way, while Japanese men would only earn more respect from their subordinates through the possession of much younger women, as a sign of prowess and affluence, while their wives at home, as if there were rule books distributed nationally on the “proper” marriage etiquette for all young Japanese women to read before they enter into the matrimony, would turn a blind eye on their disloyalty quietly.” — Vann Chow

31. “Japan never considers time together as time wasted. Rather, it is time invested.” — Donald Richie

32. “Three things matter in life – sumo, business, and war. Understand one, you know them all. But why should Geisha care? You spend your time plucking strings and dancing.” — Arthur Golden

33. “Why has pachinko swept Japan? It can hardly be the excitement of gambling, since the risks and rewards are so small. During the hours spent in front of a pachinko machine, there is an almost total lack of stimulation other than the occasional rush of ball bearings. There is no thought, no movement; you have no control over the flow of balls, apart from holding a little lever which shoots them up to the top of the machine; you sit there enveloped in a cloud of heavy cigarette smoke, semi-dazed by the racket of millions of ball bearings falling through machines around you. Pachinko verges on sensory deprivation. It is the ultimate mental numbing, the final victory of the educational system.” — Alex Kerr

34. “In Japanese culture, there is a belief that God is everywhere – In mountains, trees, rocks, even in our sympathy for robots or hello kitty toys.” — Ryuichi Sakamoto

35. “If you are a Westerner and you spend enough time in Japan—and you speak Japanese—you will eventually be told that you cannot truly understand the Japanese. Only the Japanese can understand themselves.” — Marie Mutsuki Mockett

36. “One of the things I discovered in Japan was from watching sumo wrestling. In the end, you can never tell who has won the fight, and who has lost because they do not show their emotion because it could embarrass the loser. It is unbelievable. That is why I try to teach my team politeness. It is only here in England that everybody pokes their tongue out when they win.” — Arsene Wenger

37. “Japanese are one of the most punctual people he had ever worked with. They could, he imagined, put the Germans to shame in their high expectation for timeliness.” – Vann Chow

38. “It is not for Geisha to want. It is not for Geisha to feel. Geisha is an artist of the floating world. She dances. She sings. She entertains you. Whatever you want. The rest is shadows. The rest is secret.” — Arthur Golden

39. “Whereas in the west, individuality and drive are considered positive qualities, they have not seen the same way, in Japan. In that country, if you are too much of a rugged individualist, it might actually indicate that you are a weak, unreliable character and that you are selfish, in a childish, willful kind of way.” — Alexei Maxim Russell

40. “What they have done in Japan, which I find so inspirational, is they’ve brought the toilet out from behind the locked door. They’ve made it conversational. People go out and upgrade their toilet. They talk about it. They’ve sanitized it.” — Rose George

41. “There is an expression in Japanese that says that someone who makes things of poor quality is in fact worse than a thief because he doesn’t make things that will last or provide true satisfaction. A thief at least redistributes the wealth of a society.” — Andrew Juniper

42. “At this point, I came across one of the vending machines that only Japan has. I have to admit that I love the whimsical items sold in such appliances, like all sorts of junk food, beer cans, whisky bottles and even underwear. This particular machine sold both whisky and underwear, which truly is a bizarre combination, or maybe not, considering all the underwear were female panties. It was, therefore, my theory that older men would come by and buy the whisky, and then when they were drunk and young women passed by, the men would then offer them panties as gifts for sexual favours. Ya, it all made perfect sense to me.” ― Andrew James Pritchard

43. “When doing business in Japan, process, manners, and how you work on something is more important than the final results.” — Hector Garcia

44. “In Japan, and to some degree other Asian countries, people have historically focused mental strength in the hara (abdomen) as a way of realizing their full potential. Japan has traditionally viewed the hara as the vital center of humanity in a manner not dissimilar to the Western view of the heart or brain. I once read that years ago Japanese children were asked to point to the origin of thoughts and feelings. They inevitably pointed toward the abdominal region.

45. “Bathing just once in this hot spring in Shimane prefecture in Tamatsukuri will clear your skin, and continued bathing will cure all your aches and pains. Given such positive results without exception since long ago, people call it the water of the gods.” — Izumi no Kuni Fudoki

46. “In Japan, food filters into every aspect of the culture.” — Bee Wilson

47. “In Japan, we have the phrase, “Shoshin,” which means “beginner’s mind.” Our “original mind” includes everything within itself. It is always rich and sufficient within itself. This does not mean a closed mind, but actually an empty mind and a ready mind. If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything. It is open to everything. In the beginner’s mind, there are many possibilities; in the expert’s mind there are few.” — Shunryu Suzuki

48. “It’s a saying they have, that a man has a false heart in his mouth for the world to see, another in his breast to show to his special friends and his family, and the real one, the true one, the secret one, which is never known to anyone except to himself alone, hidden only God knows where.” — James Clavell

49. “There’s nothing in Chinese culture that is equivalent of the geisha. It’s so different, so special to Japan.” — Zhang Ziyi

50. “Japan is quite weird because they wait for you to say something before they respond. You can literally hear a pin drop, they don’t make a sound until you say something to the crowd.” — Kelly Jones

51. “It is often said that the Japanese are extremely clean at home, or inside any house or office, but dirty and untidy outside. ‘Go and look at a railway station,’ I was told, ‘and you’ll be horrified.’ I went and was horrified; horrified by the cleanliness of the place.” — George Mikes

52. “Although there is no precise word for it in Japanese, a sort of “vicarious seppuku” was practiced during the Sengoku Jidai (The Era of Warfare) with the aim of saving the lives of many by the sacrifice of one life, often that of the most responsible person. For example, when Hideyoshi was warring with Mori Motonari, he decided to try to effect a reconciliation with the latter. At that time, Hideyoshi had under siege one of Mori’s castles, which was commanded by Shimizu Muneharu. Hideyoshi offered to spare the rest of the garrison if Lord Mori would have Shimizu commit seppuku, to which Mori agreed.

Connected to this episode is a moving example of junshi: On the eve of Shimizu’s seppuku, his favorite vassal Shirai sent a request that Shimizu visit his room. When Shimizu arrived, Shirai apologized for having his master visit his humble quarters and explained that he had wanted to reassure his master that seppuku was not difficult and that he, Shimizu, should not be concerned about what he would have to do on the morrow. So saying, Shirai bared his abdomen to show that he himself had completed the act of seppuku only a moment before Shimizu’s arrival. Shimizu gave Shirai his deepest thanks for his loyal devotion and assisted him in kaishaku, i.e., he beheaded him with his sword.” — Jack Seward

53. “In Paris the cashiers sit rather than stand. They run your goods over a scanner, tally up the price, and then ask you for exact change. The story they give is that there aren’t enough euros to go around. “The entire EU is short on coins.”

And I say, “Really?” because there are plenty of them in Germany. I’m never asked for exact change in Spain or Holland or Italy, so I think the real problem lies with the Parisian cashiers, who are, in a word, lazy. Here in Tokyo they’re not just hard working but almost violently cheerful. Down at the Peacock, the change flows like tap water. The women behind the registers bow to you, and I don’t mean that they lower their heads a little, the way you might if passing someone on the street. These cashiers press their hands together and bend from the waist. Then they say what sounds to me like “We, the people of this store, worship you as we might a god.” — David Sedaris

54. “Japan is a startling clash of the deeply traditional and the spiritual. The intensely current and the superficial. It’s ancient, but futuristic. Conservative, yet hedonistic. Sleek skyscrapers graze the clouds like trees seeking sun in a man-made rainforest. Their concrete foundations often fertilized by the bodies of locals run afoul of the yakuza. It’s a homogenous island nation with a quaint surface and a Twin Peaks underbelly. The polite, insular, and eerily innocuous, living symbiotically with the perverse, extroverted, and bizarre. Fashion-forward and fashion-retarded. You could make similar generalizations about most cultures of course, but Japan’s beautiful contrasts were better than most.” — Parker Choi

55. “In Japanese swordsmanship, it is not uncommon to speak of a unity of mind, body, and sword.” — H.E. Davey

56. “Do you remember my friend Fumiko Kobayashi? She loaned me a book by a university professor named Taki Sugiyama Lebra, Japanese Patterns of Behaviour, and she writes that death, particularly voluntary death, is surrounded in this country by a heroic, romantic, aesthetic and emotional aura. She says we often find it hard to communicate and use suicide to make our ideas, or beliefs, or sufferings known. I don’t know whether I believe that or not.” — James Trager

57. “After listening to a lot of these stories, I began to think that American loneliness is a completely different creature from anything we experience in this country, and it made me glad I was born Japanese. The type of loneliness where you need to keep struggling to accept a situation is fundamentally different from the sort you know you’ll get through if you just hang in there.” — Ryū Murakami

Quotes and Captions and Japan and Religion

58. “The main religions in Japan – Confucianism, Buddhism, and Shintoism – are all ones in which the rituals are more important than absolute rules.” — Hector Garcia

59. “The attitude toward food has also been affected by the two great religions that the Japanese follow. The majority of Japanese participate in two religions: Shinto and Buddhism. Shinto was the sole religion of the Japanese until the sixth century. It is a religion that relies heavily on ideas of purity, as well as on the presentation of food offerings to the deities. Buddhism, which complements Shinto and deals largely with the afterlife, has two ideas that affect food choice: simplicity and a reluctance to take life. These two religious orientations, which all Japanese share to a certain degree, reinforce one another in the realm of food.” — Michael Ashkenazi

60. “I am not a new age person, but I do believe in meditation, and for that reason, I have always liked the Buddhist religion. When I have been to Japan, I have been to Buddhist temples and meditated, and I found that rewarding.” — Clint Eastwood

62. “If your computer speaks English, it was probably made in Japan.” — Alan Perlis 

63. “The Dojo system in Japan is very unique. It prepared me not only for wrestling in the states and around the world, but it also prepared me for how to handle myself as an adult in the real world.” — Finn Balor.

64. “One thing living in Japan did for me was to make me feel that what is left out of a work of art is as important as, if not more important than, what is put in.” — Katherine Paterson

65. “Maitake mushrooms are known in Japan as ‘the dancing mushroom.’ According to a Japanese legend, a group of Buddhist nuns and woodcutters met on a mountain trail, where they discovered a fruiting of maitake mushrooms emerging from the forest floor. Rejoicing at their discovery of this delicious mushroom, they danced to celebrate.” — Paul Stamets

66. “The Japanese have two words: “uchi” meaning inside and “soto” meaning outside. Uchi refers to their close friends, the people in their inner circle. Soto refers to anyone who is outside that circle. And how they relate and communicate to the two are drastically different. To the soto, they are still polite and they might be outgoing, on the surface, but they will keep them far away, until they are considered considerate and trustworthy enough to slip their way into the uchi category. Once you are uchi, the Japanese version of friendship is entire universes beyond the average American friendship! Uchi friends are for life. Uchi friends represent a sacred duty. A Japanese friend, who has become an uchi friend, is the one who will come to your aid, in your time of need, when all your western “friends” have turned their back and walked away.” — Alexei Maxim Russell

67. “If it has not been invented in Japan, then it has not been invented anywhere else.” — Amelia Danver

68. “The method of producing comics in Japan is very hectic, but it’s also rewarding because it’s possible to do both the story and art all by yourself. In this way, it’s possible to bring out one’s individuality. If this idea appeals to you, I call on you to try drawing your own manga.” — Akira Toriyama

69. “The recipe to an unhappy life in Japan is to want to be Japanese if you are not. Anyone who wants to penetrate the country is setting itself up for tears and disappointment.” — Pico Iyer

70. “Japan knows the horror of war and has suffered as no other nation under the cloud of nuclear disaster. Certainly, Japan can stand strong for a world of peace.” — Martin Luther King Jr

71. “One widespread stereotype about people in Japan is that they’re exceptionally dedicated and hardworking, even though some Japanese people say they look like they’re working harder than they really are. There is no doubt, though, about their ability to be completely absorbed in a task, or about their perseverance when there is a problem to be solved. One of the first words one learns when starting Japanese lessons is ganbaru, which means “to persevere” or “to stay firm by doing one’s best.” Japanese people often apply themselves to even the most basic tasks with an intensity that borders on obsession. We see this in all kinds of contexts, from the “retirees” taking meticulous care of their rice fields in the mountains of Nagano to the college students working the weekend shift in convenience stores known as kobinis. If you go to Japan, you’ll experience this attention to detail firsthand in almost every transaction.” — Hector Garcia Puigcerver

72. “Listen, Ono, Japan is no longer a backward country of peasant farmers. We are now a mighty nation, capable of matching any of the Western nations. In the Asian hemisphere, Japan stands like a giant amidst cripples and dwarfs.” — Kazuo Ishiguro

75. “This may seem to labour the obvious, but in Japan, one meets intelligent people who claim that ‘logic’ is something invented in the West to allow Westerners to win discussions. Indeed, the belief is widespread that the Japanese can as happily do without logic now as they supposedly have for centuries past.” — Karel Van Wolferen

76. “A complete back tattoo, stretching from the collar of the neck down to the tailbone can take one hundred hours. Such extensive tattooing, then, became a test of strength, and the gamblers eagerly adopted the practice to show the world their courage, toughness, and masculinity. It showed, at the same time, another, more humble purpose – as a self-inflicted wound that would permanently distinguish the outcasts from the rest of the world. The tattooing marks the yakuza as misfits, forever unable or unwilling to adapt themselves to Japanese society.” — David E. Kaplan

77. “News from Japan doesn’t travel and hardly ever gets reported abroad. It is almost as if Japan’s winds do not travel far.” — Kanji Hanawa

78. “The method (of learning Japanese) recommended by experts is to be born as a Japanese baby and raised by a Japanese family, in Japan. And even then it’s not easy.” – Dave Barry

79. “Japan! everything in details perfection.” — Baris Gencel

80. “Japan learned from the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that the tragedy wrought by nuclear weapons must never be repeated and that humanity and nuclear weapons cannot coexist.” — Daisaku Ikeda

Kyoto Quotes and Captions

93. “I loved the quiet places in Kyoto, the places that held the world within a windless moment. Inside the temples, Nature held her breath. All longing was put to sleep in the stillness, and all was distilled into a clean simplicity. The smell of woodsmoke, the drift of incense; a procession of monks in black-and-gold robes, one of them giggling in a voice yet unbroken; a touch of autumn in the air, a sense of gathering rain.” — Pico Iyer

94. “The culture’s reverence for nature accentuates Kyoto’s innate beauty. Designs on fabric, pottery, lacquer, and folding screens depict swirling water, budding branches, and birds in flight. Delicate woodcuts and scrolls celebrate the moonlight, rain, and snow. Elegant restaurant dishes arrive with edible garnishes of seasonal flora.” — Victoria Abbott Riccardi

95. “I lose my breath, find it again. I don’t want to break this spell. I’m completely besotted. In love with Kyoto, with Japan. We come to the end, to the palace gates as they open… It’s beautiful. Truly beautiful. A golden crown.” — Emiko Jean

168. “Four years to the day after Fairchild’s 1908 gift of the trees to Washington’s schools, on March 27, 1912, Mrs. Taft broke dirt during the private ceremony in West Potomac Park near the banks of the Potomac River. The wife of the Japanese ambassador was invited to plant the second tree. Eliza Scidmore and David Fairchild took shovels not long after. The 3,020 trees were more than could fit around the tidal basin. Gardeners planted extras on the White House grounds, in Rock Creek Park, and near the corner of Seventeenth and B streets close to the new headquarters of the American Red Cross. It took only two springs for the trees to become universally adored, at least enough for the American government to feel the itch to reciprocate. No American tree could rival the delicate glamour of the sakura, but officials decided to offer Japan the next best thing, a shipment of flowering dogwoods, native to the United States, with bright white blooms.

Meanwhile, the cherry blossoms in Washington would endure over one hundred years, each tree replaced by clones and cuttings every quarter century to keep them spry. As the trees grew, so did a cottage industry around them: an elite group of gardeners, a team to manage their public relations, and weather-monitoring officials to forecast “peak bloom”—an occasion around which tourists would be encouraged to plan their visits. Eventually, cuttings from the original Washington, D.C, trees would also make their way to other American cities with hospitable climates. Denver, Colorado; Birmingham, Alabama; Saint Paul, Minnesota.” — Daniel Stone

169. “I put my phone away and stare out the window at Japan’s countryside, watching the scenery zip by at 320 kilometers per hour. Mount Fuji has come and gone, as have laundry on metal merry-go-racks, houses plastered with party signs, weathered baseball diamonds, an ostrich farm, and now, miles of rice paddy fields tended by people wearing conical hats and straw coats. Japan is dressed in her best this morning, sunny and breezy, with few clouds in the sky as accessories. It’s the first official day of spring. Cherry blossoms have disappeared in twists of wind or trampled into the ground. Takenoko, bamboo season, will begin soon.” — Emiko Jean

The first of these is the sub-area where the house or building is located, the second is the block it is on, and the third is the building number. And when these numbers are added together, the sum equals the percentage chance that you are never going to find the building you’re looking for.” — Tim Anderson

Cherry Blossoms in Tokyo / Quotes About Japan

198. “But Tokyo offers cat cafes, a commercial solution to the problem of wanting to commune with cats but being unwilling or unable to have one at home.

Iris’s favorite cat cafe is Nekorobi, in the Ikebukuro neighborhood. When I first heard about cat cafes, I imagined something like Starbucks with a cat on your lap. Wrong. Nekorobi is what you’d get if you asked a cat-obsessed kid to draw a floorplan of her dream apartment: a bathroom, a drink vending machine(free with admission), a snack table, video games, and about ten cats and their attendant toys, scratching posts, beds, and climbing structures. Oh, and the furniture is in the beanbag chic style.

Considering all the attention they get, the cats were amazingly friendly, and I’d never seen such a variety of cat breeds up close. (Nor have I ever spent more than ten seconds thinking about cat breeds.) My favorite was a light gray cat with soft fur, which curled up and slept near me while I sat on a beanbag and read a book. Iris made the rounds, drinking a bottomless cup of the vitamin-fortified soda C.C. Lemon and making sure to give equal time to each cat, including the flat-faced feline that looked like it had beaned with a skillet in old-timey cartoon fashion.” — Matthew Amster-Burton

199. “I always had a sense that I would fall in love with Tokyo. In retrospect I guess it’s not that surprising. I was of the generation that had grown up in the ’80s when Japan was ascendant (born aloft by a bubble whose burst crippled its economy for decades), and I’d fed on a steady diet of anime and samurai films.” – Junot Diaz

Quotes About Japan

204. “Working in Tokyo has convinced me that, contrary to what people think, it is actually one of the world’s most beautiful cities.” — Tadao Ando

205. “Japan, and Tokyo in particular has been my muse for decades. Every trip brings a little more depth to my understanding of this complex, multi-layered city. But it is enormous, and spatially in can be confusing, particularly when you travel mostly underground. A more manageable way of comprehending Tokyo is to think of it as a number of smaller cities merged into one – Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Ginza…Each one has its own feel, its own personality.” — Michael Ryan, Luke Burgess

206. “Tokyo is a very safe city. At night it becomes quiet the way New York never does.” — Rick Kennedy

Quotes About Japanese Women

213. “Psychologically, Japanese women depend largely on each other. In their sex-segregated society, they could be criticized for living in a female ghetto, and yet they have what some American feminists are trying to build, a ”women’s culture” with its own customs, values and even language.” — Kittredge Cherry

214. “In a direct confrontation, the Japanese women might yield like blades of grass and spring back just as quickly. One of them compared this flexibility to the Vietcong guerrillas.” ― Kittredge Cherry

215. “When Japanese women encouraged men to bask in public glory, it reminded me of the way you would indulge a child with a sweet-bean treat.” — Kittredge Cherry

216. “These ideas fit the experience of these Japanese women who often talked about searching for or trying to develop “self” (jibun). Cultivating or polishing self by doing tea ceremony or being a good mother, for example, had a good connotation for the Japanese because it meant that you were trying to go beyond your narrow self and connect self with the larger world beyond social norms. But developing self in the new way these women used it meant to develop self according to just what you want to do or in a way that enhances your own possibilities in the world. Would others see choosing a life for self as selfish? These women had to maintain some ambiguity because they were wandering into dangerous territory when they wanted to travel just to enjoy themselves, or keep working and not marry. In a society that honored the cultivation of a larger self, would they themselves someday suffer for having chosen the self-centered way?” — Nancy Ross Rosenberger

Funny Quotes About Japan

217. “Why has Japan had so many conflicts and wars? Because they have lots of animes.”

218. “Of course, my Christmas is (so much more) gorgeous and romantic (than Germany’s)!! And unlike the rest of the world, we leave wine behind for Santa Claus! So Santa-san is delivering gifts to children while driving under the influence . . . ?” — Hidekaz Himaruya

219. “Have you heard what Japan have instead of alphabet soup? Times new ramen.”

220. “I’ve never really wanted to go to Japan. Simply because I don’t like eating fish. And I know that’s very popular out there in Africa.” — Britney Spears

221. “One of the reasons Japanese culture is so intriguing (and confounding) to westerners is not that it seems so foreign, but that it seems so familiar—at least at first. The packaging registers with our sensibilities, but the actual content does not. Innocent-looking anime characters sprout sudden porno appendages; morning chat shows digress into screaming fits; and musicians that dress like goth metalheads sound like fourth-tier Orlando boy-band members. Shinsaibashi has that same bewildering familiarity. Just as I convince myself that it’s another noisy mall, I’m nearly run down by a drunken bi- cyclist, and then accosted by a fuzzy store mascot.” — Brian Raftery

Quotes About Japan and Food

241. “In Japan, food filters into every aspect of the culture.” — Bee Wilson

242. “Dairy Chiko, in the basement of Nakano Broadway, is a surrealist ice cream shop known for octuple-decker soft-serve cones. You can also order a smaller cone with less than one billion calories, but the draw at Dairy Chiko is watching how other people eat their towering cones of vanilla, yuzu, milk tea, matcha, ramune, orange, strawberry, and chocolate (flavors may vary). Walking while eating is taboo in Japan, and Dairy Chiko has no seating area, so people loiter near the stand, two to a cone, drawing spoons up the sides of the ice cream, trying to forestall the inevitable. Old ladies, meanwhile, usually order a small matcha cone and eat it with a spoon, avoiding the shame of a green milk mustache. Near Dairy Chiko is a cafe with a public seating area and a very angry-looking drawing of an eight-layer cone with the international NO symbol superimposed on it.” — Matthew Amster-Burton

243. “Like families all over Japan, that morning we tucked into a special New Year’s breakfast soup called ozoni . Although recipes vary from region to region, they all contain mochi because the pounded rice dumplings symbolize the breaking of “bread” with the New Year’s deity Toshigami-sama. The rest of the ingredients in the soup, aside from the dashi base, vary according to what is fresh and regionally available. So around Hiroshima, for example, cooks add oysters, prawns, and saltwater eel caught from the nearby Inland Sea to their ozoni, while natives of Tokyo toss in nubbins of chicken, sliced fish cake, and spinach-like greens. For those living in Kyoto, the ozoni always includes lots of sweet white miso.” — Victoria Abbott Riccardi

244. “I was not prepared for the feel of the noodles in my mouth, or the purity of the taste. I had been in Japan for almost a month, but I had never experienced anything like this. The noodles quivered as if they were alive, and leapt into my mouth where they vibrated as if playing inaudible music.” — Ruth Reichl

245. “There are signs that the Japanese themselves consider their excellent cuisine as an essential part of what it means to be Japanese.” — Bee Wilson

Yakitori / Quotes About Japan and Food

246. “You’ll find that a lot of traditional sweets will include Anko – sweet red bean – and they are quite delicious. My favourite is Taiyaki – a fish-shaped sweet pancake, typically filled with Anko, but often with other fillings like chocolate, custard, or green tea cream. When they’re fresh and warm they are so amazing.” — Abby Denson

247. “Japan isn’t meat-crazed in the same way as the USA, but when the Japanese want meat, they want it as marbled as the Parthenon. The most popular topping for ramen is pork belly, streaked with fat, rolled up like pancetta and braised for hours in pork broth until fall-apart tender, then sliced into a perfect round.” — Matthew Amster-Burton

248. “Maitake Mushrooms are known in Japan as the dancing mushroom. According to a Japanese legend, a group of Buddhist nuns and woodcutters met on a mountain trail, where they discovered a fruiting of maitake mushrooms emerging from the forest floor. Rejoicing at their discovery of this delicious mushroom, they danced to celebrate.” — Paul Stamets

249. “The green sponge turned out to be fu  (wheat gluten), a high-protein Buddhist staple food often flavored with herbs and spices. The pink-and-yellow cigarette lighters turned out to be yogurts. The lime-green yo-yos were rice taffy cakes bulging with sweet white bean paste.

As for the vermilion-colored mollusks, they were a kind of cockle called blood clams (or arc shell) and, according to Tomiko, “delicious as sushi.” The jumbo green sprouts came from the daikon radishes and were “tasty in salads.” And the pebbly-skinned yellow fruit was  yuzu , an aromatic citrus with a lemony pine flavor that was “wonderful in soup.” — Victoria Abbott Riccardi

250. “Japan has somehow managed to achieve the ideal attitude to eating: an obsession with culinary pleasure that is actually conducive to health.” — Bee Wilson

251. “My husband and I went to Japan for our honeymoon, and you look at, like the presentation of the food, and it’s ridiculous. It looks like a Mondrian painting or something. Everything looks like a bunch of little hello kitty erasers when you eat a little bento box in Japan. It is so precise and beautiful and processed and neat.” – Ali Wong

252. “Of all the countries Fairchild had visited, Japan struck him as the most advanced on matters of horticulture. He learned about Japanese miniature gardens, the art of Japanese papermaking, and the superior qualities of Japanese fruits and vegetables that didn’t grow anywhere else in the world. Wealthy people introduced him to foods of affluence, like raw fish, seaweed, and a bean cheese they called tofu. He thought it impossible to eat with two narrow sticks held in one hand, but after a few tries, he got the feel for it.

It was in Japan that Fairchild picked up a yellow plum known as a loquat and an asparagus-like vegetable called udo. And a so-called puckerless persimmon that turned sweet in sake wine casks. One of the most unrecognized discoveries of Fairchild, a man drawn to edible fruits and vegetables, was zoysia grass, a rich green lawn specimen attractive for the thickness of its blades and its slow growth, which meant it required infrequent cutting.

And then there was wasabi, a plant growing along streambeds in the mountains near Osaka. It had edible leaves, but wasabi’s stronger quality was its bitter root’s uncanny ability to burn one’s nose. Wasabi only lasted in America until farmers realized that its close relative the horseradish root grew faster and larger and was more pungent than the delicate wasabi (which tends to stay pungent only fifteen minutes after it’s cut). Small American farms still grow Fairchild’s wasabi, but most of the accompaniment to modern sushi is in fact horseradish—mashed, colored, and called something it’s not.” — Daniel Stone

253. “Japan shows the extent to which food habits evolve.” — Bee Wilson

Omurice / Quotes About Japan and Food

254. “I often look ridiculous in Japan. There’s really no way to eat in Japan, particularly kaiseki in a traditional ryokan, without offending the Japanese horribly. Every gesture, every movement is just so atrociously wrong, and the more I try, the more hilarious it is.” — Anthony Bourdain

255. “Almost the only places in the world that have lower obesity averages than Japan are countries such as Ethiopia or North Korea where there is widespread hunger and food itself is scarce.” — Bee Wilson

256. “Finally, let’s talk about those Kit Kat bars. There is no flavor that can be embodied in Kit Kat form and sold in Japanese stores. Green tea. Black tea. Miso. Cherry blossom. Soy sauce. Toasted soybean powder ( kinako ). Chile. Orange. Melon. Only a few are available at any given time, and right now, evil geniuses at Nestlé are coming up with new flavors. I’d like to suggest okonomiyaki flavor, which would consist of a bag of assorted flavors (ginger, squid, mountain yam, egg) that could be combined in the proportions of your choice, just like a real okonomiyaki. Sauce and Kewpie mayo optional.

We bought a SkyTree orange Kit Kat, was a regular orange Kit Kat in a preposterously long box, and the Yubari melon Kit Kat, which tasted exactly like melon, was sold in a fancy gift box, and cost $200. Two-thirds of that is true.” — Matthew Amster-Burton

257. “Changing the way you eat is hard, but it can be done. Look at Japan.” — Bee Wilson

 Oden / Quotes About Japan and Food

258. “True, there’s an aisle devoted to foreign foods, and then there are familiar foods that have been through the Japanese filter and emerged a little bit mutated. Take breakfast cereal. You’ll find familiar American brands such as Kellogg’s, but often without English words anywhere on the box. One of the most popular Kellogg’s cereals in Japan is Brown Rice Flakes. They’re quite good, and the back-of-the-box recipes include cold tofu salad and the savory pancake okonomiyaki , each topped with a flurry of crispy rice flakes. Iris and I got mildly addicted to a Japanese brand of dark chocolate cornflakes, the only chocolate cereal I’ve ever eaten that actually tastes like chocolate. (Believe me, I’ve tried them all.).” — Matthew Amster-Burton

259. “I’ve long been a fan of Hi-Chew, the Japanese fruit chews, for their resilient texture and uncannily accurate fruit flavors: sour cherry, apple, grape, pickled plum, and especially mango, which is closer to the flavor of an actual tropical mango than most imported mangoes.” — Matthew Amster-Burton

260. “No, Ramen is not good for you. But in Japan, our favourite thing to do after drinking all night, especially in Sapporo where it is freezing cold, is to go to the Ramen place at two, three in the morning.” — Cary Fukunaga

Oyako Don / Quotes About Japan and Food

261. “Rice paddies climb the hillsides in wet, verdant staircases, dense woodlands trade space with geometric farmscapes, tiny Shinto shrines sprout like mushrooms in Noto forests. Villages seem to materialize from nowhere- wedged into valleys, perched atop hills, finessed into coastal corners. Pull over, climb out of your car, breathe deep for a taste of the finest air that will ever enter your lungs: green as a high mountain, salty and sweet, with just a whisper of decay in the finish.

Noto gained its reputation as the Kingdom of Fermentation because of this air. For most of its history, Noto was cut off from the rest of Japan, forced into a subsistence model that in many ways endures today. That was possible not only because of the bounty of Noto’s fertile environment of trees, grasslands, fresh water, and sea, but because the air is rich with humidity that encourages the growth of healthy bacteria, the building blocks of fermentation.” — Matt Goulding

262. “Japan has somehow managed to achieve the ideal attitude to eating: an obsession with culinary pleasure that is actually conductive to health.” — Bee Wilson

Kushikatsu / Quotes About Japan and Food

263. “The attitude toward food has also been affected by the two great religions that the Japanese follow. The majority of Japanese participate in two religions: Shinto and Buddhism. Shinto was the sole religion of the Japanese until the sixth century. It is a religion that relies heavily on ideas of purity, as well as on the presentation of food offerings to the deities. Buddhism, which complements Shinto and deals largely with the afterlife, has two ideas that affect food choice: simplicity and a reluctance to take life. These two religious orientations, which all Japanese share to a certain degree, reinforce one another in the realm of food.” — Michael Ashkenazi

264. “We were in Japan once where they had 30 kinds of green tea. I thought there was one.” — Billy Corgan

265. “Gyokuro is one of the highest quality (and most expensive) green teas in Japan. The major difference between the processes of growing gyokuro  and regular green tea is that the  gyokuro bushes are shaded with clod or reed screens for several weeks before harvesting, which gives the leaves a sweeter flavor and more intensely green color.” — Tetsu Kariya

Natto / Quotes About Japan and Food

266. “The Japanese must be doing something right in the way they eat, given that they live longer on average than people form any other nation.” — Bee Wilson

267. “There was also a peculiarly Japanese adaptation of things foreign. I first noticed this one rainy November evening when I stopped by Rub-a-Dub, a funky reggae watering hole located near the Pontocho, the city’s former red-light district now known for its restaurants, bars, and geisha teahouses. After ordering one of the bar’s famous daiquiris, I anticipated receiving an American-style rum-in-your-face daiquiri with an explosive citrus pucker. Instead, I was handed a delicate fruity drink that tasted more like a melted lime Popsicle. Over time I noticed other items had been similarly adapted. McDonald’s offered hamburgers with sliced pineapple and ham to satisfy Japanese women’s notorious sweet tooth. “Authentic” Italian restaurants topped their tomato-seafood linguini with thin strands of nori  seaweed, instead of grated Parmesan. And slim triangles of “real” New York-style  chizu-keki (cheesu-cakey) in dessert shops tasted like cream cheese-sweetened air.” — Victoria Abbott Riccardi

268. “Umami is the savoury meatiness in seaweed and miso and soy sauce. It is, to a large extent, the concept that enables Japanese cuisine to be healthy and attractive at the same time.” — Bee Wilson

269. “The concept of “delicious” was born in Japan in 1908 when a chemist called Ikeda discovered a “fifth taste” called umami that was neither bitter nor salty nor sweet nor sour but something more wonderful and compelling than any of these.” — Bee Wilson

270. “Noodles arrived in Japan with Buddhist monks from China in the Middle Ages, but until the twentieth century they tended to be made from buckwheat, or a mix of wheat and rice.”   — Bee Wilson

271. “Japanese cuisine did not change all at once but in stages.” — Bee Wilson

Osechi Ryori / Quotes About Japan and Food

272. “The real game, as I soon discover, is donburi .  Donburi , often shortened to  don , means “bowl,” and the name encapsulates a vast array of rice bowls topped with delicious stuff:  oyakodon  (chicken and egg),  unadon  (grilled eel),  tendon  (tempura). As nice as meat and tempura and eel can be, the  donburi  of yours and mine and every sensible person’s dreams is topped with a rainbow bounty of raw fish. Warm rice, cool fish, a dab of wasabi, a splash of soy- sushi, without the pageantry and without the price tag.

At Kikuyo Shokudo Honten you will find more than three dozen varieties of seafood  dons , including a kaleidoscopic combination of  uni , salmon,  ikura  (salmon roe), quail eggs, and avocado. I opt for what I’ve come to call the Hokkaido Superhero’s Special: scallops, salmon roe, hairy crab, and  uni . It’s ridiculous hyperbole to call a simple plate of food life changing, but as the tiny briny eggs pop and the sweet scallops dissolve and the  uni melts like ocean Velveeta, I feel some tectonic shift taking place just below my surface.” — Matt Goulding

273. “Changing the way you eat is hard, but it can be done. Look at Japan.” — Bee Wilson

Intrepid Scout's Favorite Quotes and Captions About Japan

Hi! Here are my favorite quotes about Japan. Let me know which ones are your favorite!

• “Japan’s very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don’t think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things. They will get something that’s already been invented and study it until they thoroughly understand it. In some cases, they understand it better than the original inventor.” — Steve Jobs
• “I love Japan. I love the collision of the modern and ancient worlds coming together in that place. It’s so high-tech and cool.” — John Lasseter
• “Experience nature, and in doing so learn about yourself.” — Japanese Proverb
• “The impact Japan has had on the modern world is enormous. It occupies less than 1/300 of the planet’s land area, yet at the height of its economic growth in the 1980s it wielded one-sixth of the planet’s economic might, and remains the third ranking economy in the world.” — Kenneth Henshall
• “In the 18th century Japan had the world’s largest city, and world’s most literate population.” — Kenneth Henshall
• “Tokyo may have more money and Kyoto more culture; Nara may have more history and Kobe more style. But Osaka has the biggest heart.” — Vikas Swarup
• “As my grandmother discovered long ago, the Japanese excel in cultivating nature. Their gardens come in numerous styles, including paradise gardens, dry-landscape gardens, stroll gardens, and tea gardens. Although each type has its own goal, tray all share the same principle: nature is manipulated to create a miniature symbolic landscape.

A paradise garden is meant to evoke the Buddhist paradise through the use of water dotted with stone “islands.” Dry-landscape gardens, usually tucked away in Zen temples, use dry pebbles and stones to create minimalist views for quiet contemplation. Stroll gardens offer changing scenes with every step, a pool of carp here, a mossy trail there, and a small bridge to link them both, while a tea garden provides a serene path to take you from the external world to the spiritual one of the teahouse.” — Victoria Abbott Riccard

• “You cannot call yourself a true geisha until you can stop a man in his tracks with a single look.” – Arthur Golden
• “Remember Chiyo, geisha are not courtesans, and we’re not wives. We sell our skills, not our bodies. We create another secret world, a place only of beauty. The very word “geisha” means artist, and to be a geisha is to be judged as a moving work of art.” — Arthur Golden
• “For me, creation can only come out of a certain kind of unhappiness. They say in Japan, this thing like the hungry spirit – the hungry mind – is what gets you going forward.” — Rei Kawakubo

Your Whirlwind 2-Day Kyoto Itinerary

When you’re a first-timer visiting Japan, you probably have Kyoto on your radar. With temples and shrines on every corner, geishas and tourists donning kimonos down Gion, bamboo forests, and ryokans to sleep in, visiting Kyoto will take you on a time-travel machine back to Medieval Japan. It’s the total opposite of ultra-modern, skyscraper-laden Tokyo…except Asakusa . I call Asakusa the Kyoto of Tokyo 🙂

Cecilio and I came back from an 11-night trip to Japan, with 5 nights in Tokyo , 2 nights in Kyoto, and 4 nights in Osaka (including a day trip to Nara ). While I honestly think you should stay in Kyoto for at least 3 nights, I understand that not everyone has the time to squeeze an extra day into their schedule. You probably have other priorities, and other cities in Japan you want to visit more.

We crammed a ton of things during our 2 days in Kyoto, so I slightly adjusted our itinerary for you, so you could see as much as you can in a limited amount of time without feeling super rushed.

But this requires you to arrive in Kyoto early morning, from wherever you are. I’m not a morning person, and Cecilio was figuring out how to transport our luggage from Tokyo to Kyoto (Yes, this is actually a thing in Japan where you can get your luggage transported anywhere in the country, and it was a huge life-saver), and we had to transfer multiple trains to the Shinkansen (bullet train). The distance between Tokyo and Kyoto is about 2–3 hours through the Shinkansen, and we arrived in Kyoto at 3 pm. So yeah, our itinerary was pretty jam-packed.

Without further ado, here’s your 2-day Kyoto itinerary!

Nishiki Market

Nishiki tenmangu, window shopping and dinner at shinkyogoku and teramachi shopping street, visit fushimi inari at night, gion district, kodai-ji temple, arashiyama bamboo grove, dinner at ichiran, if you want to stay an extra night…, where to stay in kyoto, are 2 days in kyoto enough, what is kyoto best known for, to wrap it up, love what you read share the love, and pin away, your 2-day kyoto itinerary.

This little indoor marketplace is Kyoto’s version of Tokyo’s Tsukiji Fish Market. While they do sell some fish, they specialize in snacks, street foods, desserts, and kitchenware. Nishiki Market is over 400 years old but didn’t get its official trademarked name until 2005. I recommend visiting early for lunch, since most shops and stalls close early…like as early as 7 pm.

If you are a Peanuts fan, you have to check out Snoopy Cha-ya, a cute Peanuts-themed cafe serving Snoopy and Woodstock curry and bento boxes, along with souvenirs!

At the end of Nishiki Market is the small Shinto shrine Nishiki Tenmangu, a Shinto Shrine dedicated to learning and academia. The shrine pays homage to Sugawara no Michizane , a scholar, poet, and politician during the Heian Period . He became regarded as the God of Learning, and many students visit this shrine to pray or receive luck before taking exams.

For more leisurely strolls, head over to Shinkyogoku and Teramachi Shopping Streets, both of which intersect Nishiki Market. Both are lined with souvenir shops, cafes, sit-down restaurants, and izakayas. These two shopping streets can get pretty crowded throughout the day as they are popular hangout spots for teens and younger adults.

You may have heard of Japan’s popular cat cafes, but Shinkyogoku has a mini pig cafe called mipig cafe , and an owl cafe called Kyoto no Fukurou no Mori (which translates to “owl forest”).

While a lot of eateries close pretty early on both shopping streets, Cecilio and I were still able to get dinner at 8:30 pm. I can’t for the life of me remember the name of the restaurant, and I checked EVERYWHERE. But we had delicious shrimp, beef, and squid skewers, and I had a to-die-for salmon sashimi rice bowl with roe (so it was almost like a Hawaiian poke bowl).

No trip to Kyoto is complete without walking through Fushimi Inari-taisha, the famous shrine lined with thousands of vermillion-painted torii (traditional Japanese Shinto gates) leading to Mt. Inari, which is 764 feet above sea level. I recommend going at night since it’s a lot less crowded. There are still a decent amount of people, but I’ve heard it gets packed like sardines during the day.

Visiting Fushimi Inari at night is a little bit eerie, but that’s also what makes it special. It’s peaceful and mysterious. You probably won’t be able to hike to Mt. Inari unless you have a headlamp, since it’s a 2–3 hour trek. But Fushimi Inari lights up at night with its soft, warm glow thanks to the lanterns, and there are a few shrines in between that break up the rows of torii.

Fushimi Inari is free and is open 24/7.

Hope you get a good rest and breakfast. Buckle up, this is going to be the more jam-packed part of your 2-day Kyoto itinerary!

Gion is Kyoto’s most famous street, known as the geisha district. The geishas work in and around the teahouses in Gion, performing dances, singing, games, and tea ceremonies. Contrary to popular belief, geishas are not prostitutes. That would be the oiran during the Edo Period, but the profession died out as prostitution in Japan became illegal.

If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to spot a geisha walking around Gion. We didn’t 🙁 Just know that you must not take photos of their faces.

Be sure to check out Yasaka Shrine, nestled at the heart of town where geisha also perform throughout the year. Yasaka Shrine hosts the annual Gion Festival every July, a tradition that dates back to 869. The cherry blossoms bloom nearby during the springtime too!

This Buddhist temple is located a few blocks away from Gion, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Kyoto.

It cost 600 yen (approx. $4 USD) to enter.

Kodai-ji Temple was founded in 1606 by Kodai-in (the namesake), a Buddhist nun and widow of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a famous samurai from the Sengoku Period , known for unifying Japan politically. There is a gorgeous garden that has red autumnal leaves (we went to Japan in October, but I’ve heard that there’s more fall foliage in November). Its most famous building is Kangetsudai, which has a roofed bridge and was used for moon viewing. There are two teahouses, Kasatei and Shiguretei.

There are a steep number of steps that you can climb, and it leads you to a mini forest lined with bamboo trees, almost like Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. From there, you walk downhill and exit through the gift shop!

Have you seen photos of this hilly cobblestoned street in Kyoto lined with shops and eateries in Japanese-style buildings and buzzing with tourists? That is Ninenkaza, located in Higashiyama District in Eastern Kyoto. It houses the Yasaka-no-to Pagoda and the most beautiful 2-story Starbucks in the world with bamboo interiors and elevated tatami-style floors to lounge on (with shoes off, of course).

While Ninenkaza is busy throughout the day, I imagine that it’s peaceful during sunrise with that gorgeous golden hour. It looks like you stepped into a fairytale.

Don’t miss the Studio Ghilbi Shop, with a Peter Rabbit shop/cafe next door. Ninenkaza is the place to rent a kimono in Kyoto, and you’ll see tourists strolling the streets wearing them. There are kimono rental shops on every corner of Ninenkaza.

If you’re hungry, you’ll find dozens of sit-down restaurants, sushi shops, cafes, and izakayas to whet your appetite. Cecilio ordered a bucket of chicken karaage (fried chicken skewers) from a stall, while I ordered a latte from Arabica Coffee down the street.

Spending 2 days in Kyoto warrants a stop at Ninenkaza…it would be incomplete without visiting the city’s most famous street!

While it’s a little out of the way, there is still time to visit Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and it’s totally worth it. If you have only 2 days in Kyoto, make visiting Arashiyama a priority. Even when it’s packed with tourists, strolling through the forest makes you feel serene and calm.

The forest is lined with moso bamboo, and it’s so gorgeous in person that it almost feels fake (and I mean that in the best possible way). When you’re walking on the way to the forest (from the station and shopping center), you’ll walk by the Hozu River and see people rowing boats. You can rent a boat, which costs 4,100 yen ($27.03) for adults and 2,700 yen ($17.80) for children ages 4–12.

Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is one of Japan’s most popular forests, and Kyoto’s most popular attractions (along with Fushimi Inari). If you’re up to it, you can go further to see the Iwatayama Monkey Park, but we didn’t do that because monkeys creep me out.

Once you exit the forest, you should scope out the shops and eateries around town. There are also even more kimono-wearing visitors and rickshaw riders for the tired and sore.

While Cecilio and I were waiting for the bus to go back to town, we got some ice cream. Also, how cute is it that the shops outside have a bamboo motif going on?!

Most places close early in Kyoto, even for dinner. But there’s one place that closes later, and that’s Ichiran, the popular ramen chain restaurant. Before you enter, you have to select the type of ramen you want through the machine and pay it in yen. Then you wait in line before you can get seated because the area is really small and you’re basically eating bar-style at a counter with a stool.

Once you get seated, a server will give you a sheet of paper where you circle your ramen preferences, such as how soft or chewy you want the noodles, the richness of the broth, the amount of garlic and green onions, and the spice level. Once you are done, you give it to your server and the soup is ready for you in minutes.

Oh, and each seat at the counter is separated by a divider. It wasn’t a problem for Cecilio and me, since we were still able to talk (although we got so focused on our delicious ramen).

I ordered tonkotsu pork ramen with the noodles and broth just right, Goldilocks style, but I asked for extra garlic and a dash of extra spice. Thinking of the perfect blend of salty, umami, and spicy flavors is making my mouth water as I’m back home in the States writing about it.

Or swap out any of the attractions listed above for your 2 days in Kyoto, you can visit:

• Kinkaku-ji Temple
• Kiyomizudera Temple
• Nijo Castle
• Kyoto Imperial Palace
• Philosopher’s Walk
• Kyoto International Manga Museum

For an authentic experience, I recommend staying in a ryokan, which is a traditional Japanese inn with tatami-style flooring and futon beds or mattresses. A ryokan will often serve a traditional Japanese dinner and/or breakfast. Bonus points if the ryokan has a private onsen (hot springs bath).

• Luxury: Yuzuya Ryokan
• Mid-range: Ryokan Sakura Urushitei (this is where we stayed)
• Budget: Hifumi Ryokan

Frequently Asked Questions

Ideally, I would spend at least 3 nights in Kyoto, so that you can see more attractions and temples without feeling rushed. However, most people spend a night or two in Kyoto (some take a day trip from Tokyo or Osaka!), especially coming from the US when we don’t have a lot of vacation time. I think 2 days in Kyoto is sufficient, even though I could always stay an extra night anywhere. I’ve curated this guide so that you can see the best of Kyoto in 2 nights, and you can swap out attractions as needed.

Kyoto is best known for its UNESCO sites, charming streets, temples, and Japan’s traditional architecture from centuries ago. Kyoto is also most famous for Gion, the geisha district.

This 2-day Kyoto itinerary helps you see the city’s ancient charm fused with modern allure. From the iconic Fushimi Inari Shrine to the historic streets of Gion to the lush greenery of Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, each attraction captures Japan’s essence back in time. Safe travels, and may your time in Kyoto be filled with wonder and lasting memories!

Kyoto blog: When is the best time to visit Kyoto?

The climate in Kyoto is also divided into 4 distinct seasons. Winter (December to February) is the coldest time, sometimes the temperature dropping to 0 degree Celsius, so very few tourists visit Kyoto at this time. The weather begins to warm up in the spring (from March to May). This is also the best time to travel to Kyoto and see cherry blossoms.

In the summer (from June to August) in Kyoto there will be rain, so the streets are always wet. Visitors need to bring umbrellas and raincoats. In the Fall (from September to November), the weather becomes more temperate and warmer. Especially, the brilliant yellow leaves and autumn colors are always impressive to visitors. Many people want to walking under the yellow and red leaves forests, immerse themself into the enchanting natural scenery.

Spring with cherry blossoms: From March to mid-May Summer : from July to mid-September. Autumn with maple leaves: October to the end of November Winter with snow cover: from January to February.

The most impressive Kyoto is still the maple leaves season, in this period, the whole Kyoto is very brilliant, spectacular scenery with yellow and red leaves of maple trees, plus a cool and pleasant climate, but this season is also the peak tourist season of Kyoto, the number of tourists coming here is very crowded.

You should avoid traveling to Kyoto on weekends. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays are the best days to visit Kyoto. You should get up early to strolling around and take pictures, otherwise you only see full of people.

Quotes about food in Japan

“Japanese food makes me feel particularly good.“ – David Mitchell

Rejoicing at their discovery of this delicious mushroom, they danced to celebrate.“ – Paul Stamets

“My husband and I went to Japan for our honeymoon, and you look at, like the presentation of the food, and it’s ridiculous. It looks like a Mondrian painting or something.

Quotes about the Japanese culture 

“Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence.“ – Kakuzo Okahura

“A very enjoyable meditation on the curious thing called ‘Zen’ -not the Japanese religious tradition but rather the Western click of Zen that is embraced in advertising, self-help books, and much more. Yamada, who is both a scholar of Buddhism and a student of archery, offers refreshing insight into Western stereotypes of Japan and Japanese culture, and how these are received in Japan.“ – Alexander Gardner

“Bathing just once in this hot spring in Shimane prefecture in Tamatsukuri will clear your skin, and continued bathing will cure all your aches and pains. Given such positive results without exception since long ago, people call it the water of the gods.“ – Izumi no Kuni Fudoki

“Japan is not a Western democracy. The Japanese have kept their traditions, culture and heritage, but they have joined the community of free nations.’ – Natan Sharansky

‘Japan was made by a handful of brave men, warriors, willing to give their lives for what seems to have become a forgotten word, honor.“ – Unknown

“Whereas in the west, individuality and drive are considered positive qualities, they have not seen the same way, in Japan. In that country, if you are too much of a rugged individualist, it might actually indicate that you are a weak, unreliable character and that you are selfish, in a childish, willful kind of way.“ – Alexei Maxim Russell

“The method of producing comics in Japan is very hectic, but it’s also rewarding because it’s possible to do both the story and art all by yourself. In this way, it’s possible to bring out one’s individuality. If this idea appeals to you, I call on you to try drawing your own manga.“ – Akira Toriyama

“The Japanese have two words: “Uchi” meaning inside and “soto” meaning outside. Uchi refers to their close friends, the people in their inner circle. Soto refers to anyone who is outside that circle. And how they relate and communicate to the two are drastically different. To the soto, they are still polite and they might be outgoing, on the surface, but they will keep them far away until they are considered considerate and trustworthy enough to slip their way into the uchi category. Once you are uchi, the Japanese version of friendship is entire universes beyond the average American friendship! Uchi friends are for life. Uchi friends represent a sacred duty. A Japanese friend, who has become an uchi friend, is the one who will come to your aid, in your time of need, when all your western “friends” have turned their back and walked away.“ – Alexei Maxim Russell

“Beauty and health without medicine or cosmetics – no wonder onsen bathing is so popular. In Europe as well as Japan, hot springs are known as ‘the foundations of youth’ because of their abilities to rejuvenate and restore.“ – Dr Qing Li

“To combat the confusion and depression that assault me when I come off the road in the middle of a tour, I seek the most oblivion music possible. When its the way out there that I seek, I go right to my stash of amazing music from Japan.“ – Henry Rollins

“There’s nothing in Chinese culture that is equivalent of the geisha. It’s so different, so special to Japan.“ – Zhang Ziyi

Travel quotes about Japan

“One must learn, if one is to see beauty in Japan, to love an extraordinarily restrained and delicate beauty.” – Mary Ritter Beard

“I’ve been to Japan so many times, but I still constantly stumble across things that are so foreign to me.“ – Travis Rice

“I loved the quiet places in Kyoto, the places that held the world within a windless moment. Inside the temples, Nature held her breath. All longing was put to sleep in the stillness, and all was distilled into a clean simplicity. The smell of woodsmoke, the drift of incense; a procession of monks in black-and-gold robes, one of them giggling in a voice yet unbroken; a touch of autumn in the air, a sense of gathering rain.“ – Pico Iyer

“If you go to Japan, you have to take the train and go visit different capital cities. Just sticking to one city would be a shame, considering how easy it is to get around. Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto all have different vibes and sights.“ – Ronny Chieng

“Tokyo may have more money and Kyoto more culture; Nara may have more history and Kobe more style. But Osaka has the biggest heart.“ – Vikas Swarup

“We were in Japan once where they had 30 kinds of green tea. I thought there was one.“ – Billy Corgan

“Here in Tokyo, they’re not just hard-working, but almost violently cheerful. Down at the peacock, the change flows like tap water. The women behind the register bows to you, and I don’t mean that they lower their heads a little, the way you might if passing someone on the street. These cashiers press their hands together and bend from the waist. Then they say what sounds like to me like we, the people of this store, worship you as we might a God.“ – David Sedaris

“I love Tokyo. If I had to eat only in one city for the rest of my life, Tokyo would be it. Most chefs I know would agree with me.“ – Anthony Bourdain

“There are so many more people in Tokyo than in New York, but it’s pristine. It’s so organized, and yet the address system is in complete chaos.” – Nick Wooster

“Shibuya is a great place to start your trip, as it offers you a taste of every stereotype you could hope to see in Tokyo” – Brian Flynn

Quotes about Japanese people

“Many Japanese people never really retire—they keep doing what they love for as long as their health allows.“ – Hector Garcia

“The Japanese are skilled at bringing nature and technology together: not man versus nature, but rather a union of the two.“ – Hector Garchave

“I like them very much. I like the Japanese people are very polite. Now, some people don’t like to play to them because they think they’re very quiet after American audiences. But I like them, they’re very nice people, they listen, and they applaud and once you get used to the fact that they’re not all drunk and screaming like they are in America maybe, then it’s OK.” – George Harrison

“Honda did not necessarily cling to the historical school of law, which was influenced by nineteenth-century romanticism, nor to the ethnic school. The Japan of the Meiji era, indeed, needed a nationalistic type of law, one that had its roots in the philosophy of the historical school. But Honda’s concerns were quite different. He had first been intent on isolating the essential principle behind all law, a principle which he felt must exist.“ – Yukio Mishima

“What do Japanese artisans, engineers, Zen philosophy, and cuisine have in common? Simplicity and attention to detail.“ – Hector Garcia

“One of the things I discovered in Japan was from watching sumo wrestling. In the end, you can never tell who has won the fight, and who has lost because they do not show their emotion because it could embarrass the loser. It is unbelievable. That is why I try to teach my team politeness. It is only here in England that everybody pokes their tongue out when they win.“ – Arsene Wenger

“The recipe to an unhappy life in Japan is to want to be Japanese if you are not. Anyone who wants to penetrate the country is setting itself up for tears and disappointment.“ – Pico Iyer

“Japan learned from the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that the tragedy wrought by nuclear weapons must never be repeated and that humanity and nuclear weapons cannot coexist.“ – Daisaku Ikeda

“The Japanese see self-assertion is immoral and self-sacrifice is the sensible course to take in Life.“ – Akira Kurosawa

“The Japanese are a forest civilization. Their culture, philosophy and religion are carved out of the forests that blanket the country – not to mention all manner of everyday things, from houses and shrines to walking sticks and spoons.“ – Dr Qing Li

Famous Japanese Proverbs 

Love without friendship is like a shadow without the sun.

The wise never marry. And when they marry they become otherwise.

Virtue is not knowing but doing.

One who smiles rather than rage is always the stronger.

Fear is only as deep as the mind allows. 

One kind word can warm three winter months. 

Who travels for love finds a thousand miles not longer than one. 

Cold tea and cold rice are bearable, but cold looks and cold words are not. 

Dumplings over flowers.

Those who chase two hares won’t even catch one.

Love and a cough cannot be hidden.

Quotes by famous Japanese people

“News from Japan doesn’t travel and hardly ever gets reported abroad. It is almost as if Japan’s winds do not travel far.“ – Kanji Hanawa

“I speak of the old Japan because out of the ashes of the old Japan there has risen a new Japan.“ – Shigeru Yoshida

“In Japanese culture, there is a belief that God is everywhere – In mountains, trees, rocks, even in our sympathy for robots or hello kitty toys.“ – Ryuichi Sakamoto

“You change the world by being yourself.” – Yoko Ono

“In Japan, they prefer the realistic style. They like answers and conclusions, but my stories have none. I want to leave them wide open to every possibility. I think my readers understand that openness.“ – Haruki Murakami

“For me, creation can only come out of a certain kind of unhappiness. They say in Japan, this thing like the hungry spirit – the hungry mind – is what gets you going forward.“ – Rei Kawakubo

“In Japan, we have the phrase, “Shoshin,” which means “beginner’s mind.” Our “original mind” includes everything within itself. It is always rich and sufficient within itself. This does not mean a closed mind, but actually an empty mind and a ready mind. If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything. It is open to everything. In the beginner’s mind, there are many possibilities; in the expert’s mind there are few.“ – Shunryu Suzuki

“We Japanese enjoy small pleasures, not extravagance. I believe a man should have a simple lifestyle – even if he can afford more.” – Masaru Ibuka

“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.” – Yoko Ono

“People are drawn deeper into tragedy not by their defects but by their virtues.” – Haruki Murakami

12 Best Hotels in Kyoto

By Danielle Demetriou

Kyoto is a city famed for its culture-drenched landscape of ancient temples, trails of scarlet shrine gates, and serenely still tea rooms. From calming onsens and contemporary art retreats to centuries-old ryokan inns and buzzy urban landmarks, there's so much to do and see around the city. Now is a good time to add “hotels” to the list, as well, thanks to the boom in both quantity and diversity of properties.

Perhaps you're looking for something more at the traditional end of the spectrum, like the quiet sanctuaries found at generations-old Ryokan inns. Here, the art of omotenashi hospitality reaches hushed new heights through its sliding screens, meditative gardens, and intuitively gentle kimono-clad staff. Or, you may be more interested in one of the contemporary newcomers, from the high-end deluxe resorts and five-star onsen retreats to the modern holistic wellness sanctuaries and art-packed properties. No matter what you're looking for or who you're traveling with, there's a Kyoto hotel perfect for you. Here are 12 of the best hotels in Kyoto , a richly diverse ancient city.

Every hotel review on this list has been written by a Condé Nast Traveler journalist who knows the destination and has visited that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider properties across price points that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination, keeping design, location, service, and sustainability credentials top of mind.

Aman Kyoto Arrow

As fresh as the first cherry blossom, Aman Kyoto feels as if it could have existed for centuries, which sets it apart among the flurry of new hotel openings in the city. This delightfully out-of-time quality has much to do with its setting: 80 serene acres of woodland, dense with maples, crosshatched by stone paths and fast-flowing streams. It’s a city hotel enfolded in nature. The aura also comes from the late architect Kerry Hill’s knack for merging traditional and contemporary. Containing just 28 bedrooms, Aman Kyoto’s six pavilions have latticed walls and pitched roofs that echo the forms of machiya houses; every bathroom has its own wooden ofuro tub. Another factor in Aman Kyoto’s curious magic is its slow genesis. Between its conception and completion, Vladislav Doronin acquired Aman, owner Adrian Zecha stepped down, and Hill passed away. Thus, Aman Kyoto bridges old Aman and new Aman, embodying all that has made the brand so exciting and influential. —Steve King

Hotel The Mitsui Kyoto, a Luxury Collection Hotel Arrow

It’s a bold move to open a design-forward property in a city that has fully tied its identity to the past. Even bolder to build it on the exact site where the long-prominent Mitsui family had a residence from the late 1600s to the 1940s. But once you hear the storybook ending—how in 2015 the Mitsui corporation’s real estate arm bought back this beloved parcel of land—it makes sense. While the sleek André Fu–designed spaces break from Kyoto ’s usual decor tropes, the past is everywhere. See, for instance, the 300-year-old wooden gate that once demarcated the original estate. There are subtle signifiers too: a long corridor with blond wood arches that echo the maze of torii gates at Kyoto’s famed Fushimi Inari shrine, a ceiling installation inspired by kimono fabric. But it’s the practical yet cosseting touches—the neatly folded pajama set that appears at turndown, the sprawling underground onsen—that will shape this next chapter of the Mitsui legacy. —Rebecca Misner

Suiran, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto Arrow

Set in the Arashiyama district on the western side of Kyoto (an area frequented by Japanese nobles of years gone by), Suiran sits seamlessly on the jade waters of the Katsura river. The original buildings, which now house the restaurants and lobby, are constructed around beautifully manicured Japanese gardens, and sunlight-dappled pebble-stone pathways lead the way to the more modern low-rise buildings that house the rooms. Yukata-clad staff welcome you warmly with a hot towel and tea whilst discretely whisking your luggage off to your room, leaving you to enjoy the serene surroundings, bathed in light and soothed by the sounds of flowing water. Here, chaotic city life is a distant memory and the deliberate and un-rushed pace is the catalyst for achieving a state of repose.

Hoshinoya Kyoto Arrow

The Hoshinoya, Kyoto, a hybrid ryokan-hotel, is made up of a series of low buildings inspired by traditional Japanese houses that cling to the banks above the Hozugawa River in the temple-rich Arashiyama district, and is accessible only by a lazy boat ride in a hinoki (Japanese cedar) vessel. Its 25 elegant rooms are also redolent of cedar, and although they don’t have TVs, they do have heated wooden floors, hand-blocked wallpaper, shoji-inspired sliding glass doors, and picture windows (all the better to lean out and watch the foxes, deer, and occasional monkey that prance through the forest), deep cedar soaking tubs, and lofty duvets that sigh when you flop down on them. From the iron lanterns that light the moss-traced stone walkways to the lashed bamboo fences, every detail has been well-considered. In lieu of a bar, there’s a library, refreshed throughout the day with complimentary snacks by the gracious staff (who speak excellent English). As in a traditional ryokan, there are some restrictions—the boat back to the docks runs only from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.—but Hoshinoya is a retreat not only from town but from modernity. At night, after you’ve eaten an excellent Japanese or French meal and changed into the provided lounging clothes (complete with raw-silk robes), you can sit in the Zen rock garden, look up at the star-smeared sky, and forget what century you’re in.

Ace Hotel Kyoto Arrow

Modern-Americana-meets-handcrafted-Kyoto is not a conventional formula—yet Ace brand’s first Asia outpost was always going to break rules as well as turn heads. In an ancient Japanese capital famed for its aesthetic discretion (latticed facades, minimal tea rooms, sliding screens), the direction here is unapologetically unorthodox. From tacos and DJ parties to paper lanterns and temple-inspired joinery, it’s a confident cross-pollination of east and west courtesy of LA-based Commune Design and Japanese architect Kengo Kuma (plus 50 homegrown artisans). First is its size: the hotel inhabits a cavernous century-old building known as the Shin-Puh-Kan, plus a new build with a striking angular gridded facade whose abstract lines hint at the city’s famed townhouses. In the lobby, music fills the industrial-edged space, with young staff in striped jackets hovering by a shiny pink copper front desk as round as a rubber ring. Rainbow-bright bursts of contemporary artwork cover the walls, while local creatives gather beneath a high timber ceiling at a long communal table, and craft coffee lovers can get a taste of Portland at the hotel’s on-site Stumptown Coffee. The compact guest rooms mix up Judd-inspired benches and TEAC turntables with washi-ceilings and tatami areas plus vintage-tinged textiles and bold artworks. Food belongs unwaveringly in the US camp: zesty tacos—a Kyoto novelty—at Piopiko (by Wes Avila of LA’s Guerilla Tacos ); and quality comfort food at Mr Maurice’s Italian, by Marc Vetri. A third restaurant by Portland duo Naomi Pomeroy and Kyle Linden Webster is opening soon in a contemporary tea room–inspired space, with vast paper lanterns crafted at a centuries-old atelier—an unapologetic finale to perhaps the ancient city’s most novel hotel yet. —Danielle Demetriou

Six Senses Kyoto Arrow

Right in the heart of Higashiyama, a scenic (and busy) downtown area famed for its constellation of temples, shrines, and cultural landmarks, sits the serene haven of Six Senses. From its contemporary design and wellness rituals to its sustainability efforts and locally sourced ingredients, the property is perfectly steeped in the surrounding ancient former capital. In typical Six Senses fashion, the spa is also quite impressive. Here guests can enjoy four treatment rooms inspired by the senses, an Alchemy Bar, an Herbal Tea Lounge, a Watsu pool, a larger pool, a Biohack recovery lounge, and a studio for meditation and yoga . After a long day of relaxing, head to one of the 81 spacious rooms and suites overlooking either Toyokuni Shrine or the plant-filled inner courtyard. Finish off your night with a delicious meal at Sekki—the Japanese word for season—with their ever-changing menu tapping into Japan’s calendar of 24 subtly shifting micro-seasons. —Danielle Demetriou

The Shinmonzen Arrow

A smooth modern riff on a traditional ryokan inn (and the chic little sister of Villa la Coste in the South of France), The Shinmonzen sits on a quiet lane in Kyoto’s Gion district, with a traditional-style wood façade leading to a contemporary interior cocktail of modern design and world-class artwork. Each of the individually designed suites is flooded with natural light and showcases a smooth mix of modern Kyoto craftsmanship (picture minimalist screens and hinoki cypress-wood bathtubs) and hints of its Provençal DNA (as reflected in the lingering scent of jasmine from each of the balconies overlooking the river). —Danielle Demetriou

Hiiragiya Arrow

Discovering this ancient ryokan is part of the fun. The namesake wild holly protruding from the eaves lends a certain natural element to the environment. Creaky floors, cypress tubs with hot steam water, and tatami mats heighten the senses at each turn. In-room dining is a must: Slip into your robe and hunker down on your tatami for an in-room kaiseki meal of simmered razor clams, billowy yuba dumplings, tender bamboo shoots, and sea urchin chawanmushi served on handmade Kiyomizu ceramics. It's on a quiet back street and just one street away from a main thoroughfare, but you would never know. It's so quiet, I could hear a white eye warbler tweeting in my private moss garden. This is an intimate Kyoto experience that the big chains cannot offer. —Adam Graham

Park Hyatt Kyoto Arrow

A plaque honoring the partnership of the Pritzker, Takenaka, and Kyoyamato families in the gravel garden entrance of Kyoto’s Park Hyatt is overlooked by most travelers. But to Japanese guests, it’s an assurance of being in good hands in the newly opened 70-room masterpiece of Japanese architecture built into Higashiyama’s temple-dense hillside. The true meaning of this plaque deserves some unpacking. The Pritzkers get a mention because they’re the American family behind the Hyatt and the iconic Park Hyatt Tokyo. Takenaka, the builders, are a 17th-generation Kyoto construction company responsible for many of Japan's temples, shrines, ryokan, and skyscrapers. And Kyoyamato, because the 360-year-old wooden tea house standing among the hotel's modern buildings has been and remains their family restaurant, a warren of immaculately restored tatami mat rooms offering kaiseki meals and garden views. The Park Hyatt’s interiors are the work of Tony Chi, who used fragrant ash wood for the angular ceilings, basalt stone work, and shoji screens made with local washi paper to create serene rooms. He also commissioned the legendary 16th-generation potter Asayaki-san in nearby Uji for the tableware, weaving a golden thread of heritage through this utmost of modern hotels. —Adam Graham

Shinsho-an Arrow

The atmosphere leans more toward luxurious private home than hotel at Shinsho-an, in both scale and ambience. Sleek interiors use top-quality materials sourced from across Japan with contemporary design touches, adding to the scene-stealing modern Kyoto restaurant and next-level hospitality—right down to the cashmere-covered hot-water bottles you can request beneath the sheets at night. Each of the four suites is uniquely designed and extremely spacious, with minimalist flower arrangements by one of Japan’s oldest florists. All meals are created by Michelin-starred chef Toshiro Ogata, from mouth-melting squid sashimi at breakfast to the nine-course omakase dinner. —Danielle Demetriou

The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto Arrow

If room views made up their own category, this Ritz-Carlton, set along the shores of the Kamogawa River, would be in a class all its own. Beside its prime real estate by the water, the hotel also offers views of the nearby Higashiyama mountains (you can also opt for views of a traditional Japanese Zen garden, or the city of Kyoto itself). Rooms have impeccable detail, like shippo (a type of cloisonné, or painted metalwork that the city is proudly known for); try the Garden suite, where you can sit on the balcony after a soothing bath with Shabonya handmade soap, and kick back in your Imabari bathrobe and slippers.

Maana Homes

Located down a quiet, narrow lane near the 16th-century Toyokuni Shrine in Kyoto’s culture-packed Higashiyama district, here "over-tourism” will feel like a distant dream. The property is a serene hat trick of suites, smoothly renovated across a network of century-old traditional machiya townhouses. The three unique spaces, which each sleep between two and four people, bring a taste of ancient Kyoto to the modern world through design, craftsmanship, materials, and atmosphere: sweeps of sand-toned walls, bathtubs crafted from Shigaraki clay, and curated Kyoto antiques find their home alongside more contemporary and international design notes like sculptural French pendant lights and clean-lined Danish sofas. The contemporary riff on Kyoto aesthetics continues in the on-site sister café Kissa Kishin (farm-to-table breakfast highlights include the soft and tasty bread made from amazake and koji). Kiyomizudera is the newest (and largest) Maana Homes space in Kyoto; It also operates two standalone  machiya  houses, Maana Kamo and Maana Kyoto. —Danielle Demetriou
