  • Depart from Tokyo using the bullet train Nozomi.
  • Kiyomizu-dera Temple
    Founded in 780, it is one of the most visited and celebrated temples in Japan. It is famous for its stage over the clear water (kiyomizu) to enjoy picturesque scenery, truly a sight to behold! Some people really jump off the stage to make significant decisions in the past from the saying "take a plunge such as jumping off the Kiyomizu stage".
  • Nene-no-Michi
    Walk from Kiyomizu-dera to Yasaka Shrine. It's a lively and photogenic town lined with various shops along the slopes.
  • Yasaka Shrine
    Yasaka Shrine is one of the iconic shrines in Kyoto located in the Gion district famous for maikos.
  • Hanamikoji Street
    Hanamikoji is the main street of Gion, which reigns as the pinnacle of Kyoto's five entertainment districts. As you enter the street, you will see Ichiriki, the most prestigious tea house. Ichiriki is not allowed at first glance. The construction makes it impossible to see the inside of the tea house just like a castle wall.
  • Pontocho District
    Walk through Pontocho, one of Kyoto's five entertainment districts. Stroll in the narrow alley with crowded rowhouses where the tea house culture still exists.
  • You can enjoy an elegant lunch at Restaurant Ganko's charming Japanese house, where a tributary of the Kamogawa River flows through the premises. It will be a course meal from 4000yen to 16,000yen. Or find a different place on the day.
  • Kinkakuji Temple
    Also known as the Golden Pavilion, it is a gorgeous temple. What a nouveau riche idea to cover the surface of temple buildings with gold leaf. But the Shogun was amazing at following through on his words. There is no temple like this anywhere in the world.
  • Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine
    When you pass through the Torii gate, you enter a sacred world. While all shrines have torii gates, Fushimi Inari Shrine stands out for its sheer number and impressive presence! Indeed, every corner of the shrine is a photo spot!
