Places to go

I heard that there are some temples and shrines that require reservations to visit. What kind of places would ask as to do so?

Well-known temples and shrines such as Kiyomizu Dera and Kinkaku Ji do not require reservations. However, Saiho-ji (Koke-dera) requires advance reservation online or by post mail. You can also apply to visit Kyoto Sento Imperial Palace, Katsura Imperial Villa, and Shugakuin Imperial Villa on the same day, but it is safer to book online in advance. Please refer to the official website of each temple and shrine for details.
