Explore Kyoto on a private tour designed to make the most of your day, with the convenience of being picked up from your hotel in either Osaka or Kyoto. Throughout the day, you'll discover the essence of the former Japanese capital, combining history, tradition, and charming areas.

After meeting at your accommodation, we'll head to our first stop: Nijo Castle, one of the most important residences in feudal Japan. Here, you'll learn about the history of the shogunate and stroll through its gardens while discovering how the leaders of the time lived.

We'll continue to the iconic Kinkaku-ji, the famous Golden Pavilion. Surrounded by a lake and elegant gardens, this temple offers one of the most iconic and photographed images of Japan.

From there, we'll take the bus to the historic Higashiyama district, one of the best-preserved areas in Kyoto. We'll stroll through its traditional streets until we reach the iconic Hokan-ji Pagoda, a symbol of the city's classic landscape.

The tour will end in the charming Gion district, known for its traditional atmosphere and for being home to geishas and maikos. Here you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the most authentic Kyoto and, with a bit of luck, see one of them on her way to an appointment.

As this is a private tour, you can enjoy a flexible experience, adapted to your pace and with the personalised attention of your guide.
