Meet your guide at Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo (Formerly: New Miyako Hotel)・Sunrise Tour Desk. Please arrive 10 minutes before departure. You'll walk to Kyoto Station and take the train to Uji.

We will begin our tour by exploring Uji Bridge, a historic structure dating back to the 7th century, making it one of Japan's oldest bridges. Following this, we continue with a walking sightseeing tour of Nakanoshima Park.

The highlight of the day is attending an authentic tea ceremony in the Taihoan Tea House, where you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in this tradition and gain insights into an age-old practice.

At the end of the morning, you'll visit Byodo-in Temple, a registered World Heritage destination and part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto. The picturesque temple was built at the end of the Heian Era. The temple's hall, Phoenix Hall, is immortalized on the 10 yen coin.

At the end of the visit, you'll head back to the train station with your guide.

Upon arrival at Kyoto Station you are free to continue your day as you wish.
