If you go to Kyoto from a distance, including the Kanto area, you will basically arrive by Shinkansen. Therefore, I summarized a little about Kyoto Station here.
Kyoto Station seems to have the central exit of the Shinkansen and the central entrance of the JR conventional line, and that is where you have to be a little careful. The Shinkansen
will be at the exit of the Kintetsu side. For
example, if you are taking a hotel on the Side of Kyoto Tower, the exit will be at the central exit of the conventional line, so it is an image of half way around the station from here and going down. So,
I'll walk a little. Because the navigation
of the mobile phone may not express the current location well, in the case of the first time, when going out from the ticket gate of the Shinkansen, I think that it is good to confirm the exit of the Kyoto Tower side to the person of the station staff.
View of Kyoto Tower from the central entrance of a conventional line
The central entrance of the conventional line can see the tower like this from the vi
cinity of the ticket gate. So, if you want to take a hotel on the tower side, or a bus, this is the exit of the image of how it looks.
Image of going from the central exit of a conventional line to the central exit of a Shinkansen
It is the central entrance of the conventional line that you can see Kyoto Tower as described above. It will be the way from the central exit of the conventional line to the central exit of the Shinkansen.
With Kyoto Tower behind me, it's Kyoto Station. This
is the ticket gate at the central entrance of the
conventional line. If you take the Shinkansen, do not use the ticket
gate here. (This ticket gate is not used even if you use Kintetsu to go to Nara.) Kintetsu is close to the Shinkansen station, so if you proceed with the image toward the central exit of the Shinkansen, you can arrive at the Kintetsu station
.) If you arrive in Kyoto by conventional line and want to go to a hotel on the side of Kyoto Tower, this is the entrance and exit.
If you go to the right side without entering the ticket gate at this central entrance, there is an escalator, and there is a shinkansen and Kintetsu display on the signboard. Therefore, I go up by escalator.
When you arrive at the upper level, the Shinkansen (center exit) and Kintetsu have arrows on the left, so proceed towards the arrow.
It has become a little long communication passage in such a feeling
. Again, you can check the destination on the signboard.
If you walk a little, there is a Shinkansen station on th
e left side. (If you use Kintetsu, there is the entrance of the stat
ion
on the right side.) If you arrive in Kyoto by Shinkansen and want to go to the Kyoto Tower side, go to the other side (exit the central exit of the Shinkansen, turn right, and go down the escalator at the end, you will arrive at the central exit of the conventional line, and you will see Kyoto Tower).
Exit on the side of Kyoto Tower
There is a bus terminal at the exit on this side, and you can go to Kinkakuji Temple, Ginkakuji Temple, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, etc. from this bus terminal.
Hotels on the side of Kyoto Tower
There are quite a few hotels around the station, so it's a good place to compare prices yourself or check the rank of the hotels and book the

Attractions on the side of Kyoto Tower
On the Kyoto Tower side, there are the following sightseeing spots, and within walking distance, there is a place to go by bus. The sightseeing spots around Kyoto Station can be reached on foot, but I think it would be easier if you could rent a bicycle.
Around Kyoto Station
Main Attractions
Nishi-Honanji, Higashi-Honanji, Kyoto Tower, Wataruen, San-Sanmado, Kyoto National Museum
How to get to the tourist area from the station
On foot or on a rental cycle
The attractions on the Kyoto Tower side (jr. Kyoto Station, which leaves from Central Station, etc.) are Nishi-Honanji Temple, Higashi-Honanji Temple, Wataruen, San-Sanmado,
and
Kyoto National Museum. The combination of "Kyoto Tower, Wataruen, Higashi-Honanji, Nishi-Honanji" and "Kyoto Tower, Higashi-Honanji Temple, Wataruen, Sansanmado, Kyoto National Museum" is a route that you can do your best on foot. However, because it walks in the area of the tourist spot, it is easier to travel by bicycle if you want to go around all this area.
Nishi-Honenji
Nishi-Honnji Temple is a 15-minute walk from the central entrance of JR Kyoto Station (the side where Kyo
to Tower is located). Nishi-Honanji Temple has national treasures such as Magedo, Amida-do, To
unkaku, and Karamon. If you want to see all the national treasures, you want to keep them for at least an hour.

San-Sanma-do
Sanjusanmado is famous for its thousands
of Kannon-like bodies. The site itself is not so large, but if you take your time one body and one body slowly, about an hour will pass soon. So the more time you take, the more time you'll
take. There is the Kyoto National Museum in front of Sanzomado, so if you look here, you may need a frame of two to three hours.

in the hall is prohibited from taking photographs.
Kinkakuji area
Kinkakuji Temple is thought to be one or two spots for sightseei
ng in Kyoto. Kinkakuji Temple is a little far away from Kyoto Stati
on. Kinkakuji itself is not so large on the site, so if you look around Kinkakuji Temple on the site and it is not so crowded, it will be about 20 to 30 minutes. When shopping at a shop, it is a feeling called plus alpha. You can get to the
entrance in about 5 minutes from the bus pass. T
here is Kitano Tenmangu Shrine near Kinkakuji Temple, so you can go around here by bus.
Main Attractions Kink
aku-ji Temple, Kitano Tenmangu Shrine
How to get to the tourist area from the station
City bus (from the bus terminal on the side of Kyoto Tower)
Kinkakuji
Kinkakuji Temple is said to have been built by Yoshimitsu Ashikaga, the third
Shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate. Kinkakuji Temple is located less than 10 km away from Kyoto Station. Kinkakuji Temple is closed except for the visit time, so you can't see it unless it
's a visit time. In addition, Kinkakuji, entrance, the way to look at Kinkakuji will be one-way, so you can not return, let's go around firmly to hold down the point.

oto Tower. The place to get off is Kinkakuji-do, which is about a 5-minute walk from the bus stop.
Ginkakuji area
Along with Kinkaku-ji Temple, Ginkaku-ji Temple is one of Kyoto's most famous tour
ist attractions. It is a little far from JR Kyoto Station, but if you go around by set with Kinkakuji Temple, you can go around by city bus, so if you are interested in both, it might be better to go around with Kinkakuji temple as
a set. Compared to Kinkakuji Temple, Ginkakuji Temple has an area where you can climb a few mountains on the premises, so you want to spend about 30 to 40 minutes sightseeing time in situations where it is not crowded.
Main Attractions
Ginkaku-ji
How to get to the tourist area from the station

Ginkaku-ji Temple
Ginkaku-ji Temple is said to be the origin of the Yamaso Higashiyama-den, built by Yoshimasa Ashikaga
, the Eighth Shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate. Ginkakuji Temple is located about 8 km away from Kyoto Station and about 8 km from
Kinkakuji Temple. In Kyoto, city buses connect tourist attractions, so it is efficient to take advantage o
f city buses. Ginkakuji Temple is closed except for the visit time, so you can't see it unless it's a visit time.

ji Temple, which is close to the bus pass, it takes about 10-15 minutes to walk from the bus pass to Ginkakuji Tem
ple. If you are going from Kinkakuji Temple, take 102 on the Kinkakuji Road and get off at Ginkakuji-do. Timetable
Kiyomizu-dera Temple
I think Kiyomizu-dera Temple will be one of the most popular spots for sightseeing in Kyoto, along with Kinkakuji Te
mple. Kiyomizu-dera Temple is located a little over 3 km away from Kyoto Station. Therefore, from Kyoto Station, access by city bus can come near the entrance. In the vicinity of Kiyomizu-dera Temple,
famous sightseeing spots such as Gion and Yasaka Shrine are established within a 30-minute walk. I think that it is ideal to use the walk and the city bus well and to go around efficiently because Kiyomizu-dera temple alone walks considerably.
Main Attractions Ki

Kiyomizu-dera Temple
Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Higashiy
ama, Kyoto. The temple is said to have started in 778 and has a history of more than 1200 years.
First of all, if you go to the entrance, there is Niomon Gate, and if you go there, there is the main hall. Because the site is large, the stay is an area where I
want to see time for about one hour. From "Shimizu-do" which is a bus pass to Niomon, it is a slope, so it is an image to walk for about 15 minutes. So, I want to take a frame for about two hours, including connecting buses.

Yasaka Shrine is said to have benefits such as amotheri
