About this experience
Not everyone knows that Kyoto was the capital of Japan for many centuries. Nevertheless, it has preserved the majestic atmosphere of the main city of the island nation. We invite you to visit the iconic temples and the brightest places of Kyoto, hear the legends associated with them, and capture the spirit of true Japan.
What to Expect
- Five-storied ancient pagoda of To-ji - a symbol of Kyoto. Considered the most beautiful pagoda in Japan.
- Kiyomizu-dera, also known as the Pure Water Temple - one of the most popular Buddhist temples in Japan. It is located on Mount Otowa, where, according to legend, the spirit of the goddess Kannon resides.
