Things to Do in Kita-ku, Kyoto
Kyoto's spacious northern ward, where temple precincts and university neighborhoods climb toward wooded hills. Kinkaku-ji's gold pavilion and Daitoku-ji's Zen subtemples draw the crowds, while Kamigamo Shrine, old weaving streets, and the Kamo River's upper banks preserve a quieter, more rural edge of the city.
