Begin your tour at Kinkakuji, the Golden Pavilion, a famous Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto. Admire its top two floors covered in 24k gold leaf, reflecting in a surrounding pond.
Next, head to the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, a serene forest path surrounded by towering bamboo stalks that sway gently in the wind. Nearby, you’ll find the iconic Togetsukyo Bridge, which offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the Katsura River.
For lunch, enjoy your own free time at the local market in Nishiki Ichiba, one of the iconic traditional markets for you to explore and shop.
