This tour is designed for travelers who want to experience the very best of Kyoto’s autumn beauty—without the stress of navigating public transportation or missing hidden gems. With a carefully planned route that covers all four corners of the city, this bus tour takes you to seven of Kyoto’s most stunning and historically rich foliage spots, many of which are difficult to access on your own. From the glowing maple-lined path of Komyo-ji Temple to the golden serenity of Kamigamo Shrine, and the fiery red leaves surrounding the five-story pagoda of To-ji Temple, each stop offers a different expression of Kyoto’s seasonal charm.

What truly sets this tour apart is the efficiency and comfort of traveling by private bus, allowing you to explore more in one day than most visitors could manage on their own. This is not just a sightseeing trip—it’s a curated journey through Kyoto’s sacred spaces, quiet forest paths, and iconic temples, all wrapped in the vibrant colors of fall. 

The bus will stop at a nearby location where it is safe and convenient for passengers to disembark. If the tour departs from Namba it will end also in Namba.
