Overview

Start your morning near Imadegawa Station and walk to Tea Ceremony KOTO for a traditional matcha experience. Learn how tea is prepared, understand the meaning behind each movement, and enjoy freshly whisked matcha with seasonal Japanese sweets. It’s interactive, easy to follow, and ideal for first-time visitors. Next, stroll through Kyoto Gyoen National Garden. Once home to the Imperial Court, this spacious park offers a quieter side of Kyoto. Your guide shares historical insights so you gain context, not just photos. Continue on foot to Nijō Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Step inside the former Tokugawa residence and walk across the famous “nightingale floors” designed to chirp as a security feature. The tour ends at 12:30 PM, giving you the rest of the day to explore Kyoto.
