Vollständige Beschreibung

Dies ist ein 4-stündiges Erlebnis in Kyoto. Wir halten Ihren Platz beim Anbieter, bevor wir Ihre Buchung als endgültig behandeln.

Kyoto war über tausend Jahre lang bis 1868 Japans Hauptstadt und hat 17 UNESCO-gelistete Stätten unter rund 2.000 Tempeln und Schreinen. Die großen drei sind Kinkaku-ji, der Goldene Pavillon, mit Goldblatt bedeckt und am besten im Morgenlicht; Kiyomizu-dera, die Holzbühne auf den östlichen Hügeln mit den Higashiyama-Gassen von Sannenzaka und Ninenzaka darunter; und die Tore von Fushimi Inari. Die Burg Nijo hat die Nachtigallenböden, die gegen Eindringlinge quietschen, und Ryoan-ji den Steingarten. Tempel öffnen gegen 8:00 oder 9:00 Uhr und schließen um 17:00 Uhr, und der Stadtbus ist langsam; ein Tag mit einem Fahrer oder Guide, der die Stopps gegen die Menschenmassen ordnet, macht den Unterschied zwischen vier Sehenswürdigkeiten und sieben.

We meet Phillipe and 2 others in the party. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the stories about the places. It rained the whole time but we had umbrellas and so much to see. We found it really interesting and Phillippe was able to add to the tour with lots of knowledge and a clear love of Japan and the area. Beautiful spiritual places. 😊

Kevin M was just right for us. He brought knowledge of culture, history and language to his curation of our walk. It rained today, which is not a problem (perhaps a value add) with an umbrella. I felt like our guide brought his grounded presence to our tour. Bravo!

This was a perfect Kyoto tour. Kevin was intelligent and very knowledgeable. We felt we learned more about Kyoto and the culture and customs of Japan than perhaps any other tour we have taken. Outstanding!

This tour was wonderful. At first, we thought we were unlucky as we had a very rainy day, however this allowed us to enjoy the Silver Pavilion gardens, pretty much for ourselves. We were lucky to have Phillip as our guide this day as well as he is very well versed with Kyoto history and Zen Buddhism. I highly recommend this tour.

Loved Craig’s knowledge, easy going approach and sheer pleasure in sharing Kyoto with us. Having lived here for 13 years, he is a committed local but it was so easy for us to ask him lots of questions because he spoke English. It meant we learnt so much more on this gorgeous walk. Totally worth every cent and every step.

Kevin was an excellent guide. He provided us with a lot of new information about the location, the history of Japan and the philosopher’s path. He was excellent at keeping his pace to ours. The philosopher’s Way is a fascinating walk and the information that Kevin gave us increased our appreciation of our time in this area.

We really enjoyed the tour and Kevin's knowledge of Kyoto's history, and the history of its temples. It was a pleasant walk, with natural scenery and without large crowds. Definitely recommend to anyone interested in experiencing the history and beauty of Kyoto.

We loved this tour! Very relaxed pace, which we really appreciated. Lots of time to take everything in. Kevin was an outstanding host. He had fantastic knowledge of not just what we saw, but the history and culture of Japan. Also wonderful to see things most tourists miss. We hardly saw anyone else about, which was fantastic.

Kevin did a great job leading us on a beautiful and informing walk on the Sacred Pathways tour. Kevin was well versed on many topics and easily answered any questions we had. In addition, he seemed interested in who we were and engaged us in conversation. We went slow enough to get some amazing photos along the way. We never would have found all these spots on our own and would highly recommend a guided tour.

Häufige Fragen

Kyoto Fun sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The price does not cover food, drinks and gratuities. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Unless the option says private, this runs as a small group. The operator caps it rather than filling a coach, and if you want it to yourselves the private option is priced separately on this page.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Late March to early April for cherry blossom, or mid-to-late November for peak autumn foliage. Kyoto sits in a basin and runs hotter in summer and colder in winter than Tokyo, even at a similar latitude. Full month-by-month figures are in our best time to visit Kyoto guide.
Kyoto never built an extensive subway — just two lines (Karasuma and Tozai) — so the city bus network does most of the work, especially for Higashiyama, Kinkaku-ji and Ginkakuji. Fushimi Inari and Arashiyama are best reached by JR rail instead. See getting around Kyoto.
Three days covers the essentials well: a day for Higashiyama and Gion, a day for Arashiyama and Kinkaku-ji, and a day for Fushimi Inari plus a Nara or Uji day trip. Our 3-day Kyoto itinerary has the full route with timing.
Arrive by 6:30-7am — the shrine is open 24/7 and free, and most visitors only walk the first 20-30 minutes anyway. Past that point the crowds thin out fast. Full hike details in our Fushimi Inari guide.
Yes — it's a public path with no entrance fee and no set hours. The trade-off is that it gets shoulder-to-shoulder by mid-morning; arrive before 8am for a nearly empty walk. See the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest guide.
Kyoto restricts photography on certain private alleys in Gion after complaints about tourists chasing and blocking geiko and maiko, with fines for violators. Public streets like Hanamikoji-dori remain open, but never chase, touch or block a real geiko/maiko anywhere. Full etiquette in our Gion geisha district guide.
Yudofu (simmered tofu, best near Nanzen-ji or Arashiyama), kaiseki and shojin ryori temple cuisine, and Nishiki Market's stalls of tako tamago and fresh yuba. Uji, just south of the city, is one of Japan's top matcha-growing regions. See the Kyoto food guide.
