Hotel check-ins typically start at 3:00 PM. That single "blank hour" beforehand might just be the key to making your entire Kyoto trip dramatically more interesting. Set at Toyokuni Shrine, easily accessible from Kyoto Station, this tour allows you to touch the depths of Kyoto's history in just 60 minutes.
The foundation of Kyoto’s modern cityscape was actually laid 400 years ago by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the most successful leader in Japanese history. With his life story featured as a central theme in Japan’s premier historical TV drama series starting in January 2026, domestic interest in his legacy has recently reignited.
The highlight of this journey is the encounter with the "Toyokuni Festival Folding Screen" housed in the Treasure Museum. Remarkably, this screen vividly depicts "famous modern Kyoto landmarks" that you might be planning to visit—such as Sanjusangen-do and Kiyomizu-dera—exactly as they appeared 400 years ago.
By exploring the screen with the guide’s commentary, the painted scenery of the past merges with the cityscape of today, allowing you to feel the deep historical connection woven by the city of Kyoto.
What if the familiar streets of Kyoto actually conceal remnants from Hideyoshi’s time? These surprising discoveries will not just stimulate; they will fundamentally transform your understanding of the city.
