Discover Kyoto's unspoiled treasures that stand as silent tributes to its sacred past. From Osaka, sit back and enjoy a narrated drive to your first destination, the Fushimi Inari Shrine. Built in 711, it's most famous for the 10,000 brilliant red gates that arch over a pathway leading through a forest and up to a hilltop overlooking Kyoto. Lunch beckons next followed by a visit to the Ryoanji Temple. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the 15th century temple is noted for its tranquil Zen rock garden. Your final destination is Sanjusangendo Temple which was established by Taira no Kiyomori in 1164. The 120-meter hall, the longest in Japan, is named for its 33 intervals between columns. Inside, there are 1,000 standing Kannon statues, centered around a seated Kannon, all designated as national treasures.
