Highlights
Japan’s ancient capital echoes with the footsteps of the samurai, geisha, and kabuki performers who walked these cobblestone streets centuries ago. On this walking tour of Kyoto, you’ll stroll along the Kamo River to hear about the heart-stopping events that happened on its shores. Starting at the historic Shijo Bridge, which has watched over Japan’s ancient capital since the Shogun era, you’ll discover how bridges evolved from footpaths to modern transport routes. You’ll hear tales of intrigue from the Gion District’s teahouses, including a famous Winter revenge plot. As you make your way along the river and back towards the tour’s starting point, you’ll follow in the footsteps of pilgrims who walked from Edo (now Tokyo) to Kyoto, bringing rice crackers with them. You’ll also walk along the famous Shijo street toward Yasaka Jinga, where the pilgrims would end their 12-day journey. By the end of this tour, you’ll have enriched your knowledge of Kyoto’s history.

Die Stadt beherbergt viele der kostbarsten Stätten Japans. Tausende zinnoberrote Torii-Tore des Fushimi Inari Taisha steigen einen bewaldeten Berg hinauf, der Goldene Pavillon des Kinkaku-ji schimmert über seinem Teich, und die hölzerne Bühne des Kiyomizu-dera ragt aus dem Hang über der Stadt. Der Felsengarten des Ryoan-ji und das moosbewachsene Gelände des Ginkaku-ji laden zur stillen Betrachtung ein.
