Itinerary

  • Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine

    The spectacular tunnel of thousands vermilion torii gates is so famous and picturesque. These torii gates were offered by worshippers in appreciation of the good fortune they received from the deity enshrined here. Why donā€™t you, too, offer a prayer and change your luck?

    1 hour

  • Arashiyama

    The renowned bamboo forest with its subtle hues of green and the sun slanting through has an exceptional beauty. The rustling of the leaves and the creaking of the trunks softly swaying in the breeze have a very relaxing effect. Itā€™s an experience that you shouldn't miss while being in Kyoto.

    1 hour 10 minutes

  • Ryoanji Temple

    This temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, houses the world famous Rock Garden, which was once praised by Queen Elizabeth ā…”. Though the garden itself is quite simple and small, only with rocks and white gravel, it can give you philosophical and spiritual inspiration.

    50 minutes

  • Kinkakuji Temple

    This famous Zen temple is an icon of Samurai culture. Although it is a very popular tourist destination, the unique sight of the Golden Pavilion is well worth a visit. You can get wonderful pictures of the gilded building and its beautiful appearance reflected in the pond.

    50 minutes

  • Nishiki Market Shopping District

    The Nishiki market, which has been popular with the people of Kyoto for 400 years, has 126 shops lined up in a 390-meter long street. Kyotoā€™s peculiar vegetables and pickles are sold and you can taste some. Letā€™s enjoy the walk while imagining the eating habits of the people of Kyoto.

Tour Was Even Better Than Expected

Published on Nov, 2024

Hiro was the most memorable part of my trip. He was very informative and compassionate guide. He gave me rest stops when I needed them and answered all my questions. I had a wonderful experience

Amazing and insightful trip

Published on Sep, 2024

Short answer: book your trip and ask for Tomoko! Long review: we had a great time with our guide Tomoko. She led us trough all the stops on our trip with ease and her knowledge about each station and beyond was extraordinary. She could answer all of our questions and some questions were very specific! She is a wonderful and lovely person and she even provided us with towels and umbrellas, cooling kits, etc. We really enjoyed our time with her and we will treasure our memories of this day dearly!

Day of Kyoto

Published on Aug, 2024

Inspite of the scourging August heat, the tour went excellent. Our guide Satomi was very mindful of us and always accommodates our requested breaks. She made us feel like locals - we liked riding the public transportations. We also get to experience food at Nishiki market. Best of all, she gave us recommendations on where to buy good matcha tea and the bowl set. Overall, your getting the best of Kyoto in a day. Thank you.

Great tour!
