The tour guide provides guidance in English
What to expect
1-day tour to enjoy the classic tourist spots in Kyoto. You will visit Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, and the World Heritage site Kinkaku-ji. 【Fushimi Inari Shrine】 Fushimi Inari Shrine is the head shrine for some 30,000 Inari shrines across the country.It is especially famous for its seemingly endless vermilion torii.
【Kiyomizu-dera】 The proverb "to jump off the stage at Kiyomizu" that is the Japanese equivalent of the English expression "to take the plunge", is derived from Kiyomizu-dera.The Main Hall has a large wooden stage that juts out over the hillside, it was built without using a single nail and is supported by 139 pillars. The view of the city of Kyoto from this Kiyomizu Stage is magnificent.
【Kinkaku-ji】 Kinkaku, a pagoda made to house the sacred relics of the Buddha, has given this temple the popular name of Kinkaku-ji (Temple of the Golden Pavilion).
【Arashiyama】 Arashiyama is notable for its view of cherry blossoms and color of Autumn leaves, the bridge "Togetsukyo" which spans across Katsura river is a central landmark of Arashiyama.The most highly recommended spot is the Sagano Bamboo Forest!
