1-day Eastern Kyoto Tour: Always the Most Popular Tourist Destinations

Your tour begins at Kiyomizu-dera Temple, synonymous with Kyoto tourism. The temple's appearance amidst the natural surroundings is always a sight to behold. After visiting Kiyomizu-dera Temple, you can stroll along the enchanting Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka slopes, lined with traditional wooden houses and charming shops. Next, you'll visit Kodai-ji Temple, famous for its cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, as well as the beautiful bamboo forest within its grounds. After saying goodbye to Kodai-ji Temple, you'll next visit Chion-in Temple, with its tranquil presence, solemn mountain gate and tranquil gardens. Your trip ends in the Gion Shirakawa area and Gion Geisha Town, packed with the charms of Kyoto. If you're lucky, you'll be captivated by the graceful figures of the geisha in their stunning kimonos.
