Points forts
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.

About Kyoto
Kyoto, capitale impériale du Japon pendant plus de mille ans, est une ville de temples, de jardins, de maisons de bois et de traditions raffinées.
La ville abrite bon nombre des sites les plus précieux du Japon. Les milliers de portiques torii vermillon du Fushimi Inari Taisha grimpent une montagne boisée, le Pavillon d'or du Kinkaku-ji miroite sur son étang, et la terrasse en bois du Kiyomizu-dera avance depuis le flanc de la colline au-dessus de la ville. Le jardin de rocaille du Ryoan-ji et les terrains moussus du Ginkaku-ji invitent à la contemplation tranquille.
Top-ranked sights in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
