Overview
This tour is led by an Italian-Japanese couple living in Kyoto and will take you to discover not only the most iconic places in the city, but also the lesser known ones, selected thanks to our direct experience in the area. We will take you through temples, shrines and historic districts, but also to small local craft shops, antiques and hidden cafes, which we discovered in our daily lives. Our look combines the point of view of the Italian traveler with Japanese sensibility, offering an authentic, curated and deeply personal experience. It is not a simple sightseeing tour, but an immersion in the real Kyoto, with the warmth of those who live and love it every day.
