What To Expect
Higashi Hongan-ji Temple
Higashi Hongan-ji is a major Jodo Shinshu Buddhist temple located in central Kyoto, established in 1602. Its vast grounds and impressive main hall attract many visitors. The main hall, called the Goeido, is one of the largest wooden structures in Japan — truly a sight to behold.
Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine
Fushimi Inari Shrine is the head shrine of over 30,000 Inari shrines across Japan, located in southern Kyoto. It’s famous for the thousands of bright red torii gates forming a tunnel along the mountain trails. People visit to pray for business success and family safety, and the hike to the summit is a must-do.

5.00We had an amazing e-bike tour in Kyoto with Mana. She was very kind and helpful even before the trip, reaching out to answer my questions and giving great advice about Kyoto and also Kobe, the city she is from. During the tour, we visited many beautiful and interesting spots that we might not have found on our own. Mana made the experience both fun and insightful, and at the end, she even surprised us with thoughtful handmade gifts. Such a warm and personal touch! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kyoto.
An amazing way to see Kyoto!
