Kyoto never gets tourists tired. Nature, gardens, history, culture, art and food surround you. "The Authentic Kyoto Tour" is planned for those who wish to enjoy Kyoto's history, culture, food and nature. Tell me the priority spots you want to visit, and I'll select one or two of the best seasonal spots for you to add to your itinerary. For example, after walking around busy spots, calm, quiet places are preferably a good choice. I'm sure that you will bring good memories of Kyoto back home.

Kyoto

Fushimi Inari Shrine, famous for many torii gates like an orange tunnel. But most tourists just visit only the entrance. I would like to show you the deep inside of Fushimi Inari Shrine through tunnel and take you to the top of mountain. From Inari mountain, we will walk a part of “Higashiyama Trail” hiking course, then we will visit the family temple of imperial house and Sanjusangen-do temple.

There are a lot of wonderful places in Kyoto, especially in the cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons. But, because of that, such places are so busy. So I escort you to not busy, but still beautiful places. Sometimes I wonder why tourists don't visit those places. This tour is to visit such places and I don't walk on a busy road. In the end, I'd like to recommend a restaurant, considering your allergy or preference.
