Kinkaku-ji er et Zen-buddhistisk tempel i Kyoto, Japan. En betagende UNESCO World Heritage Site kendt for sin blændende gyldne udvendige og rolige haver. Navnet Golden Pavilion er afledt af det gyldne blad, som pavillonen er dækket af. Det anvendte guld var beregnet til at afbøde og rense enhver forurening eller negative tanker og følelser over for døden. Golden Pavilion er en tre-etagers bygning på grund af Rokuon-ji tempelkomplekset. Hver etage har en anden arkitektonisk stil. Pavillonen kombinerer med succes tre forskellige arkitektoniske stilarter, som er shinden, samurai og zen.
Der er omkring 30.000 Inari helligdomme i Japan, Fushimi Inari Taisha er hovedhelligdommen, for at tilbede den shinto gud af ris, Inari. Helligdommen er berømt for Senbon Torii, tusindvis af vermillion røde torii porte, der skaber en fantastisk og nedslående tunnel-lignende sti op i det hellige bjerg Inari. I de 1300 år siden dens etablering i 711AD, har folk samlet sig her for at bede for rigelige høst, forretningsmæssig velstand, sikkerhed for deres hjem og familie, og opfyldelse af alle andre ønsker.
Nijo-jo Slot blev bygget i 1603 som Kyoto residens for Tokugawa Ieyasu, den første shogun i Edo perioden (1603-1868). Det er et af de mest kendte slotte i Japan, dets paladsbygninger er uden tvivl de bedste overlevende eksempler på slottets paladsarkitektur i Japans feudale æra, og slottet blev udpeget som et UNESCO-verdensarvsted i 1994. Nijo-jo Slot kan opdeles i tre områder: Honmaru (hovedkreds af forsvar), Ninomaru (sekundær cirkel af forsvar), og nogle haver omkring dem. Hele slottets areal og Honmaru er omgivet af stenvægge og moats. Adgangsbilletten til Nijo Castle, som omfatter adgang til Ninomaru-goten Palace, koster 1.300 yen. Sørg for, at du har de rigtige penge til adgang. - Tak. (I de dage, hvor Nijo Castle var lukket, besøg Heian Jingu Shrine i stedet. Denne Shinto helligdom er beliggende i Sakyō-ku, Kyoto, og er anerkendt som en vigtig kulturel ejendom i Japan. )
Bambusskovene i Arashiyama er et must-see, når du besøger Kyoto, der tjener som et symbol på byen. Denne fantastiske og rolige naturlige attraktion er kendt for sine store bambus stængler og rolig atmosfære. Gå langs de fredelige stier omgivet af frodig grønt vil hjælpe med at sætte dit sind i ro. Du kan virkelig føle tiden bremse, som du tager i skønheden i naturen. Skovene er især fængslende, når en let brise danser igennem, hvilket får de høje bambusstængler til at svinge forsigtigt frem og tilbage.
Nonomiya Shrine er et shinto-helligdom i Arashiyama-distriktet på den vestlige side af byen Kyoto. I modsætning til de fleste helligdomme, der har ikoniske vermilion torii porte, Nonomiya helligdom har en karakteristisk sort torii gate kendt som en kuroki torii. På trods af sin lille størrelse, helligdommen har en lang historie, grundlagt i oldtiden som en rensning helligdom for kejserlige prinsesser, der blev udnævnt som præster til Ise helligdom. Nonomiya Shrine har et ry for at hjælpe og intercedere på vegne af kvinder, og mange menigheder er kvinder, der ønsker at finde kærlighed eller ønske om børn og en sikker fødsel. Mange af de omamori til salg på helligdommen afspejler temaet for kvinders lykke, og du kan finde en række amuletter til rådighed på helligdommens kontor.
Togetsukyo Bridge er det mest ikoniske vartegn i Arashiyama. Oprindeligt bygget i Heian-perioden (794-1185), blev det senest genopbygget i 1930'erne. Denne berømte bro strækker sig over Katsura-floden og giver en malerisk udsigt over de omkringliggende bjerge og flodlandskabet.
Kimono Forest er en karakteristisk tekstil kunst installation bestående af 600 klare akryl cylindre, hver stående 2 meter høj. Disse søjler er prydet med levende kimono stoffer med en række designs, fra elegante blomstermønstre til geometriske former og traditionelle japanske symboler. Installationen viser 32 traditionelle Kyo-yuzen designs. Kimono skoven er en must-see attraktion, der giver et unikt og fortryllende perspektiv på traditionelle japanske tekstiler og håndværk.

Even though it rained the whole day the attractions were fabulous and the Tour guide was superb. Knew so much information about the attractions and Japan. Spoke very clearly and his English was amazing.

This bus tour stood out to me compared to the others. Our tour guide, Lee, was excellent at managing a large group while keeping everyone engaged. He created a WhatsApp group for all participants and provided clear instructions, updates, and Google Maps links throughout the day, which made everything very easy to follow. As we traveled between destinations, Lee shared the history and background of each site before we arrived, giving us valuable context and helping us appreciate what we were seeing. We visited Nijo Castle, Kinkaku-ji (the Golden Temple), Arashiyama, and Fushimi Inari Shrine. His explanations brought each location to life, and his humor and storytelling kept the journey entertaining from start to finish. The tour was very well organized, allowing plenty of free time to explore each attraction while still benefiting from Lee's guidance and local knowledge. Exploring Kyoto was easy, informative, and enjoyable with him leading the way. I highly recommend Mr. Lee to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized tour experience in Kyoto. Pro tip you can leave the last site early and catch a train back and reach your hotel by 445.

FANTASTIC tour of the main attractions of Kyoto! The entire day was well executed at a relaxed pace. We boarded the bus thinking it was going to be a miss of an excursion because of the incessant rain but it turned out to be the HIGHLIGHT of our Japan trip! The rain was there throughout but there were less crowds and the scenery was beautiful! But our wonderful guide Chris was the miracle worker here!! We cannot recommend him enough!! From the onset Chris had made a good plan to communicate with all of us on the tour via a WhatsApp group. He reached out before the tour started and made us all at ease as to where and how to locate him outside of the busy Tokyo Central Station. He was so chill and kind …. We didn’t bring any cash with us and he lent us some until we could withdraw money at the convenience store on route. That was the first indicator of a kind and good person who would guide us through the day with fun jokes and anecdotes . It felt like we were touring with a family member because he took his responsibility personally instead of as a job. He treated everyone with respect and patience while accommodating individual requests at lunch and for bathroom breaks. He always consulted with our group before making an executive decision on time spent at the different sites . We actually all got emotional saying goodbye at the end of the day because Chris and all of us had bonded! Thanks for making a truly great trip in Kyoto for all of us Chris!

Anson was an awesome tour guide. He knows a lot of history and facts and really took the time to share his knowledge to us. Lots of trivia. He is really friendly and energetic. Great tour guide and gave us plenty of time to explore everything.

I rate our experience 5 out of 5. It’s was well organised throughout because instructions were in simple English and very well understood. We hardly raised any questions throughout the tour and was never at a lost regarding where to meet or which direction to proceed in the tour.

Fabulous day despite the heavy rain. We were able to see 3 of the 4 areas. It sadly drained way too heavy to see the bamboo forest and kimono forest. Our guide Anson was extremely helpful, informative and fun

The tour conveniently starts with first pickup in Osaka (7:30am) and second pickup in Kyoto (9:00am). Kyoto is also easily accessible by train from Osaka for a reasonable cost. There are several good restaurants around the Kyoto station where one can have dinner after the tour. Drop off is in reverse order making for a very long day for those starting in Osaka. Our tour guide Chris was very knowledgeable and showed great care for the members of the group (about 25 people). During transit, he explained the various sites along with related stories. The mood within the group was very good throughout a long day even with soaring temperatures during a heatwave. The only negative is that the Tour Company Viator did not include admissions for two of the sites and the tour members needed to reimburse the guide for the admission fees in cash. This made things a bit awkward as some did not have cash on hand and had to scramble to find an ATM. To his credit, the tour guide helped with that as well. Chris is a very kind and caring person who prioritized a good trip for everyone.

Our guide Javkson was very good. The tour was good but it was a rainy day, so the bamboo garden, and the last stop we could not enjoy much. Good tour, good guide, if you have one day it will cover the best attractions of Kyoto.
