What to do while in Kyoto

A truly amazing sight to see in this area is Arashiyama that is just a short drive to the western side of town. This is a bamboo forest that contains several different monkey species. Another popular destination that is just a short drive to the north is Nijō Castle, which is not only an incredible structure to visit but the abundant cherry blossom trees that surround the castle are a sight to behold on their own when they’re in bloom.

Winter in Kyoto

One staple of Japanese culture that is especially inviting during the winter is to visit an onsen or natural hot spring. In Kyoto, one of these hot springs is the Kurama Onsen that is just to the north of town. Kyoto also boasts some great winter sports destinations like Hirogawary, the Swiss Ski Village Ski Resort and the Oeyama Ski Resort.
