(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Kiyomizu-dera Temple
Your guide will stop with you near Kiyomizudera Temple, one of Kyoto’s most iconic landmarks. From this viewpoint, you’ll hear about the temple’s rich history, its famous wooden stage overlooking the city, and the spiritual significance of the surrounding grounds. If you’d like to enter the inner areas, such as the Main Hall, the Kiyomizu Stage, and Otowa Waterfall, an entrance ticket is required (around ¥500–¥600). However, you’re also welcome to enjoy the surrounding historic area and browse the many famous traditional shops and snack stalls nearby without entering the paid zone.
Yasui-Konpiragu
Your guide will stop with you at Yasui-Konpiragu Shrine, known for its unique “enmusubi” (good luck in relationships) stone path. You'll learn about the shrine’s fascinating rituals where visitors crawl through a special hole in the stone to break bad ties and form good ones, a tradition rooted deeply in Kyoto’s spiritual culture.
Shimogamo Jinja
Your guide will stop with you at the entrance of Shimogamo Jinja, one of Kyoto’s oldest and most important Shinto shrines. Surrounded by an ancient forest, the shrine is a UNESCO World Heritage site with deep spiritual roots.
