From Higashiyama Sancho Park, we can see a full scenery of Kyoto city.
If the

better view may be
possible.

Nanzen-ji Temple is one of Kyoto's most important temples. Its massive front gate drives this point home yet the structures and gardens on the grounds contain much that is sublime and beautiful.

You will have free time after lunch
Since there are so many places to go, we decided to leave the decisions
for you where to visit.
Our chartered bus will take you to go Sanjusangendo, and go to Yasaka shrine, where the ceremony of scattering parched beans starts at 16:00.
The famous Kiyomizu temple is within walking distance from Yasaka-shrine.
Detailed description can be found down below. |
