One-Day Walking Tour : Enjoy Kyoto to the fullest!
About This Tour
Kyoto once flourished as the capital of Japan for over a thousand years until Tokyo became the capital and the emperor moved there in 1868. There are plenty of places worth visiting such as Arashiyama, which used to be the aristocrats’ summer resort, a magnificent temple with a stunning garden, the alleys where geisha girls in kimono stroll, and the celebrated shrine with a tunnel of a thousand vermillion torii gates.
We will show you the sights that represent Kyoto for a whole day.

Itinerary
1
In the fresh air in the early morning, we walk through the renowned bamboo forest before the site gets busy. The beauty of the bamboo grove in the morning sun is exceptional. Let's stop and close our eyes. The sounds of the beautiful bamboo trunks and leaves touching each other in the morning breeze have a relaxing and soothing effect on the visitors.

This is a famous temple which is an icon of Samurai culture. It once was the villa of retired shogun and was converted into a temple after his death. The main building covered with gold leaf is incredibly beautiful in itself. In addition to that, the harmony with the nearby pond and the surrounding garden makes the scenery magnificent. When you come to Kyoto, you can’t miss this site.

This site is known for geisha and if you are lucky enough, you may encounter them walking from their boarding houses to the tea houses where they perform to guests.

The beautiful tunnel of thousands of vermillion torii gates is very famous and picturesque. These torii gates are offered by worshippers as a token of appreciation for the good luck they received from the god of this shrine. Why don’t you offer a prayer here and change your luck?
