You’ll spend the day with one of our friendly hosts as you take to the streets of Kyoto and unleash your inner explorer. Kyoto is synonymous with old world Japan and it is here in the ‘City of Temples’ where you’ll be able to visit iconic and sacred sites like Kodaji Temple, Kinkajuki Temple and Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine. The latter is one of the most famous Shinto sites in the world, and as you hike to the peak of the mountain beyond, you’ll be treated to some of the best elevated views of Kyoto. Perhaps you’d like to explore the culturally rich entertainment district of Gion together.

Alternatively, you could get off the beaten tourist track and explore some hidden gems in the city that only a local would know about. Wherever you roam, keep your eyes open to the astonishing natural beauty of Kyoto. Your host is the perfect source of advice on how to spend the rest of your time in the city. They’ve got you covered on the where, when and how front. All you have to do is enjoy!

Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded local host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do
