Nijo Castle & Imperial Palace Historical Walk and Manga Museum
A satisfying walk through central Kyoto for both history enthusiasts and manga fans. From Nijo Castle (元離宮二条城), the stage of the Return of Power to the Emperor, to Seimei Shrine (晴明神社), famous for its onmyoji heritage, with a sweet break at the historic Toraya confectionery, you'll cross through the verdant Kyoto Gyoen (京都御苑). The destination is Kyoto International Manga Museum (京都国際マンガミュージアム), where you can spend an afternoon surrounded by walls of approximately 50,000 manga volumes, lost in reading with friends. The compact and walkable route is also a major appeal.
