Kyoto, at its own pace.
Temple gardens, wooden streets and eight seats at a counter, with a ryokan to come home to.
Kyoto rewards those who slow down and start early. We look for the ryokan or the suite that suits you, a guide who can show you the quieter side of the city, and the table that is the reason some people come at all.
- Gion
- The old wooden streets of the geisha district, best walked early or after dark.
- Kiyomizu-dera
- A hillside temple on a great wooden stage, above the maples.
- Fushimi Inari
- Thousands of vermilion gates climbing a wooded mountain.
- Arashiyama
- The bamboo grove and the river, on the western edge of the city.
Starting points
Never packages. Livia shapes every part around the people travelling, and one reservation holds the whole of it.
Good to know
- When to go
- Late March to April for the cherry blossom, and November for the maples.
- Getting there
- Osaka's airports are a little over an hour away by car, and the bullet train from Tokyo takes a little over two hours.
- Prices
- Every price is indicative until your concierge confirms it in writing.
