- Kinkakuji Temple - Kinkakuji Temple is a Zen Buddhist temple located in Kyoto, Japan. Renowned for its exquisite architecture, the top two floors are adorned with gold leaf, beautifully mirrored in the adjacent pond.

The surrounding gardens are meticulously designed to highlight the elegance of the traditional Japanese landscape. It is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a favored tourist destination.
- Arashiyama - Arashiyama is a charming natural tourist spot situated in the western suburbs of Kyoto. This area has been a popular destination since the Heian period (794-1185), when aristocrats appreciated its natural beauty. Arashiyama is particularly favored in the fall for its vibrant autumn leaves and in the spring for its cherry blossoms. The Togetsu Bridge serves as the central landmark of Arashiyama, offering a panoramic view of the expansive river. Nearby, visitors can find a boat pier, the renowned bamboo grove street, numerous restaurants, and shopping options for all ages.
- Kiyomizu-dera Temple - Kiyomizu-Dera Temple is among Japan’s most renowned temples. It serves as the main temple of the Northern Hōsō Sect, located on Mount Otowa in Kyoto, and is listed as a World Heritage Site. With a history spanning approximately 1,200 years, it predates the capital’s move to Heian-kyo. Visitors can explore Kiyomizu-Dera, one of Kyoto’s most famous temples, with a guide. The Kiyomizu-zaka (Kiyomizu Slope) path offers a chance to experience Japanese culture, shopping, traditional Kyoto cuisine, and kimonos. Visitors can also delve into Japanese history and culture while exploring the magnificent grounds. Enjoy this unique opportunity with an English-speaking guide.
- Gion - Gion is rich with Kyoto’s art and can be explored through its narrow alleys. It is an excellent place to uncover Kyoto’s ancient history and past, as the narrower the streets, the more one learns about Kyoto’s history and discovers hidden spots cherished by locals. Since the streets can be quite confusing, a guided tour is a wonderful way to avoid getting lost and to experience Kyoto’s culture in a way that is not possible through solo travel.
- Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine - Fushimi Inari is one of Japan’s most stunning, powerful, and renowned shrines, and is highly recommended as a tourist destination. The view of the thousand torii gates leading to the mountain’s summit is awe-inspiring, and even if visitors tire along the way, there is a place to turn back, allowing those with weaker legs to enjoy the view. Many visitors are delighted by the beautiful scenery. Fushimi Inari is steeped in history, with animal gods enshrined, and statues of foxes and animals are scattered throughout the path.
