1) Day4-Kyoto City Highlight Tours with Lunch(Min.10 participants): US$120 View Itinerary Click Here
Tour duration: 09:00AM - 05:00PM
Highlights:
*Kinkakuji Golden Pavilion (金閣寺 )
*Kiyomizudera (音羽山清水寺)
*Arashiyama Bamboo Grove (竹林の道)
*Gion Geisha District (祗园kyotokanko.co.jp)
*Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion) is a Zen temple in northern Kyoto whose top two floors are completely covered in gold leaf. Formally known as Rokuonji, the temple was the retirement villa of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and according to his will it became a Zen temple of the Rinzai sect after his death in 1408. Kinkakuji is an impressive structure built overlooking a large pond, and is the only building left of Yoshimitsu's former retirement complex. It has burned down numerous times throughout its history including twice during the Onin War, a civil war that destroyed much of Kyoto; and once again more recently in 1950 when it was set on fire by a fanatic monk. The present structure was rebuilt in 1955.
*Kiyomizudera (Pure Water Temple) is one of the most celebrated temples of Japan. It was founded in 780 and remains associated with the Hosso sect, one of the oldest sects within Japanese Buddhism. In 1994, the temple was added to the list of UNESCO world heritage sites. Kiyomizudera stands in the wooded hills of eastern Kyoto and offers visitors a nice view over the city from its famous wooden terrace. And the many shops, restaurants and ryokan in the area have been catering to tourists and pilgrims for centuries. Products on sale range from local specialties such as Kiyomizu-yaki pottery, sweets and pickles to the standard set of souvenirs.
*The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is one of Kyoto's top sights and for good reason: standing amid these soaring stalks of bamboo is like being in another world. You can access it directly from the main street of Arashiyama, a little to the north of the entrance to Tenryu-ji Temple, but it's best paired with a visit to that temple (exit the north gate, take a left and you'll be in the grove in no time). There’s just one main path through the grove, which leads slowly uphill. Once you get to the top of the hill, the entrance to the sublime Okochi-Sanso Villa is right in front of you (go in, you won't regret it).
*Gion is a district of Kyoto, Japan, originally developed in the Middle Ages, in front of Yasaka Shrine (Gion Shrine). The district was built to accommodate the needs of travelers and visitors to the shrine. It eventually evolved to become one of the most exclusive and well-known geisha districts in all of Japan. The geisha in Kyoto do not refer to themselves as geisha; instead, they use the local term geiko. While the term geisha means "artist" or "person of the arts", the more direct term geiko means essentially "a woman of art".

*Shibuya-ku
*Kabukicho
*Tsukiji Fish Market - It is said that "Uogashi" or a riverside fish market dates back to the 16th century, the beginning of the Edo period. Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first Tokugawa shogun and builder of Edo as is now Tokyo, invited fishermen from Tsukudajima, Osaka and gave them a privilege for fishing in order to let them supply seafood to Edo Castle. The fishermen purveyed fish to the Castle and sold the remains near the Nihonbashi bridge. It was the origin of Uogashi.
*The Tokyo Imperial Palace (Imperial Residence) is the primary residence of the Emperor of Japan. It is a large park-like area located in the Chiyoda ward of Tokyo and contains buildings including the main palace, the private residences of the Imperial Family, an archive, museums and administrative offices. The actual Tokyo Imperial Palace buildings are located within the grounds of what was Edo Castle, which is said to be the most expensive square kilometer in the world. Many of Edo Castle's moats, defensive walls, gate houses and turrets still remain. The term Kokyo literally means the Imperial Residence
*Sensoji, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple, is a Buddhist temple located in Asakusa. It is one of Tokyo's most colorful and popular temples, and one of its most significant. Formerly associated with the Tendai sect of Buddhism, it became independent after World War II. Adjacent to the temple is a five-story pagoda, Shinto shrine, the Asakusa Shrine, as well as the Nakamise-dori (Nakamise Shopping Street) - a brightly-colored thoroughfare of food vendors and souvenir stores that leads to Asakusa Kannon Temple.
*Shibuya-ku is a shopping and eating district popular with a lot of young Tokyoites. It's within walking distance from two other large shopping districts - Omotesando and Harajuku. Shibuya deserves a prize as the district with more two-story televisions than any other area in the world. Most of the action in Shibuya is in the hectic blocks to the northwest of the JR station. The best place to get oriented is the Hachiko exit, which opens onto the famous five-way "scramble crossing" under the giant video screen.
*Kabukicho is an entertainment and red-light district in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. Kabukicho is the location of many host and hostess clubs, love hotels, shops, restaurants, and nightclubs, and is often called the "Sleepless Town" . The area has many movie theaters and is located near Shinjuku Station, Seibu Shinjuku Station, and several other major railway and subway stations.

*Oshino Hakkai: It is a touristy set of eight ponds in Oshino, a small village in the Fuji Five Lake region, located between Lake Kawaguchiko and Lake Yamanakako on the site of a former sixth lake that dried out several hundred years ago. The eight ponds are fed by snowmelt from the slopes of nearby Mount Fuji that filters down the mountain through porous layers of lava for over 80 years, resulting in very clear spring water that is revered by the locals.
*Lake Ashi Cruise: This crater lake along the southwest wall of the caldera of Mt. Hakone was formed by a powerful volcanic eruption nearly 3,000 years ago, and provides postcard views of Mt. Fuji towering 30 km northwest. Admire the superb view of Mt. Fuji from aboard a ship.
*Komagatake Ropeway: Take a 7-minute ropeway ride to the peak of Mt. Komagatake. A total of 50 minutes will be spent here, including time to walk around at the peak. Take a cableway ride up to the spiritual Hakone Shrine Mototsumiya (original shrine) that nestles at the mountaintop.
*Late March to early April is historically the best time to view cherry blossoms, but we can't guarantee that they will bloom on these dates as they are highly seasonal and subject to climatic conditions.
*From June to August, it is the best time to view fresh spring greens and enjoy the warm climate.
