You'll visit the legendary Amanohashidate sandbar, known as 'Heaven's Bridge' and counted among Japan's three most scenic views, before exploring the traditional floating village of Ine Bay with its unique wooden boathouses built directly over the water. Your professional multilingual guide accompanies you in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle as you travel to the Sea of Japan coast. The tour combines natural beauty with cultural experiences, including a visit to the historic Chionji Temple, relaxation in local hot springs, and the chance to cycle or walk through Ine village, often called the Venice of Japan for its waterside architecture.

Book Sky Hop Bus Kyoto hop-on hop-off tickets and visit the city's temples, shrines and palaces from an open-top bus. Choose a 1 or 2 day pass and ride the Red, Purple and Green routes, with 14 stops between them, including Nijo Castle, Kinkaku-ji and the Kyoto Imperial Palace. An audio guide in seven languages and free Wi-Fi are included, and a poncho is provided in the rainy season. What do the three Kyoto routes cover? All three routes start at Kyoto Station. The Red route runs every 40 minutes from 9am to 7pm and is the one to take for Nijo Castle, famous for its nightingale floors that chirp like birds as you walk, and the golden pavilion of Kinkaku-ji. The Purple route runs every 40 minutes from 9:20am, with the last bus at 5:09pm, and stops at Daitoku-ji Temple and the Kyoto Imperial Palace. The Green route runs every 2 hours from 12:15pm, with the last bus at 6:01pm, and visits Ginkaku-ji Temple and the Kyoto National Museum. Along the way you can also see the torii gate of Heian Shrine and the Kamo River. What is included with your ticket? Your pass includes unlimited hop-on hop-off travel on all three routes. The 1 day pass is valid for one calendar day, and the 2 day pass for two consecutive calendar days. The audio guide is available in Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French and German, and there is free Wi-Fi on board. In the rainy season you also get a poncho. Entry to temples, shrines and other attractions is not included, so carry some cash for admission fees at each stop. Boarding and rules on board Your voucher is emailed to you shortly after booking. Show it on your phone with a valid photo ID at the starting point, and check the voucher for exact instructions. Food, drinks and alcohol are not allowed on the bus. Children under six travel free if they do not take a separate seat. Lockers are available, and there is air conditioning or heating depending on the season. Planning your Kyoto day Because the Green route runs only every 2 hours, plan your visit to Ginkaku-ji and the National Museum around its timetable first, then use the Red and Purple routes, which are more frequent, to fill the rest of your day. Many temples close in the late afternoon, so start early. A 2 day pass gives you time to see all three routes without rushing. This ticket cannot be cancelled, so check your dates before you book. Wear comfortable shoes, as many of Kyoto's temples and gardens involve a fair amount of walking once you leave the bus. Make more of your Kyoto visit Start or finish at Kyoto Station with Nidec Kyoto Tower tickets for the view from the observation deck. Rail fans can visit the Kyoto Railway Museum, and for a slower pace, try a private tea ceremony in a garden teahouse.

Kyoto tea ceremony tickets: a 45-minute session in a Gion machiya Book this Kyoto tea ceremony and spend 45 minutes in a preserved machiya, a traditional wooden townhouse, in the Gion and Kiyomizu area. Camellia Tea Ceremony hosts the session in English, so you do not need to speak Japanese to follow the steps, the gestures or the meaning behind them. You learn what each utensil is for, how the tatami room is arranged and why the host moves the way they do. Then you prepare your own bowl of matcha with traditional tools and taste it alongside seasonal wagashi, the Japanese sweets served with the tea. The sweets change with the season, so the plate you get in November will not match the one in spring. Gion and Kiyomizu-dera sit close together on the eastern side of Kyoto, which makes this an easy fit before or after a temple walk. For a similar cultural stop, compare the Garden Teahouse private tea ceremony or browse more things to do in Kyoto on VervTrip. Choose your session: shared, private or with kimono There are four options, and all of them include the 45-minute ceremony in English, seasonal wagashi, and matcha preparation and tasting: Shared Tea Ceremony Experience: join a shared session with other guests. Shared Tea Ceremony Experience with Kimono Rental: the same shared session plus an optional all-day kimono rental. Private Tea Ceremony Experience: a private session for your own group. Private Tea Ceremony Experience with Kimono Rental: a private session plus the all-day kimono rental. Each booking takes from 1 to 10 guests. The kimono rental is only available at Flower Teahouse and Flower Annex, and the kimono options are listed at 1 hour 45 minutes. When you book a kimono option you are asked whether you need a male (M) or female (F) kimono. If you want a longer kimono-focused outing, the Kyoto Tondaya kimono and tea ceremony is a separate product from a different operator.

Its exhibits introduce freshwater life as well as creatures from the sea, encouraging you to look at the relationship between local waterways and wider marine environments.

The experience works well for travellers who want a change of subject between cultural visits.Kyoto Aquarium: an indoor outing for families and curious visitorsThe aquarium is an indoor attraction that can provide a useful alternative when you want a break from walking between outdoor sights. Large tanks and smaller displays give different ways to observe aquatic animals, with space to pause at the exhibits that catch your attention. Families can use the visit to discuss what they see together, while independent travellers can take a slower look at the displays.
