This adorable family of four ventures out on international travels as often as possible. This year, they were able to see Kyoto and visit some of its amazing religious structures. Here are the best shrines and temples to visit in Kyoto.<\/p>\n

1. Fushimi Inari-taisha<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recognizable by a seemingly endless tunnel of torii, traditional Japanese gates, which lead to the inner shrine, Fushimi Inari-taisha<\/a> sits at the base of a mountain. Walking trails lead to a series of smaller shrines up the mountain, so wear your hiking shoes if you plan to visit them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto was the perfect backdrop for our family pictures.  It was the top shrine we saw in Kyoto. Our kids were fascinated by the hundreds of \u2018ninja gates\u2019 and Flytographer Lucas<\/a> did an excellent job navigating the location in order to get excellent pictures of our family without the rest of the tourist crowds being an issue at all.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Debra<\/p>\n

2. Rokuon-ji Temple<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rokuon-ji<\/a> is one of the most popular Zen Buddhist temples in Kyoto. And it\u2019s no wonder with its Golden Pavilion covered with pure gold leaf. The stunning surrounding gardens are worth a wander and incorporate a \u201cmirror\u201d pond which reflects the dazzling temple.<\/p>\n

3.  Kiyomizu-dera<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Buddhist temple offers English-speaking tours during which you can ladle healing water from the temple\u2019s waterfall. Tour participants at Kiyomizu-dera<\/a> are allowed into the inner shrine, an honour generally reserved only for devotees. The tour offers the unique opportunity to learn from a Buddhist monk and to ask any questions you may have about the practice and the temple. As with most temples, arrive early to avoid large crowds.<\/p>\n

4. Sanjusangen-do<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sanjusangen-do<\/a> is a Buddhist temple famous for its 1,001 carved wooden statues of Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy. You\u2019re not allowed to take pictures, so you\u2019ll get to enjoy the thrill of discovery and feel like you\u2019re in on one of the world\u2019s little secrets once you\u2019ve seen it for yourself.<\/p>\n

5. Yasui-Konpiragu<\/strong><\/p>\n

This quirky off the beaten path monument is basically a giant rock with a hole in the middle. Its appearance has shifted through the years with the addition of strips of paper with wishes written on them covering the entire monument. Here\u2019s how it works: if you want to end, begin or even strengthen a relationship, visit the inner sanctuary of the temple. Then, write down your wish and walk through the power stone monument with wish in hand. Finally, add your wish to the monument. This temple is not a major tourist attraction, so you\u2019ll completely avoid crowds and come home with an interesting travel experience!<\/p>\n
