What To Expect

1

Kiyomizu-dera Temple

One of the most iconic features of Kiyomizu-dera is its wooden stage, which juts out over the hillside, offering panoramic views of the cherry and maple trees below, as well as the city of Kyoto. The stage is supported by hundreds of wooden pillars, constructed without the use of nails—a testament to traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The temple complex also includes the Jishu Shrine, dedicated to the deity of love and matchmaking. Visitors can try to walk between two stones with their eyes closed—if successful, it is said they will find true love. Kiyomizu-dera is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is especially popular during the cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons. The temple's architecture, natural surroundings, and cultural significance make it a must-visit destination in Japan.

Sannenzaka Ninenzaka

Explore Kyoto’s timeless beauty by strolling through Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, two historic lanes leading to the iconic Yasaka Pagoda. These stone-paved streets, lined with traditional wooden shops and teahouses, offer a glimpse into Japan's Edo period. Capture the stunning view of the five-story Yasaka Pagoda towering above, especially enchanting during cherry blossom season or at sunset. Whether shopping for Kyoto crafts, enjoying local delicacies, or simply soaking in the serene atmosphere, a visit to Ninenzaka, Sannenzaka, and Yasaka Pagoda is a journey into the heart of Kyoto's rich cultural heritage.

    It was a magical tour. Of course because of the beauty of the places in Kyoto, but above all thanks to Nozo, my tour guide. He speaks a perfect english, and so he has very well explained all the places that we visited, and also answered to all my questions about Japanese culture! He is very gentle and professional! We stopped to have lunch in a tipical sushi restaurant and it was amazing! When you have such a short time, I more than recommend this tour and Nozo as a tour guide! I fell in love with Kyoto!

    Christine was excellent. She helped customize a tour that would cover all iconic Kyoto sights, had incredible knowledge of all sites, was well prepared, had the time very well calculated, was very flexible with us, and had excellent suggestions re dining locations. Helped us with our own shore excursion. Picked us up and dropped us off at port. Also arranged for driver and luxury van so she was really guiding us while someone else was driving. She has great English language and great command of the culture and the sights. We loved her. We highly recommend her.

    Our guide for the day, Lewis, was knowledgeable and flexible. Although the crowds were large and it rained throughout most of the day, we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We could not have seen as much of Kyoto without Lewis.
