What To Expect
Begin your day at Nanzen-ji, one of Kyoto’s most important Zen temples, known for its massive Sanmon Gate, peaceful gardens, and striking aqueduct.
From here, stroll the Philosopher’s Path, a scenic stone walkway lined with seasonal blossoms and charming side streets.
Arriving at Ginkaku-ji, the Silver Pavilion, admire its elegant gardens and refined architecture that reflect Kyoto’s understated beauty.
To end the day, take part in a hands-on bamboo craft workshop, learning techniques passed down for generations as you create your own unique piece to take home—a lasting reminder of Kyoto’s rich heritage and artistry.
