Kyoto Prefecture centers on Kyoto City’s temples and shrines, gardens, castles, and shopping streets, with visits to Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, Nijo Castle, and Nishiki Market, and walks through the Arashiyama bamboo grove. August is hot, July has higher rainfall, so outdoor plans should include breaks for rest and hydration and allow for indoor backup options.
