Boeddhisme heeft de meeste gelovigen uit alle religies in Japan. Het heeft verschillende sekten en een van de grootste sekten in Japan is Shingon Otani, van wie de gelovigen zeggen dat ze ongeveer 8 miljoen zijn. De meesten van hen waren gewone mensen zoals handelaars en boeren. Higashi Honganji is een hoofdtempel van ongeveer 9.000 tempels van Shingon Otani en de Oprichterszaal is het grootste houten gebouw ter wereld met meer dan 900 tatami matten die in staat zijn om 3000 mensen tegelijk te houden. U zult worden getroffen door het diepe geloof van de Japanners en de majestueuze sfeer van deze hal.
De Nishiki-markt wordt de keuken van Kyoto genoemd. Wat is dat? Er wordt gezegd dat er onder dit district een gigantisch waterreservoir is. Daarom is Kyoto gezegend met vers en heerlijk water van lang geleden. Met behulp van dat water, ongeveer 500 jaar geleden, ontwikkelde zich hier een vismarkt en geleidelijk kwamen er verschillende winkels bij elkaar. Bijna alles wat je dagelijks nodig hebt, is beschikbaar op deze markt. De specialiteit van Kyoto is groenten geteeld in puur water, augurken gemaakt van deze groenten en tofu, ook gebruikmakend van dit heerlijke water. Er zijn veel winkels waar u kunt eten, dus probeer de specialiteiten van Kyoto die al eeuwenlang door de lokale bevolking worden geliefd.
In 1603 verhuisde de sjogoen zijn shogunaat naar Edo, het huidige Tokio. Het kasteel van Nijo werd gebouwd als het kasteel waar de sjogoen verbleef tijdens een bezoek aan Kyoto. In het kasteel zijn meer dan 1000 prachtige foto's geschilderd op schuifdeuren waardoor je een goed inzicht hebt in de krachtige autoriteit van de shogun. Het was in ditzelfde kasteel dat de laatste shogun verklaarde de macht aan de keizer terug te geven in 1867, na 260 jaar bestuur van zijn familie.
Het keizerlijk paleis van Kyoto ligt in een uitgestrekt gebied in het centrum van Kyoto. Totdat de hoofdstad in 1868 naar Tokio werd verhuisd, woonde de familie van de keizer hier. En zelfs vandaag, wanneer de keizer en / of de kroonprins naar Kyoto komt, verblijven ze in een van de woningen op deze site. De luxueuze gebouwen en prachtig aangelegde tuinen vertellen hier een verhaal over de verfijnde smaak van de tijd. Deze plaats is een must-see wanneer u Kyoto bezoekt.

Chie was a great guide with lots of information to share. The tour was very informative and Chie knew how to get us around making maximum use of our time. The Palace and Castle are very different from each other. Don't expect the Palace to be like a European Palace full of furniture and gold.
Thank you for your kind words and positive review! We are very happy to know that you were able to see and learn a lot of things. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan!
Michi was an excellent guide. She knew so much about all the spots, led us to some excellent udon noodles and we even learnt some basic Japanese :)
Thank you for taking the time to leave a positive review! We're delighted to know that you had a good day with Michi while learning about Japanese culture and language.
This was an excellent tour with a knowledgeable and charming guide who spoke very good English. The walking tour format offered an up-close look at Kyoto's history, architecture, and culture with enough time to enjoy shopping and refreshments. I highly recommend this tour.

Fuji was a great guide! I had lots of questions about history and culture…he answered them all or got me the answers. Took us places on the tour we would not have seen if we were on our own. Made great recommendations on food at the Nishiki market. Very cool tour!
We're so grateful for your positive feedback and happy to know that you had a great tour with Fuji. Thank you for taking the time to write a review!
This was an awesome experience for myself and my family! My guide did a great job explaining things to myself and my family! The dinning restaurant that the guide recommended was Perfect and tasted really good!
Thank you for your kind review. We're thrilled to have made a positive impact on you.
I would recommend this walking tour tour to those who want to see the most of Kyoto but don't have much time. The tour company was excellent. After making teh booking they kept me informed with a detailed itinerary of sites and times, pictures of meeting point with the guide (including her name, Meg, photo and phone number). Meg was an excellent guide. She spoke English well and had a very good knowledge of each sight. She was mindful of the comfort of her guests in such humid conditions. The Imperial Palace, Higashi Honganji Temple and Nijo Castle were amazing.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review. We are happy to know that you enjoyed the tour. Hopefully we'll see you again in Japan someday.
Our favorite was Nijo Castle but the comparison to the Palace was very interesting. Our guide was friendly, informative and interesting. There was a lot of walking so be prepared for that too.
We had an excellent tour with it guide Komi. He did an amazing job of getting all the highlights of the tour in despite the fact we were running quite late due to our mix up in where we were meeting. He took us to the main Imperial Palace, the Nijo-jo Castle, a kimono show, then got us tickets in to see Sento Palace gardens, which were very lovely! Sento Palace gardens are limited so we were very lucky to get entrance tickets and would not have known to ask without Komi's suggestion. I will not that this tour does have a good deal of walking as part of it. We registered almost 9 miles by the end of the day.
Thank you for your comments. We are happy to know that you enjoyed the tour and we duly take note that the tour involves quite a bit of walking. We hope to see you again in Japan.
