What to expect

Kyoto (京都) was the capital of Japan for over a thousand years. In those eleven centuries the city accumulated seventeen UNESCO World Heritage Sites, over 1,600 Buddhist temples and 400 Shinto shrines. It was spared from the bombing of the Second World War. The result is a city where the layers of Japanese history are visible and walkable.

On this private full-day tour your guide builds the day around you — your pace, your interests, your version of Kyoto. The classic route takes in Fushimi Inari at dawn, Kinkaku-ji before the crowds thicken, Gion’s stone-paved lanes in the afternoon and Arashiyama to close. But your guide knows the alternatives, the quieter temples, the neighbourhoods most visitors do not have time to understand.
