Head to one of the city’s must-see sights, the Tofukuji Temple. Walk through a nice local residential neighbourhood to the Fushimi Inari Shrine and snaking corridors of red gates. As the sun begins to set on the Tories, you will leave behind the foxes and head to Gion, famously known as Kyoto’s Geisha district. Stroll past the 17th-century traditional restaurants and teahouses, see the theatres and traditional shops and soak up the atmosphere of this historic quarter.
