Local Recommendation! Date Spots Around Kyoto Station

Hello everyone!
Today we would like to introduce some date spots in Kyoto that are easy to access ☆
 

First Spot: Kyoto Tower!

Kyoto Tower is a popular symbol of Kyoto!
It stands as the entrance gate to Kyoto, ready to greet anyone who comes.
 

Kyoto Tower is a little different from Osaka’s Tsutenkaku Tower, or Tokyo Sky Tree or Tokyo Tower. It is characterized by the sleek appearance like a candle, and was originally created with the image of a lighthouse. This 131 meters high tower is suitable for the town of the ancient city, beautiful on its own without any unnecessary decoration.
 

It is recommended not only to see Kyoto Tower from the outside, but also to go up to the observation room.
The cityscape of Kyoto seen from 100 meters above the ground is very wonderful, and it is the best date spot to visit ☆
This is a recommended spot where you can enjoy a completely different view of the seasons and we’re sure that it will make you want to take photos.
You can talk about which part of Kyoto to go next while enjoying the 360-degree panorama of Kyoto.
 

And the best thing about Kyoto Tower is it’s appearance at night.
Kyoto Tower is open until 9:00 pm, so you can enjoy a beautiful night view that is different from the cityscape of Kyoto that you can see in the daytime, and it’s perfect for couples who want to enjoy a romantic atmosphere ☆
You can enjoy a very fantastic and beautiful space here.
 

Kyoto Tower, where you can enjoy both day and night scenery, is really recommended as a date spot! ☆

The next place to introduce “Kyo no Umi”, created with the image of The Sea of Japan.
The group of sardines swimming in a large aquarium is very pretty, it looks sparkly when exposed to light!
 

There is also a space where you can take a break, when you feel tired from walking, you can watch the fish while sitting.
 

After all, speaking of the Kyoto Aquarium, “Dolphin Stadium” is the attraction you cannot miss! You can see dolphins swimming lively there.
