At the designated time, we'll meet at the Keihan Kyoto Hotel to begin our tour. We'll hop on a bus to the famous bamboo forest of Arashiyama, where, thanks to the early access ticket, you'll walk along its trails before other visitors arrive. Enjoy the tranquility of this forest.

Next, we'll visit Kinkaku-ji, the "Temple of the Golden Pavilion," renowned for its golden structure and reflection in the lake. Our next stop will be Nij? Castle, where we will discuss the shogunate as we explore the tatami rooms.

Our tour continues to the Kiyomizu-dera Temple, a major Kyoto site. We'll have a guided tour of this temple, offering spectacular views of the city from its wooden terrace. Afterwards, you can grab some lunch in the temple area. Next, we'll visit Fushimi Inari-taisha, known for its thousands of red torii, creating tunnels throughout the mountain. This experience will conclude our best of Kyoto tour.

Finally, we'll have a break for a meal before returning to the meeting point, concluding this 10-hour and 45-minute tour.
