You cannot miss a Matcha sweet when you come to Kyoto. There are famous sweets cafe such as "Tsujiri" and "Gion Komori."
Its taste quite differently depends on the shops. Why don't you compare its tastes.
(You can eat Matcha parfait at "Shichijo Kanshundo". Please show the Yumeyakata's receipt, and you can get a cute candy.)
2. Take photos at Kiyomizudera-Temple and Yasaka Tower
10 mins to Kiyomizudera Temple by bus from Yumeyakata. There are many famous sightseeing spots such as Yasaka Tower and Koushindo Temple near Kiyomizudera Temple.
We highly recommend Location Photo Plan. A photographer will guide you around! Don't forget to make reservation in advance!
3. Visit shrine, temple and Japanese garden
There are many famous temples such as Kiyomizudera-temple and Kinkakuji-temple. Collecting Goshuin is fashionable trend now. Goshuin is a red seal given at a temple or a shrine as a proof of visit. There are unique charm and oracle at temple and chrine. Let's try them!
4. Eat Kyoto cuisine

6. Meet Maiko san
Talking of Kyoto, everyone want to meet maiko just once, right? However, there are few chance to run into maiko during daytime. If you go to "Gion corner", you can meet maiko for sure! We recommend to visit there during the seasons of "Miyako Odori" and "Kamogawa Odori."
You can do Maiko makeover at Yumeyakata.
If you are interested in maiko, why don't you try it?
7. Visit Fushimiinari shrine
Fushimiinari shrine is a must-see spot!!!! There are more than 1,000 red torii gates. The place is really out of this world. You will surprise to see the number of stairs leading to the summit of mountain. If you hike, we recommend Hakama(Hakama plan) which is easily to walk compared to kimono. You can buy cute souvneir Fox-shaped rice crackers！
8. Souvenir and culinary tour
"Yatsuhasi" and "Kyoto's baumkuchen" is best sold sweets as souvenir. BUT I personally recommend "Ajyarimochi" which is kind of rice cake with red bean paste. You can enjoy culinary tour at Gojozaka and Sannenzaka near Kiyomizudera temple. There are many shop on the streets.
9. Feel seasons
Cherry blossoms in Spring, Gion festival in Summer, maple color leaves in Autumn and Kinkaku-ji Temple covered with snow in Winter.
You could feel the change of the seasons because Kyoto is abundant with nature.
