Description complète

Cette expérience de 3 heures 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 guide anglophone, billets d'entrée et expérience de visite à pied. 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.

Inclus

  • Guide professionnel anglophone
  • Billets d'entrée (château de Nijo, palais Ninomaru, galerie d'art)
  • Expérience de visite à pied

I had the most wonderful tour with my guide Mahi. Despite being Saturday I was the only one on the tour which allowed us to have a very special conversation about Kyoto's vibrant history of peace, war, diplomacy, style and much more. Mahi is a terrific English speaker and a Kyoto native who was passionate and joyful. This was the best way imaginable to enjoy the palace and Nijo castle.

The tour was fantastic. We visited two sites of great importance to Kyoto—Nijo Castle and the Imperial Palace. Our guide, Namiko, shared the history of both places in a wonderful way and answered many of our questions. Thanks to her, the tour left us with unforgettable memories.

Our tour guide was excellent. Very informative and spoke English very good. He even went out of his way to walk with us to the train and showed us where to go. From helping us purchase the tickets to putting us on the right train.

Nene went above and beyond what a tour guide usually does! Tailored the tour to our constraints, took us to places where we were the only foreigners, explained what we were seeing clearly and with a great friendly attitude. Then she took my wife to the confusing train station to help her find her train. Truly an amazing guide.”

Yoshi is a great tour guide. His english is excellent and he speaks very interesting ( we were with our kids and they were astonished and fascinated what is actually the best proof of his profesionalism). Yoshi is fascinated by the Japan History and You will see that his doing this job because of the live to Kioto, and for money). That tour was one of the best choices during our stay in Japan. Definitelly worth to attend.

Nene was an excellent guide! I learned a lot from her about Kyoto Imperial Palace, Nijo Castle, and Higasghi Honganji Temple. She kindly took multiple photos of me and sent them to me through WhatsApp. I highly recommend this tour and this guide.

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.
