Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan The spectacular tunnel of thousands vermilion torii gates is so famous and picturesque. These torii gates were offered by worshippers in appreciation of the good fortune they received from the deity enshrined here. Why don’t you, too, offer a prayer and change your luck?
60 minutes
Arashiyama, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan The renowned bamboo forest with its subtle hues of green and the sun slanting through has an exceptional beauty. The rustling of the leaves and the creaking of the trunks softly swaying in the breeze have a very relaxing effect. It’s an experience that you shouldn't miss while being in Kyoto.
70 minutes
Ryoanji Temple, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan This temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, houses the world famous Rock Garden, which was once praised by Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ. Though the garden itself is quite simple and small, only with rocks and white gravel, it can give you philosophical and spiritual inspiration.
50 minutes
Kinkakuji Temple, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan This famous Zen temple is an icon of Samurai culture. Although it is a very popular tourist destination, the unique sight of the Golden Pavilion is well worth a visit. You can get wonderful pictures of the gilded building and its beautiful appearance reflected in the pond. 50 minutes
Nishiki Market Shopping District, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan The Nishiki market, which has been popular with the people of Kyoto for 400 years, has 126 shops lined up in a 390-meter long street.

We were nervous booking this tour with no reviews but are SO glad we did!! Meg met us at Kyoto station early and no one else was signed up so we got a great private tour of Kyoto’s highlights. Meg was pleasant, informative and fun. Highly, highly recommend it.
Side note, be prepared for ALOT of walking!! We clocked 10 miles and 34 flights of stairs! We took a train, bus, slow train and another bus as well. It was a full 8 hour day but we got to see the highlights of Kyoto and all around the city itself. Again, EXCELLENT tour.
