Discover major sites and some hidden spots with a private guide

In this tour, I show you major sightseeing spots with some hidden good places mainly in WESTERN part of Kyoto.
Kyoto became the capital of Japan in 794. It was established by the Emperor Kammu. Kyoto flourished as the center of Japan for over 1, 100 years. There are many old temples and shrines including seventeen UNESCO world cultural heritage sites. In the historical amusement quarters such as Gion and Miyagawa-cho, you may also see Kimono-clad female entertainers called "Geiko" and "Maiko". Let's enjoy together and discover the real Kyoto with me!!
