Kyoto Satoyama Cycling with Lunch and English guide

Kyoto Taishakuten is a beautiful temple nestled in the hills on the outskirts of Kyoto City. As you ascend the mountain path, you strike 108 bells one by one, offering prayers with each sound. Before reaching the main hall, you pass through the "Wisdom Ring" to purify your mind and body before paying your respects. At the summit, ringing the large bell sends its deep resonance echoing through the mountains, cleansing your soul. By the time you descend the mountain, you will feel like a renewed version of yourself.
