  3. Lunch

  4. One of the most popular tourist destinations in Kyoto. We can enjoy walking through thousands of vermillion Torii gates.

  5. Another UNESCO World Heritage site that we cover during the tour. The East Hills Side is close to the famous Gion, Maiko and Geisha district, therefore we can stroll around typical Kyotoite streets in the evening.
