Private Tour - Gion and Kiyomizu Temple Tour to enjoy Kyoto in a short time
Description
Kyoto is a city that continues to attract the attention of international travelers as one of the best cities to visit in Japan.
This short tour is recommended for first-time visitors to Kyoto and for those who want to visit Kyoto's unique spots in a short time. This tour is also recommended for those who have other plans for the day, as it allows for efficient and smooth sightseeing in and around Gion and Kiyomizu-dera Temples, which are especially popular in Kyoto!
The first stop on this tour is the ""Gion"" area with its beautiful, Japanese and traditional buildings. Enjoy the typical Kyoto atmosphere. After Gion, we will visit Yasaka Shrine, which has a very deep historical connection with Gion. The Gion Festival, a festival held at this shrine, is one of the most famous festivals in Kyoto.
Not far from there is Kodaiji Temple, a Zen Buddhist temple with a history of more than 400 years. The temple has a beautiful dry landscape garden, so you can experience the Japanese beauty of the temple. Then, walking from Kodaiji Temple in the direction of Kiyomizu-dera Temple, you will arrive at the ""Sanneizaka Area. The five-story pagoda and other buildings standing among the stone pavement is truly a view that represents the beauty of Kyoto.
The last temple you will visit, Kiyomizu-dera, is one of the most famous temples in Kyoto and is described in various guidebooks as having over 1000 years of history, making it a great temple historically, but perhaps the most unique feature of this temple is its stage, which rises out of the cliff. From the high platform, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the city of Kyoto and its beautiful panoramic scenery.
If you are not staying in Kyoto for a long time, if it is your first time in Kyoto and you do not know where to go, or if you want to visit tourist attractions smoothly, this is the plan for you. This is the plan we recommend for you!
