What makes Exclusive Kyoto Essentials Tour with Professional Photography a unique experience ?
We will guide you up the mountain, with interesting stories of the history, making several stops and taking the most pictures near the halfway point where the crowd has died down. There will be walking but we will not be making the full 2.5 hour to 3 hour trip (which is unnecessary). Travel will be made to and from this location with the train and is included in travel time.
We generally recommend taking a taxi to this next location, which will run about 1200 yen per taxi. Upon arriving to Ninenzaka, we will explore the streets of Higashiyama, take some pictures, such as by Hokan-ji, and give you a chance to do some shopping. Our host will give you various recommendations on souvenirs and street food.
On the way up to Kiyomizu Temple, you’ll have the chance to do more shopping for souvenirs and snacks!
We will explore the many different areas of this temple and do more photography here. Learn about the interesting history here and a enjoy few hidden experiences. Admission is 400 yen per person that you should bring in cash. Your host will then escort you to the closest station/bus stop/taxi stand you’d like to use to continue on your day.
