Sightseeing across Kyoto
Kyoto’s highlights are spread across the city: Kinkaku-ji in the north, Arashiyama in the west, Fushimi Inari in the south and Kiyomizu-dera in the east. City buses are often full, so a private vehicle saves hours and keeps the group together.
Choosing the right size for Kyoto
Some temple districts limit access for large coaches and rely on designated coach parking. For smaller groups a HiAce or minibus is the most practical choice; for 30 or more passengers we recommend a 45- or 60-seat coach and plan the walking sections in advance.
Beyond the city
Popular extensions include Uji for matcha and Byodo-in, Miyama’s thatched-roof village, Amanohashidate on the Sea of Japan, and Lake Biwa in Shiga.
