5.00The first stop of the trip was very lucky to witness the Kyoto Marathon, but due to the road closures, it was not possible to enter the Kinkakuji Temple. Thanks to the improvisation of Takatoshi (noisy), the order of the trip was adjusted, and the time was taken to book lunch in the car for those who needed it, to ensure that everyone could visit all the classics and eat lunch on time.
Great experience, you can visit 3 beautiful Kyoto views at once

5.00This is a really good trip if you want to experience some beautiful temples in Kyoto, try some delicious food, visit some cute little towns, and experience petting cute little deers and feeding them! We had such a blast and I even got to rent a kimono in Kyoto and return it in our second stop. Shoutout to Eigai for making this trip exception, I highly recommended!
