Meeting with a Russian-speaking guide at your hotel in Kyoto.
Kyoto is the ancient imperial capital of Japan, one of the oldest cities in the country, the entire historical part of which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This city with refined traditions was founded at the end of the 8th century and served as the residence of emperors for almost twelve centuries. Introducing the Kyoto Subway, your guide will show you how to use the subway in Kyoto, explain and mark on the map all the main attractions in the city, and help you purchase travel tickets. There will also be a study tour to one of the temples near your hotel with an explanation of the rules of behavior in the temples. End of the introductory tour.
You will visit the ancient Japanese village of Shirakawa-go, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A special feature of the village is its architecture, typical of the snowy regions of Japan: 3-4-story houses are built in the gassho-zukuri style (hands in prayer style) - the thatched roofs of the houses have a very steep angle of inclination so that snow does not accumulate on them, and shaped like hands folded in prayer.
