Kyoto is known for its hundreds of temples and shrines dotting the city. Quite a few are UNESCO World Heritage listed, and even those that aren’t offer beauty and charm in their art, gardens, or architecture. And maybe a sense of spirituality. You know. If you’re into that kind of stuff. But while entrance fees are usually under 1,000 yen, going temple-hopping in Kyoto quickly adds up. What’s the cheapo way of temple-hopping in Kyoto? Go shrine-hopping instead!
