Kyoto: Sacred Hill to Ancient Alleys [4 hours]
About
Start at the ancient, pure, pristine top, and slowly slide deep into the underbelly of Kyoto, Japan as afternoon passes into evening. (This is an easier 'hill hike' than most people offer, since we go downhill almost all the way!)
-Meet at Kyoto Station and go uphill the easy way
-Learn why a famous temple was placed on its mountaintop setting (and it's not what they say)
-The hustle and bustle of shopping streets older than most countries
-Secret spots and hidden hideaways away from the crowd
-See one of the most famous gardens and explore temple construction
-Unusual facts about how temples age and are decorated
-Enjoy Japanese traditional snacks, as you like
-How the Geisha lived in the past, as well as now
-See how Japanese cities must have looked in the past
-Return to Kyoto Station or drop off at another site of your choice (e.g. Nishiki Market?)
