Kinkaku-ji
One of Kyoto's most iconic landmarks is the Kinkaku-ji, also known as the Golden Pavilion. This stunning Zen Buddhist temple is adorned with gold leaf and overlooks a tranquil pond, creating a mesmerizing reflection that enchants every visitor. Another prominent temple is the Kiyomizu-dera, famous for its wooden terrace that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city.
Ryoan-ji
Kyoto is also renowned for its beautiful traditional gardens, which serve as an oasis of peace amidst the bustling cityscape. The Ryoan-ji Zen garden, with its meticulously arranged rocks and raked gravel, provides a serene space for meditation and contemplation.
Kodai-ji
Similarly, the Kodai-ji garden showcases impeccable landscaping, complete with a teahouse that allows visitors to partake in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony.
Fushimi Inari Taisha
For history enthusiasts, the Fushimi Inari Taisha is a must-see destination. This Shinto shrine is famous for its thousands of vibrant red torii gates that lead up to the sacred Mount Inari. The path through the gates provides a memorable hike and is often associated with good fortune and success.
Nishiki Market
The Nishiki Market is a food lover's paradise, offering a vast array of fresh seafood, traditional snacks, and local delicacies. Trying some Kyoto specialties, such as matcha-flavored sweets or a bowl of savory yudofu (tofu hot pot), is an essential part of the culinary experience in this city.

“Exceptional service – above and beyond!”
We had the most amazing experience with this agency. From the very start, they were incredibly responsive, patient, and thoughtful in helping us plan our trip. Traveling with elderly parents and young children can be a logistical challenge, but they handled every detail with care and professionalism. What truly stood out was how they went above and beyond—adjusting our itinerary multiple times without hesitation, accommodating special requests, and even providing helpful tips during the trip itself. The driver assigned to us was friendly, punctual, and genuinely invested in making our experience memorable. This level of service is rare, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a worry-free, well-organized, and warm-hearted travel experience. Thank you for making our family trip so special SoQ!

“Life savers”
I called last minute for a ride from Minakami to Yamanashi for me, my wife, and our 3 kids and they delivered a driver who arrived right on time, spoke perfect English, was super friendly, and stopped at a few restaurants stops with incredible food options. The van was very nicely appointed and he got us to our destination safely. I would definitely use them again.
