3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Amidst the crowds that have turned much of Kyoto into a stage for mass tourism, this tour offers an exclusive and truly unparalleled experience. Far beyond the common “hidden spots” promised by others, I will guide you to a shrine closed to the public, where you will enjoy sweeping views of the city, followed by a refined tea break in an authentic Japanese tatami room.

This is not an ordinary sightseeing tour—it is a rare privilege, a journey into the essence of Kyoto’s cultural soul. For those who seek only the familiar landmarks, there are countless theme-park style tours. But for those who desire the real Kyoto in its most exquisite form, there is only this one.

What to expect

While Kyoto’s ancient beauty is fading under mass tourism, this tour offers a truly one of a kind experience. Unlike other tours claiming “secret spots, mine grants you access to a shrine closed to the public, a breath taking view over the city, and a serene tea break in a traditional tatami room.

This is the only tour that reveals the authentic spirit of Kyoto. If you seek the ordinary, choose a standard theme park style tour but if you seek the real Kyoto, there is no substitute for this experience.
Your guide was born and raised in Kyoto’s Sagano district not someone who has merely studied from books or the internet, but a genuine local whose roots are deeply tied to this land. It is with this authentic background that I personally guide you through the true Kyoto
