Overview
  • * One-day tour of three famous summer resorts in Kyoto, fast-paced but healing
  • * Limited opening of Rurikoin Temple, rare experience of light and shadow aesthetics

  • * Kibune Riverbed cuisine + water divination, double coolness of the tip of the tongue and metaphysics
What to expect

* **Rurikoin Temple** – Step through the gate and be enveloped by lush greenery. The verdant reflections on the lacquered tables create a flowing, oil-painting effect. The "Moss Garden," a summer exclusive, is a uniquely refreshing escape. (Admission fee not included) * **Sanzen-in Temple** – Upon entering, you'll be greeted by towering ancient trees and a carpet of moss. Adorable Jizo bodhisattvas hide among the trees on the mossy ground. Sit in the "Shuhekien Garden," sip matcha, and listen to the murmuring stream, letting the coolness seep into your heart. In July, this place will be filled with vibrant hydrangeas. (Admission and dining fees not included) * **Kifune Shrine** – A natural air conditioner in the mountains behind Kyoto. Dine on a "kawadoko" platform with a stream running underfoot. Obtain a "water fortune" slip, immerse it in water to reveal the message, and decipher your summer oracle. (Admission and dining fees not included)
