Come with us to visit Kyoto for 8 hours on foot and by public transport! We start with the famous Golden Pavilion, symbol of the splendour of Kyoto with its exterior covered in gold leaf. Then head for the Path of Philosophy, full of nature. We take it to the Silver Pavilion, famous for its pagoda, Zen Garden, and views of Kyoto. This temple is more sober but just as beautiful as the Golden Pavilion. In Kiyomizu-Dera, we admire the panoramic view of Kyoto from the famous terrace.
