Complete Tour of Kyoto
At the designated time, we'll meet at the Keihan Kyoto Hotel to begin our tour. We'll hop on a bus to the bamboo forest of Arashiyama, whose tall canes create a magical scenery. As you walk along its paths, you'll feel the peace and harmony that this forest offers, especially if the wind causes the bamboo to sway gently.
Next, we'll visit Kinkaku-ji, the "Temple of the Golden Pavilion," one of the most impressive temples in Japan for its golden structure and its reflection in the lake. Our next stop will be at Nijō Castle. As we visit the different tatami rooms, we'll tell you about the shogunate, the military government that was established in the Middle Ages, with this castle serving as its main power center.
Our tour will continue toward the Kiyomizu-dera Temple, one of the most iconic sites in Kyoto. We'll go on a guided tour of this temple, where you'll enjoy spectacular scenic views of the city from its wooden terrace. Afterwards, you'll be able to grab some lunch in the temple area. We'll then continue toward the Fushimi Inari-taisha, a shrine known for the thousands of red torii (traditional Japanese gates) that make tunnels throughout the mountain. Strolling under these arches will be an unforgettable experience and without a doubt, the perfect way to wrap up our complete tour of Kyoto.
Finally, we'll make a stop in the area so that you can grab a bit to eat. After lunch, we'll return to the meeting point, where we'll conclude this 10-hour and 45-minute tour.
