    A World Heritage site. The wooden architecture is covered in thin layers of pure gold and is surrounded by a beautiful pond.
  • Kyoto Imperial Palace

On days when the Kyoto Imperial Palace is closed to visitors, the tour will visit Kitano Tenmangu Shrine (disembark for sightseeing) as an alternative destination. This shrine is famous for the god of learning, and its main hall is a designated national treasure. The shrine is especially great to see during the plum blossom and autumn leaf seasons.
