Overview
In the 19th century, French painter Rousseau appealed to the government to protect the beautiful Fontainebleau Forest from the advance of industrial development and deforestation. Moved by his conviction, many artists including Millet settled in the nearby village of Barbizon, seeking harmony between nature, art, and spirituality. They later became known as the Barbizon School, and their work had a profound influence on the birth of Impressionism.
A sacred place where nature and culture blend in such harmony can be found in Japan as well—Kyoto. The city still preserves its deep history, rich culture, natural beauty, and spiritual depth. The sound of flowing water, the moss-covered gardens, and the fleeting beauty of falling petals quietly awaken things we tend to overlook in daily life.
I especially enjoy guiding people to Kyoto’s hidden spots—peaceful places far from the crowds. Wouldn't you like to rediscover the feeling of living close to nature in these quiet corners of the city?

is one of the 16 World Heritage Sites in Kyoto. It was built 400 years ago by Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. As there is no original palace except NIjho Castle, Its value is historically and architecturally priceless. In addition, gorgeous wall paintings and its lord garden attract your attention. It is like a living museum, indeed. In this visit, you come to know about Shogun Ieyasu’s intention of building the palace.
-
Ryoanji Templeis also a world heritage site in Kyoto, internationally famous for its dry garden. The garden consists of white sand, moss, and 15 rocks. Through the visit to this temple, you will know why zen attracts people today and also understand why samurai supported zen. Another attraction is maple trees, which heal and relax people throughout the year.
-
Shoren-in Temple (Shoren-in Monzeki)is the highlight of this tour. This is not a world heritage site, but it has enormous historical and cultural value. It’s no exaggeration to say that you cannot visit Kyoto without visiting Shorenin. Once you enter the temple, you will instantly notice the difference from other destinations. The essence of Kyoto and Japan is condensed here. This is the authentic Kyoto I’ll invite you to.
-
Gion ShirakawaAt the end of the tour, you walk along Shirakawa Riverside. Unlike Gion Shirakawa, it has much fewer visitors. The riverside with willow trees is quiet and serene. You can feel the atmosphere of the traditional townscape.
-
Kyoto City Nakagyo Area GymnasiumFood is one of the attractions you can enjoy in Kyoto. This lunch place is the best. Delicious, reasonable price, friendly atmosphere. All my clients get happy after eating here.
