From Bamboo to Hidden Shrines: Kyoto’s Private Escape Tour by Car

Tired of the crowds and cookie-cutter tours? This private tour is crafted for travelers seeking Kyoto’s quieter, spiritual side—the one guidebooks often miss. We begin in Arashiyama at peaceful temples that are still considered must-visits, yet remain pleasantly uncrowded. From there, we drive into Kyoto’s northern countryside, away from the tourist map, into the deep green of forests and old villages. You'll walk shaded paths, breathe in the scent of moss and trees, and visit sacred places known for their silence more than their fame. One stop includes a tranquil garden where time seems to pause. Another, a centuries-old shrine tucked deep in the mountains, doesn’t appear on maps—and its name is deliberately kept secret. Some say it feels like entering another world. Others fall silent, moved by the stillness. This isn’t just a sightseeing trip. It’s a meditative journey into Kyoto’s sacred quiet. Special launch offer: 40% off for early guests.
