Activity itinerary

Kinkakuji Temple
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Kinkakuji Temple is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan. Kinkakuji is famous for its stunning architecture, with the top two floors covered in gold leaf and beautifully reflected in the surrounding pond. Originally built in the 14th century as a retreat for Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the temple was later converted into a temple. The gardens surrounding the temple were also carefully designed in detail to showcase the beauty of the traditional Japanese landscape. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist attraction.
Arashiyama
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Arashiyama is a pleasant, natural tourist destination located in the western suburbs of Kyoto. The area has been a popular tourist destination since the Heian period (794-1185), when aristocrats enjoyed its natural surroundings. Arashiyama is especially popular in the fall for its autumn foliage and in the spring for its cherry blossoms. The Togetsu Bridge is the central trend mark of Arashiyama, from which you can enjoy a panoramic view of the vast river. Near the bridge, there is a boat pier, the famous bamboo grove street, many restaurants, and shopping for even the youngest visitors.
Gion
  • 1h
Gion is Kyoto’s most famous historic district, known as the heart of geisha and maiko culture. With a history spanning over 300 years, this enchanting area remains one of Japan’s most mysterious and atmospheric neighborhoods. On this tour, you’ll discover the hidden stories, traditions, and history of Gion with a knowledgeable local guide. Depending on your preference, we can gently drive through the district to admire its scenery, or stop and stroll through the traditional streets, giving you the chance to fully immerse yourself in the timeless charm of old Kyoto.
Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Fushimi Inari is one of Japan's most gorgeous, powerful, and famous shrines and one of my recommended tourist destinations. The view of the thousand torii gates leading to the top of the mountain is breathtaking, and even if you get tired on the way, there is a place to turn around so that even those with weak legs can enjoy the view. Many visitors are satisfied with the beautiful scenery. Fushimi Inari has a lot of history and animal gods are enshrined, and there are statues of foxes and animals in many places as you walk along.
