Overview

We aim to transform your travel experience from ordinary sightseeing to meaningful encounters. Undoubtedly, you'll have the chance to cherish precious moments that go beyond typical visits to famous tourist spots.

During this tour, you will engage in a dialogue with Mr. Shoin Onishi in the Jojuin Garden of Kiyomizu-dera Temple, which is normally a private area. Through conversations with selected individuals, you can uncover the essence of Kyoto.

Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to explore several usually non-public areas at Kiyomizu-dera, such as the West Gate, accompanied by the temple's monk.

For each segment of the journey, a professional interpreter guide will accompany you, and a private taxi will provide transfers from your accommodation.
