Kyoto Trips

With over 2000 temples, shrines and gardens, Kyoto is a treasure house of Japan‘s cultural heritage and is one of the most fascinating cities in Asia. Unlike many other Japanese towns, it escaped the ravages of both the Second World War and modern urban development, thereby keeping intact much of the spirit and architecture of traditional Japan. From the impressive Nijo Castle, built in 1603 as a residence for the Tokugawa shoguns, to the famous Kinkakuji Golden Pavilion, built in 1397 as a summer villa for the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (and immortalised in Mishima Yukio’s novel, ‘The Temple of the Golden Pavilion’), there is a wealth of sites to indulge in.

The famous geisha districts are also must-sees during Kyoto trips. Packed with bars, restaurants and traditional teahouses, Gion and Pontocho are at their most atmospheric in the early evening, when the lanterns are lit and apprentice geisha will flit about the back streets on their way to their appointments.

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our trip to Japan. It was a wide ranging trip covering a good number of Japanese sites and experiences as much as you might expect in the time we were there.

A Great two weeks in Japan. Great people friendly, very helpful and polite.
Gary Davey Japan's Kumano Kodo

An amazing trip to japan to see its wonder and it didn’t disappoint. we were blessed with incredible weather which led to the blessing of seeing Mount Fuji fully during the day and at sunset which is mesmerising. the snow monkeys also came out to entertain us in such a beautiful location. we also had sakura viewings almost every day in abundance in the warm sunshine. spotting geisha wandering along and talking to each other as they were on the way to bookings was a lifelong tick of my list!! seeing a dance show complete with a comedy section which was totally relatable even if we couldn’t understand Japanese eating the most amazing food lots I have never had before and seeing how the real people of japan eat out and drink sake.
