You will meet your English-speaking guide at your hotel in Kyoto.
Kyoto is Japan's ancient imperial capital and one of the oldest cities in the country. Its entire historical part is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Kyoto was founded in the 8th century and served as the Imperial residence for almost twelve centuries.
Introducing the Kyoto Subway, your guide will show you how to use it, pinpoint the city’s main attractions, and help you purchase travel tickets. This way, you will learn how to travel in the city by yourself. There will also be a brief tour to one of the temples near your hotel.
Just an hour from Tokyo’s neon rush, a mountain rises from the mist, wrapped in cedar forests and old legends. Locals say Tengu, the long-nosed, winged mountain demons, still roam its slopes — tricksters who guard the sacred realm of Mt. Takao. Their red faces glare from temple carvings and souvenir masks, reminders that this mountain is not just a hiking spot, but a place where myth still breathes.
