Each season in Kyoto brings a unique charm. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom around Kiyomizu-dera and Maruyama Park, drawing crowds of visitors. Summer features the vibrant Gion Festival, full of tradition and excitement. In autumn, Arashiyama and Tofuku-ji are painted with fiery red maple leaves. Winter adds a quiet elegance, especially when the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji) is dusted with snow.
Kyoto is also the birthplace of many traditional arts such as the tea ceremony, kimono dressing, and flower arrangement (ikebana). Walking through the stone-paved streets of Gion in a kimono feels like stepping back in time.
Whether you're a history lover, a cultural explorer, or someone seeking tranquility, Kyoto is a city that will leave a lasting impression.

What To Expect
Kinkakuji Temple
Kinkakuji Temple, a three-storey pavilion covered in gold leaf that is one of the most famous and recognizable of all the historic buildings in Kyoto. It has been selected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will see the golden reflection of the temple in the still mirror water surface. And try to pray in front of those statues for fortune and luck.
Tenryuji Temple
Constructed in the year 1339, Tenryuji Temple stands as a testament to a bygone era, once a vast complex encompassing over a hundred sub-temples. Today, only a select few of these structures have withstood the test of time. The crown jewel of this sacred site is its garden—an exemplar of classical Japanese garden artistry, where each stone and pond tells a story of ancient Zen philosophy and meticulous design, inviting you to a peaceful journey through the ages. You will see the one of the finest examples of traditional Japanese garden design. Don't miss the Michelin-starred Shigetsu, which is a a Zen vegetarian restaurant.

5.00Riko drove us around the whole day in Kyoto and was a great host. The day of our tour was pouring rain so he suggested other activities for us to do that would've kept us dry. We did opt out and stuck to the original plans but we appreciated his thoughtfulness. He was extremely friendly and patient with us. We never felt rushed by Riko. He would drop us off and then send a WhatsApp message on where to meet afterwards. He was a great driver/host. The van was clean and had water bottles for us in every cup holder. There was even wifi in the car. We highly recommend booking this experience and request Riko!
