Itinerary

  • Nanzenji Suirokaku

    Your guide will accompany you along this walk along the Suirokaku Viaduct and explain the history of Japan and these places.

    1 hour

  • Nanzen-ji Temple

    Your guide will accompany you to the Nanzen-ji Buddhist temple, dating from the 13th century. This temple has a long, fascinating history and a magnificent Zen garden. This is an opportunity for you to recharge your batteries and learn more about Japan.

    1 hour

  • Philosopher's Walk

    This path is located between the Nanzen-ji and Ginkaku-ji Buddhist temples. We take it to reach the Silver Pavilion. The name of the walk dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, from the philosopher Kitarô Nishida (1870-1945) who particularly appreciated it.

    1 hour

  • Ginkakuji Temple

    The silver pavilion dates from the middle of the 15th century. This Buddhist temple is simple and is the favorite temple of the Japanese in Kyoto. It is worth the visit for its history, its pretty building, its Zen garden and its view of the city.

Exceeded My Expectations

Published on Nov, 2024

Mouloud was a great guide. He had a lot of knowledge and information for all the sights on the tour. He answered all my questions and was kind when I needed breaks walking. The silver pavilion and philosophers path were more than I expected and I had a great time I would highly recommend both Mouloud and the tour
