Issey Miyake store. Amazing crew, wear, shop. 

Koto In zen temple. Peaceful, luxurious, out of time. 

Kyoto's summers are famously hot, but if you take the Eizan Railway and get off at Yase-Hieizanguchi Station, you'll find a spot along the Takano river where you can cool off, enjoy a barbecue, or relax by the water with a drink and read. This spot is particularly recommended for those staying in Kyoto long-term rather than for short-term tourists.

Small restaurant hidden in a backyard, peaceful restaurant. Excellent Italian inspired cuisine and wine.
