Let's Meet Kyoto.
Kyoto inspires with 2,000 religious sites, five geisha quarters and magnificent gardens. Our “Welcome to Kyoto” tour offers you a compact insight into the cultural treasures and special places of the former imperial city in around 5 hours.
Join us on this distinctive Kyoto bike tour as we guide you through charming streets, serene canals, and the tranquil flow of the Kamo River. Our cycling adventure aims to explore three of the city's most enchanting attractions.
Discover the sightseeing area in the east of Kyoto in about 6 hours. Among others, we visit probably the most beautiful Shinto shrine in Japan, the most important Buddhist temple in the city, picturesque streets, a geisha quarter and a mystical treasure hall.
Discover the wonders of Western Kyoto in 6 hours! From Arashiyama’s bamboo grove to Ryoan-ji’s Zen garden and the Golden Pavilion—experience nature, culture, and history before ending the tour in the city's oldest Geisha district.
We leverage our expertise and local connections to immerse you in Japan's distinctive culture and the splendor of Kyoto, tailored to your preferences.
Visit the Golden Pavilion and the Bamboo Grove in Arashiyama, two of Kyoto's most important landmarks. And discover the beauty of Japan's natural landscapes, traveling along winding mountain roads, past clear rivers, rice paddies, and remote villages.
