1-day Kyoto Must-Visit Tour: World Heritage Sites and Gion Geisha District

This tour starts at Kinkakuji Temple, which fascinates visitors with its majestic appearance shining with gold leaf. Next, we will visit Ryoanji Temple, which embodies the spirit of Zen, and the 15 stones (rocks) lined up in a beautifully arranged rock garden invite deep contemplation in silence. We will then go to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, which stands on a hill overlooking the city of Kyoto. From the historic wooden architecture and the colorfully decorated veranda, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the city of Kyoto. Finally, we will take a stroll through Gion, which conveys the splendor of the ancient capital. If you are lucky, you may encounter the elegant figure of a geisha as you walk along the atmospheric cobblestone streets. Please join us. Enjoy Kyoto's three World Heritage Sites and the culture that has been preserved since ancient times to your heart's content.
