Highlights
- Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine - Wander along the famous trail of thousands of red torii gates that weave through the sacred Mount Inari. Even halfway up, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views. Look out for fox statues, which serve as guardians representing Inari, the deity of rice and sake. Note: This personalized experience may feature different locations selected by your host based on your interests.
- Kiyomizu-dera Temple - After exploring one of Kyoto’s most renowned temples, Kiyomizudera, immerse yourself in the charm of Kyoto’s historic Higashiyama district, known for its narrow lanes, wooden buildings, and traditional shops and cafes. Note: This personalized tour may include various destinations tailored to your preferences by your host.
- Yasaka Shrine - With a history spanning over 1350 years, Yasaka Shrine serves as the protector of Kyoto’s Gion entertainment district and is especially famous for its lively summer festival, the Gion Matsuri (July).

- Arashiyama - Located in Sagano village on Kyoto’s western side, the path through the Arashiyama bamboo grove offers a magical journey.
