Arrive dressed in your kimono and explore one of Kyoto's most iconic temples with your guide, who will share the stories behind the famous wooden stage and the Otowa Waterfall. The temple's terrace offers sweeping views over Kyoto — one of the best photo spots of the day.
Wander the beautifully preserved stone-paved lanes of old Kyoto in your kimono, lined with traditional wooden townhouses, tea houses and craft shops. Your guide will point out the best photo angles along the way.
Stop at this small, colourful temple famous for its bright cloth monkey charms (kukurizaru) — a favourite photo spot that looks wonderful with kimono.
Stroll this quiet, elegant stone lane named after the wife of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, with willow trees and traditional facades — a calmer, more local side of Higashiyama.
Break for lunch in Kyoto's geisha district (lunch at your own expense). Your guide will take you to a pre-booked Japanese garden restaurant and, if you are lucky, you may spot a geiko or maiko along Hanamikoji Street.
Walk through the famous tunnels of thousands of vermilion torii gates. Your guide leads you along a quieter side path and only the gentle lower section, so the walk stays comfortable while wearing kimono.
