What you can expect
Begin your tour by meeting your guide at the selected meeting point. Then depart for your first stop, Kinkakuji, also known as the Golden Pavilion. Enter Kinakuji (at your own expense) and wander the Zen temple. Admire its top 2 floors covered in gold leaves.
Learn about the temple's past as a villa of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and according to his will, how it became a Zen temple of the Rinzai sect after his death.
After Kinkakuji head to the Kiyomizu Temple Area where you will have time to yourself. A recommended itinerary is to have a kimono experience (at your own expense). Those interested can change into kimonos, stroll the streets, and visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
Choose to visit the historic streets of Nineizaka and Sanneizaka, the traditional Ishibei-koji alley, the famous Hanamikoji Street known for geishas and maikos, or the Yasaka Shinto Shrine. During this time, stop for lunch on your own.
Conclude your tour with a visit to the Fushimi-Inari Taisha Shrine. Known for its Senbon Torii, walk along the endless rows of these orange gates and remunerate about your day, or pray for loved ones before heading back to the meeting point.
