Itinerary
1. Start your tour at Fushimi Inari Taisha, the head shrine of over 30,000 Inari shrines in Japan. Spend an hour exploring this iconic site, known for its thousands of striking vermilion torii gates. These gates form a seemingly-endless path which you can wander through on your visit. Originally dedicated to the gods of agriculture, Fushimi Inari is not just a spiritual center but also a symbol of breathtaking beauty and cultural significance.
2. We'll walk through the cool and shady Bamboo Forest, which is great for pictures. You will also see the Togetsukyo (moon-crossing bridge). You can also explore the area, enjoy local snacks, or have lunch (included if selected)
3. The gold-leaf covered Golden Pavilion was once the villa of the Ashikaga Shogun, and is now a Zen Temple / UNESCO Heritage Site.
4. At Kiyomizu-dera, one of the most iconic temples in Japan, walk across the impressive wooden stage, which juts out from the hillside and was constructed without the use of a single nail. The temple boasts a wide view overlooking Kyoto and the beautiful surrounding nature. You can also drink from one of the three rejuvenating streams of Otowa Waterfall, said to bring success, love, and longevity.
