Itinerario
Comenzamos el recorrido en Toji, Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO famosa por su pagoda de cinco pisos, la torre de madera más alta de Japón. Disfrutarás de un tranquilo paseo por los terrenos del templo y aprenderás sobre su papel en la historia espiritual de Kioto.
Al llegar al Parque Umekoji, sentirás el cambio del estrés de la ciudad a espacios verdes abiertos. Este parque es un escape favorito para los lugareños, con flores de temporada, árboles sombreados y un estanque sereno donde se puede hacer una pausa y respirar. Es el lugar perfecto para estirar las piernas, disfrutar del aire fresco y disfrutar de un lado diferente de Kyoto antes de continuar nuestro viaje.
Pase por el campus de una de las universidades privadas más antiguas de Kioto, fundada por la secta budista Nishi Hongwanji. Es una oportunidad para vislumbrar la vida cotidiana en el Kioto moderno y apreciar la mezcla de tradición y educación.
Un templo importante del budismo Jodo Shinshu, este sitio de la UNESCO es conocido por su exquisita arquitectura de madera y significado histórico. Su guía lo guiará a través de su vasto patio y le explicará su influencia en la cultura de Kioto.
Pasea en bicicleta por el pintoresco río Kamo, un lugar favorito para que los lugareños se relajen, troten y disfruten de la naturaleza. Es la manera perfecta de experimentar la armonía entre la vida urbana de Kioto y el entorno natural.
Un distrito de geishas menos conocido pero igualmente encantador ubicado cerca de Gion. Vamos aquí con un tranquilo paseo por sus hermosas callejuelas, donde las tradiciones del viejo Kioto siguen muy vivas.
El Santuario Heian fue construido en 1895 para conmemorar el 1.100 aniversario de Kioto. Su brillante puerta bermellón y sus edificios siguen el modelo del antiguo Palacio Imperial. Justo al final del camino verás una de las puertas de torii más grandes de Japón - difícil de perder!
Bienvenido al Museo del Acueducto de Biwa. Este pequeño museo cuenta la historia del Canal del Lago Biwa, un proyecto de ingeniería de la década de 1890 que trajo agua, electricidad y nueva vida a Kioto después de que la capital se mudara a Tokio.
Nanzenji es uno de los templos zen más importantes, fundado en el siglo XIII. Es famosa por su enorme puerta de madera Sanmon, los tranquilos jardines Zen y el acueducto de ladrillo rojo que atraviesa el terreno. Nanzenji ha sido un símbolo de la cultura zen en Kioto durante siglos.
El Camino Filosofal es una pasarela de piedra que sigue un canal bordeado de cerezos. Lleva el nombre del profesor de la Universidad de Kioto, Nishida Kitaro, que solía caminar hasta aquí mientras meditaba sobre sus ideas. En primavera, los cerezos en flor lo convierten en uno de los lugares más hermosos de Kioto, pero es tranquilo durante todo el año. Cabalgaremos a lo largo de parte de ella mientras nos dirigimos hacia nuestra siguiente parada.
Más adelante está Honen-in, un templo tranquilo escondido en las colinas. Fue fundada en 1600 para honrar al sacerdote budista Honen, quien difundió las enseñanzas de la secta Tierra Pura. La puerta musgosa y los patrones de arena blanca le dan un ambiente oculto y tranquilo, muy diferente de los templos más activos de Kioto.
Hemos llegado a Ginkaku-ji, el Pabellón de Plata, construido a finales del siglo XIV por el shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa. Aunque se llama Pabellón de Plata, nunca estuvo cubierto de plata. Nos tomaremos unos minutos para caminar, disfrutar de los jardines y la arena rastrillada, y empaparnos en la arquitectura histórica.
Explore el distrito de geishas más famoso de Kioto, con sus casas de machiya de madera tradicionales y su encanto histórico. Aprende sobre la cultura geiko y maiko mientras cabalgamos por las calles iluminadas por linternas.

The tour was amazing! We went to so many places and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and also funny! It was not too hard to bike because every bike trip was pretty short and the electric bikes do all the uphill work for you. I have recommended this trip to all of my friends.
SUGOI! This was one of the best days of our entire Japan adventure. I was a little nervous about booking a 7-hour tour, as it seemed a bit long, but the day flew by. The e-bikes were cruiser-style, worked well, and were comfortable with baskets (no helmets). Jamie was the best host! He was like touring Kyoto with a fun friend. Thanks to him, we got the perfect combination of Kyoto's history, culture, religion, and beauty. Along the way, Jamie says hello to everyone he sees, giving us a unique opportunity to engage with the kind people of Kyoto that we wouldn't have otherwise. I would recommend that you be fairly comfortable on a bike, as we sometimes had to maneuver through busy streets, though he did his best to avoid them. We went in early March, and it was a bit chilly in the morning and early afternoon, so bring a hat, gloves, layers, and sunscreen. I would also recommend bringing a snack if you didn't have a big breakfast; lunch is a bit later in the tour. If you don't have time for a 7-hour tour, he does offer shorter tours. Jamie also takes a ton of pictures on his phone and shares them with you at the end :). Arigato gozaimasu, Jamie, for a day full of majestic memories!!
Sugoi!! Saikou!! Okini!! We appreciate so much your words and we’ll keep paying attention to every aspect of our tours to make them every time more enjoyable and memorable!! Meccha Arigatou 🙏
The Discover Kyoto Full Day Tour was an amazing experience from start to finish. We visited beautiful temples, historic streets, and famous landmarks while learning so much about Kyoto’s culture and history. The guide was friendly, organized, and explained everything clearly. The schedule was well planned, and we had enough time at each stop to enjoy and take photos. It was a great way to see many highlights of Kyoto in one day without feeling rushed. Highly recommended for first-time visitors! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This trip is a must do during your stay in Kyoto. Jaime was an excellent guide and came equipped with lively energy and extensive knowledge on the rich culture that rests here in Japan. We visited temples, a beautiful zen garden, rode through exclusive parts of the city that buses and taxis could never reach, ate authentic Japanese lunch/snacks, and were introduced to and tested on the Japanese language/vocabulary. This was an unmatched experience that one could not get if they merely walked around for a few days. The pace of our travels were perfect for beginner and novice riders with plenty of breaks. Let Jaime take you on a truly amazing adventure and you will not be disappointed. 🚲
We had a super fun, interesting and informative day with Jaime discovering beautiful kyoto and the japanese language and culture. Covered so much ground yet it felt relaxed and comfortable, and always engaging. This is really the best way to see and experience this fantastic city! Jamie is extremely knowledgable, entertaining and has a passion for his chosen home of Kyoto. We learnt a number of useful japanese words and phrases. Thanks Jaime, and best wishes to you. Jaime has good english, bikes easy to ride, good lunch, well paced tour with lots of stops. We couldnt believe how fast the day went. Totally recommend this tour.
We toured Kyoto with Jaime and the experience was excellent. Jaime is very friendly, professional and has a way of explaining Japanese culture that really hooks. You can see that he knows deeply the history and traditions of the place. In addition, he speaks several languages, which made the tour very clear and comfortable for everyone. We are very happy with the tour and fully recommend it for those who want to know Kyoto completely and with a first-rate guide.
Delightful and informative tour. It was a wonderful overview of Kyoto and John was very entertaining. The tour was jam packed with the sights and sounds of the city. As a bonus, the included lunch was excellent.
Jamie is a great guide, very friendly and knows a huge amount about Kyoto and Japan. He showed us lots of different areas and we got to see things we would never have done on our own. He also taught us to count in Japanese. I am so glad we did this tour on our first day, it really helped us know what else we wanted to do. I would highly recommend this as an activity plus the e bikes made it super easy
Jaime was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and his quirky sense of humour made the trip fun. Great to ride around the back streets and see the real Japan as well as the sights you tick off as a tourist. The lunch spot and the lunch were a highlight. He can teach you how to count to ten in Japanese in 2 minutes in a way you will never forget! Bikes were in excellent condition. A fun day out with a great local who speaks English well.
This was so much fun! Riding an e-bike all day through beautiful Kyoto, seeing hidden gems off the beaten path, eating a yummy lunch, and learning Kyoto history was all amazing! Oh and laughing a lot because Jaime the guide is very funny, plus very knowledgable, and he taught us Japanese! If you have a day, definitely recommend this tour! Thanks for the memories Jaime!
