Discover the timeless charm of Kyoto — Japan’s ancient capital — on a full-day private tour. Visit iconic temples, wander through bamboo forests, and experience the serene beauty of Zen gardens and Shinto shrines.

Start your day with hotel pickup and head to Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kyoto’s most photographed shrine, famous for its thousands of vermilion gates that line the hillside.

Continue to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, an architectural masterpiece built without nails, offering sweeping views of Kyoto from its wooden terrace.

Next, wander through the charming Higashiyama District, a maze of traditional streets filled with souvenir shops, kimono rentals, and local sweets — a glimpse into old Japan.

Travel to Arashiyama, on Kyoto’s western edge. Stroll through the Bamboo Grove, visit Tenryu-ji Temple, and enjoy the tranquil Zen gardens designed in perfect harmony with nature.

Your next stop is Kinkaku-ji, the Golden Pavilion, covered entirely in gold leaf — one of Japan’s most iconic temples.

End your day in the elegant Gion District, Kyoto’s famous Geisha quarter, where traditional wooden houses and lantern-lit alleys capture the spirit of ancient Japan.
