Itinerary

  • Kinkakuji Temple

    Kinkakuji literally means "Temple of the Golden Pavilion" in Japanese. As one of Kyoto's most symbolic attractions, Kinkakuji is a three-story building with the top two stories covered with pure gold leaf.

    1 hour

  • Sanjusangendo Temple

    Sanjusangendo is a Buddist template founded by the famous samurai and politician Taira no Kiyomori in 1164. The template is famous for its massively long main hall dating from, and 1,001 life-sized, wooden statues of Kannon, the goddess of mercy along with two famous statues of FĹ«jin and Raijin.

    40 minutes

  • Fushimi Inari Taisha (Pass By)

    Fushimi Inari Taisha is one of the most photogenic attractions in Kyoto known for the thousands of vermilion torii gates lining up behind the main shrine. Fushimi Inari Taisha is the head shrine of the kami Inari, the kami of rice and agriculture, but merchants and manufacturers also worship Inari as the patron of business. The torii gates were donated by Japanese businesses in the Edo period (1603-1868) to have a wish come true or in gratitude for a wish that came true.

  • Nijo Castle

    As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Nijo Castle was built by the Tokugawa shogunate founded by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo Period (1603-1867). The castle was built as his residence with approx. 68 acres of surface area, consisting of two concentric rings of fortifications - the Ninomaru Palace and the ruins of the Honmaru Palace. Enter the Nijo Castle grounds through a large gate and continue venturing further into the castle to visit Ninomaru Palace, where was served as Tokugawa shogun's residence and office during his visits to Kyoto.

A very enjoyable tour. We were able to visit a number of places rich in history and beauty in the limited time we spent in Kyoto. Ichiro was very knowledgeable and helped us get a better understanding of the culture.
