Tour Itinerary

 

Ninna-ji Temple
Visit Ninna-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Omuro Cherry Trees which blossom at Ninna-ji Temple are a late-blooming variety, and their arrival marks the end of cherry blossom season in Kyoto. These cherry trees are shorter and feature double-petaled blossoms. If the Omuro cherry blossoms are not in bloom, the tour will visit the temple’s Goten (Palace and gardens), which is built in the style of an imperial palace. On the temple grounds you’ll also find the Kondo main hall which is a national treasure, a 5-storied pagoda designated as Important Cultural Property, and more.

Tenryu-ji Temple
Tenryu-ji Temple is a World Heritage zen temple and one of Kyoto’s leading sightseeing spots. The mountain Arashiyama provides a natural backdrop in the garden where visitors can admire various types of cherry blossoms.

Stroll around Arashiyama
The tour will visit Arashiyama’s world-famous bamboo grove. Afterwards, enjoy free time to walk around and eat lunch on your own. Lunch is not included in the tour.

Kitano Tenmangu Shrine & Hirano Shrine
Participants will be guided through Kitano-tenmangu Shrine, famous for the patron god of scholars, and Hirano Shrine. Hirano Shrine is bustling during this season, with many types of cherry blossoms to be seen throughout its grounds and a teahouse.

Heian Jingu Shrine
A shrine built to commemorate the 1,200 year anniversary of the transfer of the Japanese capital to Kyoto. This is now one of the representative shrines of Kyoto, featuring vibrant pink cherry blossoms which contrast brilliantly against the tranquil pond and verdant garden.
