What To Expect
Discover a deeper side of Kyoto on this private cultural tour that blends iconic sightseeing with a rare Zen experience.
Stroll through the historic Higashiyama and Gion districts with a knowledgeable local guide, visiting famous landmarks such as Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Sannenzaka, Yasaka Pagoda, Yasaka Koshindo, and Yasaka Shrine.
Midway through the tour, you’ll step into a peaceful, non-public Zen temple tucked away from the crowds. There, under the guidance of a local monk, you’ll practice Zen meditation in a truly serene setting—an exclusive moment to connect with traditional Japanese spirituality.
