Kyoto Art, Culture, & Historical Tours
Fully customizable your own private tour in Kyoto
Kyoto
8 hours
There are so many great places in Kyoto that you probably want to visit but perhaps not enough time. Also, Kyoto is getting very crowded due to a lot of foreigners visiting there. It is best to have a local person guiding you to come up with a plan that suits your preference. I can create a tour with you which includes not only popular places like the Golden Pavilion and Fushimi Inari but small temples with Wabi Sabi such as those in Sagano and the oldest Japanese sweet shop in Murasakino.

Katsura Imperial Villa and Fushimi Inari
Kyoto
4 hours
Katsura Imperial Villa is too beautiful to express! In the early Edo period, Prince Toshihito, who excelled in both literature and the martial art from childhood, built the Villa. That is both tasteful and simple. We need to apply for the Imperial Household Agency to get in. I will apply for you by postcard. It takes an hour to see the villa by the special guide of the villa. The fee is free.

Eastern Highlights in Kyoto for the first time visitor - Full Day Tour -
Kyoto
8 hours
Kyoto is a big and traditonal city full of attractive things from old times to present day such as Zen temple gardens,Shito shrines, traditional café, local cuisine loved by Kyoto people, museums and so on. I think Kyoto is a kind of "Theme Park". You may encounter local people who pray to a deity in a small shrine next to shopping arcade. On this tour I would like to show you not only major sightseeing spots but also small tips. Let's discover the charms of Kyoto together with me.
