## Itinerary

### Day 1: Tokyo - Kyoto

Total distance covered by bullet train: 430 km. 07:00 a.m. - Departure from the hotel. We'll transfer to Tokyo Station to board a high-speed bullet train. The journey will take approximately two hours and fifteen minutes. Note: You'll be accompanied to the station, but during the train journey, a guide will not travel with you if the group for this section of the trip has fewer than 15 people. Upon your arrival at Kyoto Station, our guide will be waiting to continue the tour. 10:30 a.m. - Kyoto. We'll meet our main guide and begin exploring this historic city, which served as Japan's capital from 794 to 1868 and hosted the Imperial Court. Remarkably, Kyoto was the only major Japanese city spared from bombing during World War II, allowing it to preserve its extraordinary artistic and cultural heritage. Kyoto is also known as the site where the 1997 Kyoto Protocol was signed, a treaty aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Our tour will cover some of Kyoto's most iconic landmarks, including the Kinkakuji Temple-commonly known as the "Golden Pavilion"—surrounded by its stunning gardens and the Imperial Palace. Free time for lunch. Afterwards, visit the breathtaking Shinto Shrine of Fushimi Inari. Transfer to Gion will be included. This lively, traditional district is renowned for its Geisha culture and offers a glimpse into Kyoto's historic charm. Enjoy free time to explore.
