At the indicated time, we'll meet at Sanjo Station to start this free tour of Kyoto.
First, we'll take a walk along the banks of the Kamogawa River while we learn about the history of Kyoto, which was the capital of Japan between 794 and 1868. The tour will then continue in Gion, the geisha district. We'll discover who these women are and admire the traditional wooden houses of the district, built in the Machi-Ya architectural style.
The next stop will be at Chion-in Temple, one of the main Buddhist temples in Kyoto. After learning about its history, we'll continue our tour in Hisashi-Yama, one of the most important historical areas of the city. There, we'll discover the fascinating stories of the ancient Japanese emperors and samurai warriors, called shoguns.
