What to expect
Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine
Start your journey at the southernmost tip of the Higashiyama mountain range with the unrivaled magnificence of Fushimi Inari Shrine. Here, transport yourself to another world underneath the thousands of mystical, vermilion torii gates, as your guide explains the meaning behind the architecture and symbolism. Founded in 711 AD, this shrine has lots of stories to tell.
Hanamikoji Street
A quick train ride takes us to the granddaddy of Kyoto entertainment districts, the Gion, where Geisha still reside and entertain to this day. Pass by the awe-inspiring Kabuki theater, then stroll the tea house string of pearls known as Hanami Koji Street. The beautifully preserved medieval architecture in this area transports you straight back the Edo period (1603-1868).
Yasui-Konpiragu
Pay a visit to Kyoto's most notorious love shrine where people don't just wish for their soul mate, but also revenge. See if you can crawl through the power stone said to help strengthen bonds with those you love, and cut out the toxic ties in your life.
Yasakanoto
Behold the breathtaking Yasaka Pagoda that towers over the Eastern Mountain district. Its authoritative stance has been part of the district's fabric since 1440 AD. We'll stop by this architectural wonder on our way up to Sannenzaka street.
Kodai-ji Temple
Blissfully less crowded then some other must-see spots in Kyoto, Kodaiji temple allows you to bask in the serenity of its gardens and just generally breathe it all in. The temple complex hosts the mausoleum and remains of two heroes from the end of the Warring States period in the late 16th century, the 2nd great unifier Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and his wife, Nene. There was a time when the temple was enrobed in luxuriant lacquer, with crushed precious metal inlay achieved through a technique called “Maki-e”. Despite many fires, there is still one original structure with the fading lacquer and murals as well as the immaculately preserved mausoleum itself, where you can see the spectacular, enduring craftsmanship up close and first hand. For an additional 500 yen, you can also enjoy some fresh whisked matcha tea with a small sweet as you gaze at the serene gardens.
Sannenzaka Ninenzaka
Two beautifully preserved pilgrimage streets that lead to the famous Kiyomizudera (pure water) Temple. Lined with bustling shops and townhouses in the medieval style, with lovely, unobstructed, lines of sight.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
