Kyoto

Kyoto Highlights: Torii, Temples & Bamboo

Kyoto holds Japan's most captivating classic face, and a single day with a private car is enough to touch its very best. With no train queues or bus changes, you'll have far more time to actually enjoy each spot.

What You'll Experience

The thousands of vermilion torii gates at Fushimi Inari
The shimmering Kinkakuji, the Golden Pavilion above its pond
The otherworldly calm of the Arashiyama bamboo grove
The wooden stage of Kiyomizudera and its city views
A private car and warm driver ferrying you temple to temple

Your driver can reorder the day to dodge the biggest crowds. Contact Nakamura Study Japan to set your date and enjoy Kyoto the easy way.
