Tōfuku-ji Temple is one of the oldest and most famous Zen temples in Kyōto for its wonderful and extensive gardens. The original buildings were burnt down but rebuilt faithfully to the original in the 15th century. In 1881, a blazing fire destroyed the Buddha hall, which was never again rebuilt. The complex' main gate is the oldest sanmon in Japan and a National Treasure. Today, the temple welcomes thousands of visitors throughout the year; to make their experience even more unforgettable, it offers regular Zen meditation sessions for beginners (only in Japanese). Note that the temple is overcrowded during autumn as a favourite haunt to witness kōyō (the falling of colourful leaves).

Al-Hokair Time Park is a family-focused entertainment complex, located a short distance from the Grand Mosque. It functions as a self-contained leisure destination, featuring a mix of indoor attractions such as an arcade, trampoline park, and ice-skating rink. The park is surrounded by various fast-food outlets and cafés, making it suitable for an extended visit. While its primary appeal is to families with children seeking a break from religious activities, the atmosphere is generally lively and practical rather than polished.
