Kyoto: Kiyomizu-dera UNESCO Guided TourPrivate Tour

Kyoto: Kiyomizu-dera UNESCO Guided Tour

Kiyomizu Temple. This temple, one of Kyoto's most popular tourist attractions, is one that you should definitely visit with a guide. This temple has a history that dates back to before Kyoto became the capital, and it is also a temple that constitutes the pilgrimage culture of Japan. The distinctive stage where tourists now take pictures has a deep Buddhist meaning. Of course, simply visiting this temple is a wonderful experience. But if you visit the temple with a guide and learn the meaning of each architectural feature, your visit to Kiyomizu-dera will be even more memorable.

Higashiyama Private Walking Tour — Explore Kyoto with Two Locals

This tour is led by an Italian-Japanese couple living in Kyoto and will take you to discover not only the most iconic places in the city, but also the lesser known ones, selected thanks to our direct experience in the area. We will take you through temples, shrines and historic districts, but also to small local craft shops, antiques and hidden cafes, which we discovered in our daily lives. Our look combines the point of view of the Italian traveler with Japanese sensibility, offering an authentic, curated and deeply personal experience. It is not a simple sightseeing tour, but an immersion in the real Kyoto, with the warmth of those who live and love it every day.
