What to expect
Come with us for an 8-hour visit of Kyoto on foot and by public transport.
We start at the famous Golden Pavilion, a symbol of Kyoto’s splendour with its exterior covered in gold leaf. Then we walk along the peaceful Path of Philosophy to reach the Silver Pavilion, known for its Zen garden, pagoda, and views over the city. More sober but just as beautiful, it offers a different atmosphere.
We continue to Kiyomizu-dera to admire its panoramic terrace and the surrounding temples set in nature. We end at Fushimi Inari Taisha, famous for its thousands of red torii gates.
A full day to discover Japan’s religious history, culture, architecture, and landscapes.

Ginkaku-ji embodies a subtle elegance: a place of silence and simplicity where beauty arises from restraint.

From afar, Ginkaku-ji blends seamlessly with its surroundings through shakkei (borrowed scenery), where the distant hills become part of the temple’s serene landscape.

Kiyomizudera, perched on a hillside in Kyoto, is famous for its wooden terrace that juts out over the valley, offering breathtaking views of cherry blossoms, autumn leaves, and the city below.

Fushimi Inari Taisha is renowned for its thousands of vibrant red torii gates that form winding paths up the sacred Mount Inari, creating a mesmerizing journey through Japan’s spiritual heart.
