As the long time capital of Japan, Kyoto has no shortage of sites. Designated as a UNESCO world-heritage site, Kyoto actually has 17 UNESCO sites within city bounds, and contains roughly 20% of Japan’s National Treasures.
But a lot of these sites cost money – usually 300 – 500 yen a piece, which can add up quickly – especially once you factor in transportation. With that in mind, Mrs. Selfish and I quickly set out to find the best free sites Kyoto had to offer.
