The 17 properties of the World Heritage Sites are located in Kyoto Prefecture. These

heritage sites are attracting many people since each embodies a respective era in which it

was constructed. You are in the central of Kyoto. About transportations, mostly you have to

take buses, or rent a bike. Trains are only two lines. I wrote one day tickets system below.
