Private car tour Let's uncover secrets of majestic Kyoto history
Let’s uncover the majestic history of Kyoto in the hidden temples!
The English-speaking Japanese guide, Takashi delivers rare experience with 10 pax big van ride. Kyoto is known as the former capital before Tokyo, lasting 1000yrs. The issue is main sights are over populated. So my mission is bringing you to undiscovered sights and let you immerse the culture. My selections are stunning and full of surprises.
This tour will provide you with a chance to go to off the beaten path spots rather than doing completely crowded touristy places. Let's take a breath in at tranquil and peaceful places!
Aside from historic heritages, special activity such as Sake-tasting is a lot fun. My lunch selection is another big highlight (Sushi, Ramen, Tempura etc). The real itinerary is secret and won’t be disclosed until the tour!! (The tour itinerary shown is just an example.)
Custom tour will be available with different price. Please let me know!

What's included in Private car tour Let's uncover secrets of majestic Kyoto history
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine
This shrine will immerse you in the remarkable view of thousands of tri-gates. Surprisingly, one whole mountain is the shrine premises, including long stretch of bamboo forest taril and peaceful birds chirping. Some giant gates and buildings in the entrance are very clean and beautiful, but as it goes deeper, more abandoned but solemn shrines appear, which look being depicted in some anime. It is a way to go to this huge shrine with guide's help to reach out to those mentioned above unless you are good with hitting to massive crowd.
Kennin-ji Temple
【Secret temple】(The temple name are only be disclosed on the tour) Extremely gorgeous moss garden in this temple will astonish you. The temple is not visited by many people due to its distant and inconvenient location. As you enter the temple, wide open tatami mat floor are spread out, and naturally inviting you to enjoy the garden from the porch. Sitting on tatami, porch and having fresh air is invigorating.
Ryoanji Temple
One of the largest temples in northern Kyoto. Millions of tiny rocks are well-organaized, making up a big temple garden. In this temple, you can get in touch with the rich history of big Buddhism skism in Japan. You would not see many other visitors here. Definitely hidden gem.
