• I would like to enhance your excitement to be in the ancient capital of Japan. In March 2024, there was official announcement from the Ministry of Transport and Tourism that it is now possible for tour guides to provide tour services in private vehicles. I will do our best to provide a comfortable stay in Kyoto for both first-time visitors and repeat visitors.
• Itinerary is just one of the example for the day and it is possible to add more places to visit along the way. Due to the rear seat space limitation, recommended number of guests are up to 3 with all adult guests or 4 with one child guest.

Higashi Honganji, officially known as Shinshū Honbyō, is the mother temple of the Shinshū Ōtani-ha branch of Jōdo Shinshū (Shin Buddhism), whose founder is Shinran (1173-1262). The image of Shinran is enshrined on the altar in the Founder's Hall, while that of Amida Buddha is in Amida Hall. After the death of Shinran, a mausoleum was constructed by his close followers at Ōtani in Kyoto, and his ashes interred there, from which the present Higashi Honganji eventually came into being many years later. Since then, with tremendous support from its followers, Higashi Honganji has been serving as a spiritual center, where one can encounter the Nenbutsu teaching as clarified by Shinran, so as to discover the meaning of life and to awaken to a true relationship with the Dōbō (those, following the same path).
