[Autumn 2023] You can still make it! The tour to enjoy the autumn leaves in Kyoto privately!

Autumn in Kyoto is a dream come true for everyone. We produce a special trip where you can enjoy the beautiful autumn leaves on a private basis

In Kyoto, you can see gorgeous autumn leaves everywhere. In particular, the autumn leaves at Arashiyama and famous temples and shrines in the Ohara area are spectacular. Our special tour will be held every day from November 20th to 30th, 2023, where you can enjoy the beautiful autumn leaves at famous temples and shrines in a small private group. Hotel staff will accompany you during the tour, allowing you to enjoy sightseeing with peace of mind both on the way and at the site.

Enjoy a small group private tour of a famous temple first thing in the morning

This is a very luxurious project where only participants of this tour from Kyoto Brighton Hotel are allowed to enter early in the morning before the gates open to the public. You can take your time to admire the beautiful gardens with no one around. Enjoy the changing colors of the autumn leaves without any queues or crowds.

You can also learn about the history and highlights of the garden

In addition to enjoying the gardens, you can also learn about the history of each temple, and you'll be able to experience the depths of Kyoto that aren't featured in guidebooks.

From famous temples in the Arashiyama and Ohara areas to hidden spots favored by locals, you can enjoy spectacular views of autumn leaves. Even if you are in a place that is inconvenient to access, there is no need to worry as we provide transportation.
