Itinerary not perfect? Message Jay T. to build a tour that’s just right for you.
Start at the ancient, pure, pristine top, and slowly slide deep into the underbelly of Kyoto, Japan as afternoon passes into evening. (This is an easier 'hill hike' than most people offer, since we go downhill almost all the way!) -Learn why a famous temple was placed on its mountaintop setting (and it's not what they say) -The hustle and bustle of shopping streets older than most countries -Secret spots and hidden hideaways away from the crowd -See one of the most famous gardens and explore temple construction -Unusual facts about how temples age and are decorated -Enjoy Japanese traditional snacks, as you like -How the Geisha lived in the past, as well as now -See how Japanese cities must have looked in the past Activities may vary by day/time (e. g. museums usually close on Mondays, many shops close at ~4:30PM or 5:00PM in Uji) Unlisted 'bonus' activities added as time permits. All times approximate. This tour may be further customized! Please message me.
My tours DO NOT have a fixed Itinerary. Please read my profile. I can't exactly help being a bit of a showman during my tours, and I will talk a bit about myself and my background. I enjoy meeting people from all places and of all races. I support Ukraine. LGBTQ+ friendly! -Meet at Kyoto Station (or perhaps your hotel) -Taxi trip to Higashiyama area (I pay for one of them ~2, 000 yen) -Visit Kiyomizidera temple -Walk down ancient shopping streets -Stop for samples, shopping, or photos—there's no hurry! -Special 'unlisted' stops -Visit a unique temple and gardens -Pass through a lovely park often lined with food and snack stalls (but not always, alas) -Explore Yasaka Shrine -Enter Gion area and explore, including the famous Hanamikoji street -Cross to a nearby area with buildings and a street still much they were 200 years ago! -Say goodbye at the popular Shijo shopping street (but I'll make sure you know how to get back to your hotel)
Contact your local guide to know more!!
Taxi to Higashiyama (I included fare for first one in your price. That would take 3 people plus me. Up to four more people could go in another.) This is a walking tour. Anywhere from 6-12 km of walking (4-8 miles-ish) in total. Mostly on the roadway, but the roadway edges can be rough in places. Also may be train, subway, bus. Wear cool clothing in summer, warm in winter. Bring umbrella/raincoat/ overcoat/gloves/ sunscreen/ hat/drinks, etc. Please prepare for the weather!
Kyoto, Kyoto, 600-8216 Japan
I might be able to meet at your hotel, or you might have a better idea where to meet.
