Our First day in Kyoto
Today we start out with a walking tour of Nishiki Market in central Kyoto. A great market to explore with our guide. We stop along the way to see and hear a bit about a local Shinto Shrine before heading off for a coffee break.
Our artist takes us sketching and painting along the riverbanks of the Kamo river until early afternoon before we head back to the hotel.
Around 6pm we meet up with our guide for a Night Tour of the famous Gion District through the alleyways and bar district of the once infamous riverside accommodation and entertainment area.
Philosopher's Walk & The Silver Pavillion
The hills to the east of the city have a rich heritage and we start with a walk through the preserved buildings and market streets on our way to The Silver Pavillion. A temple with a long history, beautifully preserved, gorgeous autumn gardens.
Close by is the starting point of The Philosophers Walk a gentle down hill 1+ klms of local houses, shrines, forest, people and gardens as we follow the water canal back towards Kyoto city that we can glimpse in the distance.
We stop to sketch and paint, visit shrines and back streets and stopping off for lunch and coffee or tea along the way.
Fushimi
Sumi-E Calligraphy class is an OPTION you should consider. Our instructor Saori provides a workshop in traditional Japanese style calligraphy in her studio. We stay and meet there for lunch before visiting the famous Fushimi Shinto Shrine which extends way back into the hills behind the township. Fushimi is famous for its retina burning orange "Torii Gates" that line many pathways.
We enjoy a trip back on the old fashioned train/trams to finish off our day.
Our Accommodation
5 STAR Luxury Hotel experience overlooking the Kamo Reap river in central Kyoto. It is easy walking distance to the city center, dining, shopping, entertainment and transport. The hotel has a large pool, Spa Treatments, beauty and massage with award winning restaurants and bars. Visit our Accommodation page - Add early arrivals or extra nights >
Weather in Kyoto
Spring in Kyoto means Cherry Blossoms and if we are lucky we will experience one of the premier natural events in the region. Spring ushers in warmer weather with a range from 15 to 25C and slight chance of rain. Sometimes windy so be prepared.
