This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after
they redeem the gift voucher.
Overview
We will take you beyond the usual sightseeing spots and into the heart of Kyoto’s historic Higashiyama district, where tradition still lives and breathes. You’ll explore four of the area’s most atmospheric locations — Yasaka Shrine, Kodaiji Temple’s Zen garden, and the famous Yasaka Pagoda (Hōkan-ji Temple) — each revealing a different side of Kyoto’s spiritual and cultural heritage.
Unlike large bus tours, this experience is led by a local English-speaking guide who shares stories, hidden paths, and insights you won’t find in guidebooks. You’ll stroll through narrow stone streets lined with wooden houses, hear legends about the afterlife at Rokudo Chinno-ji, and stand beneath the five-story Yasaka Pagoda for one of the city’s most iconic views.
This tour is perfect for travelers who want to see Kyoto like a local, learn the deeper meanings behind its traditions, and enjoy a calm yet unforgettable journey through Japan’s ancient capital.

Kodai-ji TempleKodaiji Temple, built in 1606, is one of Kyoto’s most elegant Zen temples. Its beautifully designed gardens feature raked gravel, tranquil ponds, and graceful maple and cherry trees that change color with the seasons. The temple is especially magical in the early morning, when the grounds are quiet and the reflection of the trees dances on the water.

The elegant five-story pagoda rises gracefully above the traditional streets of Higashiyama, creating a picture-perfect view of old Kyoto.
