Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Arashiyama, Togetsukyo, Saga, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto 616-8383 Kyoto Prefecture
Within this part of Kyoto are the following places, all described in detaile below: Tenryuji, Bamboo Grove, Okochi Sanso. But also, we'll spend some time, as you wish, strolling the town itself, both along the river and through the shopping district.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Tenryuji Temple, 68 Saga Tenryuji Susukinobabacho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto 616-8385 Kyoto Prefecture
The lovely, picture-perfect gardens are sure to both astound and bring you a sense of serenity. Timeless beauty, no matter what the season. We also get views of the prayer halls, mediation areas, and the bamboo grove (which we later walk right through).
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Bamboo Forest Street, Sagaogurayama Tabuchiyamacho, Ukyo, Kyoto 616-8394 Kyoto Prefecture
You've probably seen this pictures of this, and now you get to be a part of it. A narrow road snakes up a gentle hillside, with bamboo towering both to your left and right. A classic, and for good reason.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Okochi Sanso Garden, 8-3 Sagaogurayama Tabuchiyamacho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto 616-8394 Kyoto Prefecture
Perched above Arashiyama's famous bamboo grove is this luxurious former actor's estate, largely built in the 1930s. You'll enjoy some macha (Japanese powdered green tea) and a small sweet, then stroll the gardens, take in the views, and check out the impressive buildings.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine, 68 Fukakusa Yabunouchicho, Fushimi, Kyoto 612-0882 Kyoto Prefecture
Arguably the most famous Shinto Shrine in the land, Fushimi Inari entices you ever higher up the mountain with its famous red torii (gates). Don't worry, though -- this is a private tour, so we'll only go as high as you want to! Along the way, we'll talk about what Shintoism, Japan's original religion, and we'll see plenty of significant sights aside from those red torii, too.
Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes

Our guide, Kevin, was absolutely superb. His driving was flawless, and he was polite and patient. Moreover, he exceeded our expectations in every way. He was extremely knowledgeable about the tour itself and Japan in general, and he was wonderful at answering all our questions about Japan, and thoughtfully compared and contrasted Japan and the United States for us. The tour made us want to go learn more about Japan and Kyoto. All of the sites visited were beautiful and worthwhile destinations.
I love everything about this tour! My personal guide is very friendly and shared us great history of each place. My mom and I really had a great time doing this tour. We really enjoyed it!
