Activity itinerary

Kinkaku-ji

Kinkaku-ji, officially named Rokuon-ji, is renowned for its Shariden hall completely covered in gold leaf. Originally a villa of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, it was later converted into a Zen temple. The golden pavilion reflected in Kyoko-chi Pond offers breathtaking beauty in every season, especially amid autumn leaves or winter snow.

Kiyomizu-dera Temple

3h
Admission ticket included

Kiyomizu-dera, one of Kyoto's oldest temples founded in 778, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its iconic wooden stage juts out from the main hall, supported by 139 massive pillars without a single nail, offering panoramic views of Kyoto. The three streams of Otowa Waterfall represent longevity, academic success, and love.

Fushimi Inari Taisha (Pass by)

Fushimi Inari Taisha is the head shrine of some 30,000 Inari shrines nationwide, famous for its Senbon Torii. The seemingly endless path of vermilion torii gates, donated by individuals and businesses, winds through the forest. The shrine honours Inari, the god of rice, with foxes as sacred messengers. The fox-shaped ema are popular for creative doodles and prayers.
