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 don’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. It’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 â…ˇ. 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. Kyoto’s peculiar vegetables and pickles are sold and you can taste some. Let’s enjoy the walk while imagining the eating habits of the people of Kyoto.

Great tour and guide

Published on Apr, 2025

Tomoko was the best! She shared so much about Kyoto with great energy and knowledge. We felt very comfortable with her as a guide and we would definitely use her services again.

Informative and lots of fun

Toshi was very knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. He provided us with lots of tips and information. It was a great tour and we managed to cover a great deal of the sights of Osaka
