Departing from Kyoto City Subway’s Keage Station, we will pass by Himukai Daijingu Shrine before making our way towards Mt. Daimonjiyama. As we ascend to the mountain's peak, you'll be greeted with panoramic views of Kyoto, stretching as far as Osaka. After descending towards Imadegawa Street, our journey will conclude at a charming local ramen restaurant.
Kyoto City Subway (Tozai line) Keage Station
- I will meet you in front of the ticket gate of the station (Only one ticket gate there).
This is a shrine known as a god of good fortune, warding off evil, and matchmaking.
From here, you'll have a view of the southwest of Kyoto. On clear days, you can even catch sight of "Abeno-Harukas," a towering building in Osaka standing at 340 meters tall, despite it being approximately 47 kilometers to the southwest of Kyoto.
After reaching the peak, we'll descend slightly to Hidoko, a spot where bonfires are lit on the evening of August 16th. From here, you'll enjoy a panoramic view of the city center.

“Kanae of Kyoto - Amazing Guide”
We had a wonderful guided journey through Kyoto with Kanae. Kanae guided My hubby, myself and our 6 year old daughter (who was very tired after 6 days of touring prior). Having Kanae drive us around in her car was such a peaceful and relaxed Kyoto experience. Kanae was very well organised and she made the tour flow perfectly for us and our situation with our tired daughter. Kanae also took us to a traditional Japanese restaurant which was something we wanted to do…. We were the only foreigners in the restaurant. We 100% recommend Kanae to anybody reading this. Don’t think twice….. just book her, she is so lovely and really go’s the extra mile! Also for what it’s worth Kanae’s English is excellent!

“Tour of Kyoto”
Our tour was great. It was targeted to the things we wanted to see. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Our host Kanae was wonderful. She was prepared with everything you would need. Umbrellas and ice cold drinks in the severe heat were key. She communicated prior to the trip which made things worry free for us. I highly recommend you book a tour with Kanae. We were able to see much more than we would have on our own in the short time we had in Kyoto.
