Activity itinerary

Nijo Castle
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Brilliant huge complex and shiny golden items are proof of the powerful governance presented by the Tokugawa shogunate. After the severe wartime of Midlee ages ends, it brings 200 years of peaceful period until the arrival of Perry. Their gunboat diplomacy rushed Japan to shift the nation and attitude to diplomacy. The castle introduces the history of this time with some unique displays.
Kyoto Sento Imperial Palace (Sento Gosho)
  • 1h
Kyoto Gosho, a massive Kyoto imperial palace had been the centre of the former government. As emperors have been respected as descendants of god, every clan and ruler served him and offered a variety of spectacular items. We still can enjoy their art and props sustaining for a long time.
Ginkakuji Temple
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Ginkaku-ji (Silver Pavilion) was so named in the Edo Period in contrast with Kinkaku-ji (Gold Pavilion). The palace became a Zen Rinzai School temple after the ruler died. Ginkaku-ji still retains the aesthetic-seeking spirit of Yoshimasa even 500 years later.
Philosopher's Walk
  • 1h
The Philosopher's Path (哲学の道, Tetsugaku no Michi) is a pleasant stone path through the northern part of Kyoto's Higashiyama district. The path follows a canal that is lined by hundreds of cherry trees. Usually in early April, these trees explode with colour, making this one of the city's most popular hanami (cherry blossom viewing) spots. Approximately two kilometres long, the path begins around Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion) and ends in the area of Nanzenji. The path got its name due to Nishida Kitaro, one of Japan's most famous philosophers, who was said to practice meditation while walking this route on his daily commute to Kyoto University.
Nanzen-ji Temple
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Visitors will first come across Nanzenji's massive Sanmon entrance gate, which extends over the treetops. The gate was constructed in 1628 by the ruling Tokugawa clan for soldiers who died in the siege of Osaka Castle in 1615.
Kiyomizu-dera Temple
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Kiyomizudera (清水寺, literally "Pure Water Temple") is one of the most celebrated temples in Japan. It was founded in 780 on the site of the Otowa Waterfall in the wooded hills east of Kyoto
Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine
  • 1h
Fushimi Inari Shrine (伏見稲荷大社, Fushimi Inari Taisha) is an important Shinto shrine in southern Kyoto. It is famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates, which straddle a network of trails behind its main buildings. The trails lead into the wooded forest of the sacred Mount Inari, which stands at 233 metres and belongs to the shrine grounds. Fushimi Inari is the most important of several thousands of shrines dedicated to Inari, the Shinto god of rice. Foxes are thought to be Inari's messengers, resulting in many fox statues across the shrine grounds. Fushimi Inari Shrine has ancient origins, predating the capital's move to Kyoto in 794.
