Walk along the legendary wooden stage constructed without a single nail, offering sweeping panoramic views of Kyoto. Take a sip from the Otowa Waterfall for good health, love, or academic success. Afterward, stroll through the historic preserved streets of Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka lined with traditional wooden townhouses, local snack stalls, and craft shops.
