Overview
Kyoto has a lot of attractions.
Culture, history, temples and shrines, scenic beauty, museums, food and drinks, etc.
One of them is gardens. Going around gardens makes me feel relaxed and calm. Landscape gardens, dry gardens, and moss gardens were created in different historical backgrounds.
On this tour, I'll show you around three highlights; Shorenin, Nijo Castle, and one samurai temple with a dry garden.
Three capitals in Japan so far.
Nara presents you with Chinese civilisation, Tokyo with Western civilisation, and Kyoto, the capital for 1000 years, with original Japanese civilisation.
Without knowing Kyoto, you cannot appreciate the original Japan.
This tour will help you to deepen your understanding of the core Japan.

is one of the 16 World Heritage Sites in Kyoto.
It was built 400 years ago by Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. As there is no original palace except NIjho Castle, Its value is historically and architecturally priceless. In addition, gorgeous wall paintings and its lord garden attract your attention. It is like a living museum, indeed. In this visit, you come to know about Shogun Ieyasu’s intention of building the palace.
1 hour
Ryoanji Temple
is also a world heritage site in Kyoto, internationally famous for its dry garden. The garden consists of white sand, moss, and 15 rocks.
Through the visit to this temple, you will know why zen attracts people today and also understand why samurai supported zen. Another attraction is maple trees, which heal and relax people throughout the year.
1 hour
Shoren-in Temple (Shoren-in Monzeki)
is the highlight of this tour. This is not a world heritage site, but it has enormous historical and cultural value. It’s no exaggeration to say that you cannot visit Kyoto without visiting Shorenin. Once you enter the temple, you will instantly notice the difference from other destinations. The essence of Kyoto and Japan is condensed here. This is the authentic Kyoto I’ll invite you to.
2 hours
Gion Shirakawa
At the end of the tour, you walk along Shirakawa Riverside. Unlike Gion Shirakawa, it has much fewer visitors. The riverside with willow trees is quiet and serene. You can feel the atmosphere of the traditional townscape.
1 hour
Kyoto City Nakagyo Area Gymnasium
Food is one of the attractions you can enjoy in Kyoto.
This lunch place is the best. Delicious, reasonable price, friendly atmosphere. All my clients get happy after eating here.
