Tour Highlights:
Ginkaku-ji (Silver Pavilion)

Kiyomizu-dera Temple
- Perched dramatically on a hillside, this UNESCO World Heritage Site provides panoramic views over the city. Your guide will explain the architectural marvel of the temple’s wooden stage and the folklore behind its origins.
Ryoan-ji or Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
- Depending on your interests, choose between Ryoan-ji’s profound rock garden designed for meditation, or the surreal beauty of Arashiyama’s towering bamboo forest—a favorite for photographers and nature lovers alike.
