Visit Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines: Visits and activities in Kyoto

The list of the religious and historical heritage of the city of Kyoto is so long that it is impossible to visit all its temples, even in ten trips. Among the  temples and shrines , the most famous are:
Kinkaku-ji or the Golden Pavilion.
Ryoan-ji with her dry garden.
Ginkaku-ji or the Silver Pavilion.
Fushimi-Inari-Taisha, the shrine of the Torii.
Shimogamo-jinja in the middle of the forest.
Yasaka-jinja the oldest shrine.
The Golden Pavilion is very popular with tourists, but the Japanese prefer the Silver Pavilion, for example, which is quieter. Finally, the shrine dedicated to the Kami Inari is a must-see.
