Overview of your Kyoto tour:

Without visiting the eastern Kyoto, you can't talk about Kyoto, that is what people say. Probably for these areas are so intrigued with the mixed cultures of Zen stoicism and Gion hospitality: Silver pavilion, for example, has a riddle why it is called so, despite no silver being covered. You may read the riddle while enjoying your stroll along the serene Zen garden. Philosopher's path with the pretty water canal will give you unforgettable memories, especially with cherry blossoms in spring, or colorful foliage in autumn. At Nanzenji temple, you may be amazed with the huge wooden gate stood in Zen garden. Higashiyama old town and Gion will welcome you with the hospitality in Kyoto style, especially with people wearing traditional Kimono. At Kiyomizudera temple, you can enjoy a bird eyes view of Kyoto from the famous wooden terrace supported by 139 wooden columns built without nails. Around evening, we wander about Gion, a Geisya district, with their work places and school, trying to see Maiko on the street.
