See the best of Japan's ancient city on a full-day tour that embraces Kyoto's historic past. A scenic 1.5-hour motorcoach ride takes you to Kinkakuji Temple, a landmark of Kyoto. Explore the extensive grounds and the magnificent three-story pavilion. Then it is on to the colorful Nishiki Market to sample local culinary delights and to peruse the shops that have been in the same family for generations. End your day at Kiyomizu Temple, in the eastern part of Kyoto, where you can find the famous Kiyomizu Stage – a veranda that extends out over a cliff and was built without a single nail. The view of Kyoto from the stage is unparalleled. Return to your motorcoach for the relaxing ride back to port.
