In this activity you will have the opportunity, for about 4 hours, to tour Kyoto in a private and customisable tour. Throughout the activity, you will be accompanied by an expert guide, from whom you will learn many interesting facts about the culture and history of the places you will visit.

Only you and your companions will participate in the tour, which ensures that you will enjoy the most personalised attention possible, as well as an intimate atmosphere.

Some of the attractions you can include in your itinerary are as follows:

  • Kiyomizu-dera Temple: This is one of Kyoto's most famous temples and is located on a hill with panoramic views of the city. It was founded in 778 and is famous for its 13-metre-high wooden terrace that extends from the hill and offers breathtaking views of the city from the top.
  • Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine: It is one of the most important shrines in Japan and is located at the base of Inari Mountain. It is known for its thousands of red torii (sacred gates) that form a tunnel through the mountain paths and is a popular place to hike and enjoy nature.
  • Kyoto Imperial Palace: This was the residence of Japan's emperors for over 1,000 years and is an important symbol of the city's history.

    We loved that the tour included lesser known and touristy places, allowing us to experience a more authentic part of Kyoto.
