Kyoto’s Ultimate Hidden Gem: Private Car Tour to a Sacred Shrine
Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Kansai, Japan
$95.00
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after
they redeem the gift voucher.
Overview
Tired of the crowds and cookie-cutter tours?
This private tour is crafted for travelers seeking Kyoto’s quieter, spiritual side—the one guidebooks often miss.
We begin in Arashiyama at peaceful temples that are still considered must-visits, yet remain pleasantly uncrowded. From there, we drive into Kyoto’s northern countryside, away from the tourist map, into the deep green of forests and old villages.
You'll walk shaded paths, breathe in the scent of moss and trees, and visit sacred places known for their silence more than their fame. One stop includes a tranquil garden where time seems to pause. Another, a centuries-old shrine tucked deep in the mountains, doesn’t appear on maps—and its name is deliberately kept secret.
Some say it feels like entering another world. Others fall silent, moved by the stillness.
This isn’t just a sightseeing trip. It’s a meditative journey into Kyoto’s sacred quiet.
Special launch offer: 40% off for early guests.

Josho-ji TempleA peaceful hillside temple rich in history and seasonal beauty. Tucked away in northern Kyoto, Josho-ji offers a serene escape with its Edo-period gate, quiet grounds, and vibrant seasonal flowers.

Only accessible by car, this sacred site lies deep in the mountains, far beyond Kyoto’s urban edge. Known as “Kyoto’s last untouched sacred place,” it’s not even fully marked on maps. A moss-covered stone path and a torii gate rise quietly from a peaceful mountain village. The atmosphere feels as if you’ve stepped into another world. With over 1,000 years of history, it is truly Kyoto’s ultimate hidden gem.
