From Bamboo to Hidden Shrines: Kyoto’s Private Escape Tour by Car
$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.

Arashiyama Bamboo ForestOne of Kyoto’s most iconic sights, this beautiful bamboo forest offers a serene walk through towering green stalks. Unlike most visitors, we drive to a less crowded area deeper in the grove, so you won’t need to walk far—and there’s a high chance to take photos without other people in the background. Your guide will lead you to the best photo spots.
-
Otagi Nenbutsu-ji TempleA unique and charming temple filled with over 1,000 expressive stone statues. Many visitors enjoy finding one that resembles themselves. This hidden gem is gaining popularity as one of Arashiyama’s most delightful surprises.
-
A mystical shrine tucked deep in the forest, far from the tourist path. Its main hall, a Registered Tangible Cultural Property, sits quietly among the trees. Locals revere it as a true spiritual power spot, where the air itself feels sacred.
-
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.
If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
