Our Favourites
Enjoy a scenic hike offering breathtaking views of Kyoto, including the iconic Kiyomizu-dera Temple. After reaching the viewing point, relax with panoramic views and savor two onigiri rice balls—traditional, hand-shaped rice snacks with fillings like tuna or salmon. These simple, beloved treats are part of Japanese culture, often enjoyed outdoors after a hike. We’ll also visit the Houkoku-byo Mausoleum, tied to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the leader who unified Japan. The hike blends Kyoto's natural beauty with its rich history, leaving you with a sense of accomplishment and unforgettable memories.
