Itinéraire
Arashiyama, situé dans l'ouest de Kyoto, au Japon, est un quartier pittoresque réputé pour sa beauté naturelle et son patrimoine culturel. Il est surtout connu pour l'emblématique Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, où les visiteurs peuvent marcher à travers un sentier envoûtant bordé d'imposantes tiges de bambou. Le quartier abrite également le temple historique Tenryu-ji, classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO avec de superbes jardins, et le pittoresque pont Togetsukyo, qui offre une vue imprenable sur les montagnes environnantes. Le charme d'Arashiyama est particulièrement captivant pendant la saison des cerisiers en fleurs au printemps et le feuillage vibrant de l'automne, ce qui en fait une destination populaire toute l'année.
Kinkaku-ji, ou le Pavillon d'or, a été construit à l'origine en 1397 comme villa de retraite pour le shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Après sa mort, la villa a été convertie en temple bouddhiste zen. La structure reflète un mélange de styles architecturaux traditionnels japonais et chinois. Bien que le bâtiment original ait été détruit par un incendie criminel en 1950, il a été reconstruit en 1955, avec les deux derniers étages couverts de feuilles d'or, symbolisant la pureté et l'illumination.
Le marché de Nishiki (Nishiki Ichiba) est une rue commerçante étroite de cinq pâtés de maisons bordée par plus de cent magasins et restaurants. Connu sous le nom de « Kyoto's Kitchen », ce marché de détail animé se spécialise dans tout ce qui touche à l'alimentation, comme les fruits de mer frais, les produits, les couteaux et les ustensiles de cuisine, et est un endroit idéal pour trouver des aliments de saison et des spécialités de Kyoto, telles que des bonbons japonais, des cornichons, des fruits de mer séchés et des sushis. Le marché de Nishiki a une atmosphère agréable mais animée qui est invitant pour ceux qui veulent explorer la variété de délices culinaires qui font la renommée de Kyoto. Les magasins que l'on trouve sur tout le marché sont de tailles variées, allant de petits étals étroits à de plus grands magasins à deux étages. La plupart se spécialisent dans un type particulier d'aliments, et presque tout ce qui est vendu au marché est produit et acheté localement.
Gion (祇園) est le quartier de geishas le plus célèbre de Kyoto, situé autour de l'avenue Shijo entre le sanctuaire Yasaka à l'est et la rivière Kamo à l'ouest. Il est rempli de boutiques, restaurants et ochaya (salons de thé), où les geiko (dialecte de Kyoto pour geisha) et les maiko (apprentis geiko) reçoivent.
L'un des temples les plus connus du Japon est Kiyomizudera, qui se traduit par « Temple de l'eau pure ». Elle tire son nom des eaux immaculées de la cascade d'Otowa, située sur les coteaux boisés à l'est de Kyoto, où elle a été créée en 780. Le temple a créé la secte Kita Hosso en 1965 après avoir été connecté à la secte Hosso, l'une des plus anciennes écoles du bouddhisme japonais. Le temple a été inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en 1994. La caractéristique la plus remarquable de Kiyomizudera est sa scène en bois, qui dépasse de 13 mètres le flanc de la colline environnante de la salle principale. Les visiteurs peuvent profiter d'une vue agréable sur les nombreux cerisiers et érables ci-dessous, qui éclatent dans une mer de couleurs, de la scène.
Fushimi Inari Taisha est l'un des sanctuaires shintoïstes les plus emblématiques de Kyoto, dédié à Inari, la divinité du riz, de la prospérité et des affaires. Fondée en 711 après J.-C., elle est célèbre pour ses milliers de portes rouges vibrantes (senbon torii) qui forment des tunnels le long des sentiers menant au mont Inari. Ces portes, offertes par des particuliers et des entreprises, symbolisent la gratitude et les prières pour le succès. Le sanctuaire est également connu pour ses statues de renard, qui seraient les messagers d’Inari. Les visiteurs parcourent souvent le chemin qui monte sur la montagne, qui offre une vue panoramique sur Kyoto en cours de route.

Malik shared fascinating information about the history, culture, and local traditions, while also making sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged.

His passion for the city really showed, and it made the tour both informative and memorable.We highly recommend Malik to anyone visiting Kyoto.

A great way to get around Kyoto and see many sites in one day! Saved time with the back and forth travel to focus on the actual sites. Especially helpful when it was a rainy day.

We had a fantastic experience with our driver and guide in Kyoto. He was incredibly flexible and accommodating, allowing us to adjust our schedule throughout the day based on what we wanted to see and how much time we wanted to spend at each location. He also provided excellent recommendations on timing, which helped us avoid crowds and make the most of our day. One thing we especially appreciated was that he walked us directly to the entrance of each site, making it easy to navigate and ensuring we always knew exactly where to go. His English was excellent, and he shared a wealth of knowledge about Kyoto's history, culture, and the places we visited, which made the experience much more meaningful. Beyond that, he was simply a warm, friendly person who was easy to talk to and made us feel comfortable throughout the tour. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personalized and informative Kyoto experience.

Very efficient, clean and happy to drive us to all the places we wanted to see using our own customised itinerary. We skipped crowed areas because of Malik's local knowledge. We enjoyed the day ! Thank you

Mozam with Ashan Global Tours was simply the best tour guide and driver we have had in a long time, and we have used Viator extensively during our travels around the world. Mozam is a college student with a genuine passion for the history, culture, and hidden gems of Kyoto and the surrounding area. Before our tour, I provided him with a detailed list of places we hoped to see. I honestly did not expect we would be able to visit them all, but Mozam made it happen—and then exceeded our expectations by introducing us to several other points of interest that we would have otherwise missed. His planning and driving skills were exceptional. Navigating through busy city traffic with ease, he carefully mapped out the most efficient routes, minimizing time on the road and maximizing our time enjoying each destination. Every stop felt well thought out and perfectly timed. What truly set Mozam apart was his attentiveness and flexibility. Whenever we finished a location sooner than expected, he was immediately ready with the next destination. He also provided valuable tips and suggestions at every site, helping us avoid crowds, find the best viewpoints, and make the most of our visit. Those small insights enhanced our experience and saved us a lot of time. Thanks to Mozam, our visit to Osaka and Kyoto was one of the most enjoyable and memorable experiences of our trip to Japan. I highly recommend Ashan Global Tours and, if possible, specifically request Mozam as your guide. He is professional, knowledgeable, personable, and truly dedicated to ensuring his guests have an amazing experience. In fact, I have already recommended Mozam and this service to a friend who will be visiting Japan this December. Thank you, Mozam, for an unforgettable day and for showing us the absolute best of Osaka and Kyoto!
