Come with us to visit Kyoto for 8 hours on foot and by public transport!

We start with the famous Golden Pavilion, symbol of the splendour of Kyoto with its exterior covered in gold leaf.

Then head for the Path of Philosophy, full of nature. We take it to the Silver Pavilion, famous for its pagoda, Zen Garden, and views of Kyoto.
This temple is more sober but just as beautiful as the Golden Pavilion.

In Kiyomizu-Dera, we admire the panoramic view of Kyoto from the famous terrace. We also explore the surrounding temples and buildings inscribed in the surrounding nature.

We end with the Shinto Shrine Fushimi Inari Taisha, famous for its thousands of red torii portals along the way.

After this day, you will know more about the religious history and culture of Japan. You will also have been dazzled by the architecture, views and nature of the places visited. Are you coming? We are waiting for you!

    This path is close to Ginkaku-ji and we can take it at our exit to continue the day in style. The name of the promenade dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, due to the philosopher Kitarô Nishida (1870-1945) who particularly appreciated it.
