Mobile ticket
Enjoy Kyoto at your own pace on a private car tour with hotel pickup in Kyoto and an English-speaking driver. Choose a 5-hour highlights trip or a 10-hour full-day experience, then visit selected sights from 7 popular Kyoto locations: Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Kinkaku-ji, Fushimi Inari Taisha, Ginkaku-ji, Kiyomizu-dera, Nishiki Market, and Gion.
The 5-hour option is ideal for guests who want to focus on a few key highlights, while the 10-hour option allows more time for additional stops and a more relaxed pace. For a smoother experience, visiting 3 to 4 attractions is recommended. The final route depends on the selected duration, traffic, opening hours, parking rules, and time spent at each stop.
