Overview of your Kyoto tour:

We'll visit some of the major temples and shrines of Kyoto, as well as some not so well-known gems. Starting with Fushimi Inari Shrine, the most popular tourist spot in Japan, we'll go through as many as 1, 000 torii gates. Unbelievably picturesque. Then we'll walk through a typical residential area to Komyoin, a peaceful landscape stone garden. Here I'll teach you how to meditate, if you wish. We'll peek through the neighboring Tofukuji Temple, a large Zen Buddhist temple, famous for its autumn leaves. Then, on to Sanjusangendo Temple, filled with thousands of stunning Buddhist statues. After that, a quick cab ride to Kiyomizudera Temple, World Heritage Site of UNESCO. You can nibble Japanese sweets and shop at local ceramics shops. Early in the evening, we'll walk down to the Gion Area, where you may be able to bump into maiko or geisha on their way to the first job they have that evening.
