Overview of your Kyoto tour:

With over 1, 100 years of history, Kyoto is filled with cultural sites that attract millions of visitors every year. Most visitors only visit a handful of sites while there are here. As a result, if you only visit the "main attraction" you will spend your entire time in Kyoto surrounded by dense crowds. In this tour we will avoid the crowds and go to the some of the lesser known but very important cultural sites on the east side of Kyoto. As we enjoy traditional architecture, gardens, art, statuary, and good food your mind will be transported to a far away time where you can feel the deep energy of Kyoto.

Your Kyoto tour itinerary

● Meet at Higashiyama Station (Tozai Line). We will then take about a 10 minutes taxi ride to Eikando. ● Visit Eikando. Known for it's beautiful architecture, gardens, and art, this temple is usually very quiet and offers us a chance to get close to nature. ● Walk to Shirakawain. This traditional inn has a small but beautiful garden that we can walk through and enjoy peaceful moments away from the crowds. ● Walk to Heian Jingu. Heian Jingu is one of the most important shrines in all of Kyoto. Here we will explore Heian period architecture and gardens. ● Lunch ● We will then take a 15 minute taxi to Sanjusangendo and explore the 1, 0001 golden Buddha statues in this temple hall. ● Walk to the Kawai Kanjiro Memorial House. This former home of a well known artist is filled with wonderful art from the mid 1900's.
