Description complète

Cette expérience de 75 minutes se déroule à Kyoto. Votre place est retenue auprès de l'opérateur avant que nous considérions votre réservation comme définitive.

Kyoto fut la capitale du Japon pendant plus de mille ans jusqu'en 1868 et compte 17 sites classés UNESCO parmi environ 2 000 temples et sanctuaires. Les trois grands sont Kinkaku-ji, le Pavillon d'or, recouvert de feuille d'or et meilleur à la lumière du matin ; Kiyomizu-dera, la scène en bois sur les collines orientales avec les allées de Higashiyama, Sannenzaka et Ninenzaka en dessous ; et les portiques de Fushimi Inari. Le château de Nijo a les planchers du rossignol qui grincent contre les intrus, et Ryoan-ji le jardin de pierres. Les temples ouvrent vers 8h00 ou 9h00 et ferment à 17h00, et le bus municipal est lent ; une journée avec un chauffeur ou un guide qui ordonne les arrêts contre les foules fait la différence entre quatre sites et sept.

Le prix comprend pratique guidée et tous les outils nécessaires, œuvre de calligraphie originale, thé et douceurs japonaises, visite culturelle machiya et Kyoto et assistance pour la photographie. Il ne comprend pas transport, à prévoir en plus. Tout ce qui est inclus est listé en entier sur cette page ; si quelque chose ne figure pas dans cette liste, considérez que ce n’est pas compris dans le prix.

Le point de rendez-vous et l'heure vous sont envoyés par e-mail dès la confirmation de la réservation. Nous avons besoin d'au moins un jour de préavis et nous confirmons la date avant de considérer votre réservation comme définitive. Si la date ne peut pas être confirmée, nous vous le disons et vous remboursons plutôt que de vous laisser attendre.

Absolutely amazing! Yuki and Kumi are exellent teachers. The experience starts with a short meditation and one is guided through every stroke. You get to chose what you want to learn and can leave with your personal scroll. Highly recommend!

We are so grateful for our calligraphy experience. We never did calligraphy before. We felt welcome and relaxed. The top of our time was the absolutely unique opportunity to visit a historic 150-year old home. Our host was full of attention and care and we learned a lot from her. Definitely recommended!

We loved this class. The teacher was patient and explained the process beautifully and we were all able to create our own scroll to take home.

Very nice experience, learning about the history and expression of Japan’s Kanji. The master was very polite and encouraging. The guide and translator was also very kind, showing the traditional house afterward and letting us taste the era. The tea and mochi were so good!

The instructor patiently and carefully explained the basic calligraphy strokes step-by-step, as well as the philosophy behind Japanese calligraphy. Then, I could select a Kanji, that I wanted to draw. After some more practice and guidance, I eventually drew the character on a beautifully prepared scroll that I can take home as a souvenir. Afterwards, we visited the historic Machiya house right next to the location and I got a tour through the house. I also enjoyed a cup of green tea and some traditional Japanese sweets. Had a lot of fun and would recommend it to anyone.

Very fun calligraphy!! Our teacher was very sweet and helpful. The addition of the macchiya tour was super cool and we would have loved to do the other experiences they offer if we had time. Arigato gozaimashita!

Questions fréquentes

聚らく sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The price does not cover transportation. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Shoes off at every hall, quiet voices, and no photographs inside the halls unless a sign allows it. At a shrine, rinse hands and mouth at the basin, then bow twice, clap twice and bow once; at a temple, hands together without clapping. Dress is relaxed, but shoulders and knees covered is the courteous choice.
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.

We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for a smooth check-in. Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.
For most experiences, we highly recommend an early morning start. This allows you to avoid the midday heat, bypass the largest crowds, and capture the best lighting for photography. Your guide can advise on the optimal timing based on the season and specific attractions included.
Yes, once your booking is completed via our secure payment gateway, you will receive an instant confirmation email with your tour details, meeting point address, guide's name, and direct contact information. You can also view and manage your booking through your AsiaByLocals account dashboard.

Weather-related cancellations for outdoor and boat tours are handled on a case-by-case basis, with full refunds or free rebooking offered when safety is a concern.

However, some tours involving extensive walking, water activities, or early morning starts may be better suited for children aged 5 and above.

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.
