Full description

See some of Kyoto's highlights on this guided tour. Meet your expert guide and visit Arashiyama, where you can enjoy a delicious buffet-style lunch with soft drinks to prepare you for an afternoon of sightseeing. After lunch, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Listed Kiyomizudera Temple, one of the most celebrated temples in Japan, founded in 780 on the site of the Otowa Waterfall. The tour continues onto Fushimi Inari, world-famous for the thousands of Torii gates that line the entrance to the Shinto Shrine. Spend some free time exploring the mountain trails and the shrine buildings themselves, and learn about the fascinating culture of Japan. Beat the traffic and take the train with your professional guide from JR Kyoto Station to Arashiyama or Fushimi Inari Taisha (depending on the train schedule of that day). During the journey, feel immersed in nature as you admire the beautiful blossom trees and breathtaking mountain views. The tour ends after your visit to Fushimi Inari. If the first sightseeing place is Fushimi Inari Taisha, the bus will drop you off at JR Kyoto Station. Otherwise, your expert guide will give you a train ticket at Fushimi Inari Taisha to get back to JR Kyoto Station.

If you are only staying in Kyoto for a short time this is the tour for you. We managed to visit an impressive amount of beautiful locations. It is a bit rushed, but it is to be expected considering the list of attractions. Our guide Hiro was excellent, making sure everyone knew where to be and what to do, which is critical if you want to make the most out of the limited time at each place. My advice: if you have buffet lunch try to eat something quick to have more time for the bamboo path and its beauties.

This was a really great tour however I would skip the lunch and find someplace to eat intown. Be prepared to walk alit and climb up a lot of stairs when you go on this outing. Felt it was well worth the time and a good value. The train was really fun, too.
