Overview
This tour allows you to discover Kyoto from two of its great spiritual traditions: Shinto and Buddhism. Tour the famous red torii of Fushimi Inari-taisha, one of Japan’s most iconic shrines, and then visit Otani Hombyo, a quiet and less crowded place that brings a deeper insight into the city’s Buddhist culture. The route continues to Kiyomizu-dera, one of the most impressive temples in Kyoto, famous for its large wooden platform and panoramic views. Accompanied by a guide in Spanish, you will not only visit must-see places, but also better understand their history, symbols and the role they continue to play in Japanese life today.
