Here’s an overview of your tour
Are you ready for an unforgettable adventure in Kyoto, specially designed for cruise travellers?
Your experience begins with a warm welcome at the Kobe port. No need to worry about logistics—I’ll take care of everything!
We’ll take the train to Kyoto, where our first stop is the enchanting Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. Walk through towering green bamboo groves and soak in the tranquil atmosphere of this magical place.
Next, we’ll visit the stunning Fushimi Inari Shrine, famous for its endless path of vermillion torii gates. Stroll through this sacred site and immerse yourself in its mystical beauty.
After that, we’ll head to Kyoto’s city center for a delicious lunch, where you can savor authentic Japanese cuisine. Whether you prefer sushi, ramen, or Kyoto’s specialty kaiseki, there’s something for everyone.
In the afternoon, we’ll explore the charming streets of Gion and the Higashiyama district. Admire the well-preserved wooden machiya houses, discover hidden temples, and, if we’re lucky, spot a geisha gracefully making her way through the alleys.
Our journey continues to Kiyomizu-dera, one of Kyoto’s most iconic temples. Standing on its famous wooden stage, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the city and the lush surrounding nature.
As the day comes to an end, we’ll make our way back to Kobe port, ensuring you return on time to your cruise.
This tour is fully customizable to suit your preferences. Whether you’re passionate about history, culture, or simply want to soak in Kyoto’s beauty, I’ll tailor the experience just for you.
*All entrance tickets and transportation costs are included for a hassle-free experience.
Booking Information: To guarantee a smooth experience, please send me your cruise arrival details in advance. I’ll handle the rest!
