- Overview
-
- Kyoto has a lot of attractions.
- Culture, history, temples and shrines, scenic beauty, museums, food and drinks, etc.
- One of them is gardens. Going around gardens makes me feel relaxed and calm. Landscape gardens, dry gardens, and moss gardens were created in different historical backgrounds.
- On this tour, I'll show you around three highlights; Shorenin, Nijo Castle, and one samurai temple with a dry garden.
- Three capitals in Japan so far.
- Nara presents you with Chinese civilisation, Tokyo with Western civilisation, and Kyoto, the capital for 1000 years, with original Japanese civilisation.
- Without knowing Kyoto, you cannot appreciate the original Japan.
- This tour will help you to deepen your understanding of the core Japan.
- What to expect
-
is one of the 16 World Heritage Sites in Kyoto. It was built 400 years ago by Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. As there is no original palace except NIjho Castle, Its value is historically and architecturally priceless. In addition, gorgeous wall paintings and its lord garden attract your attention. It is like a living museum, indeed. In this visit, you come to know about Shogun Ieyasu’s intention of building the palace.
