Second Kyoto: Deep Discovery by Private Car & Guide

“The beauty of the Golden Pavilion and Kiyomizu-dera was breathtaking. But surely, there are still stories in Kyoto waiting to be discovered.”

If you have visited Kyoto once or twice and found yourself captivated by its charm, you have likely felt this way. It’s that intellectual curiosity—the desire to go deeper and feel the true pulse of the city beyond its famous landmarks. We value that sense of adventure above all else.

“It’s hard to find the right path for our next visit on our own...” “There are places I want to go, but the logistics seem complicated...”

That is exactly where we come in. Even if you don’t have a specific destination in mind, simply share your interests and your favorite travel memories with us. Our expert concierges will craft an itinerary that aligns with your curiosity, while our private cars and dedicated guides reveal the stories hidden within each location.

Together, let’s open the door to a Kyoto you haven’t met yet. A special story, uniquely yours, is waiting for you here.

Venture deep into the northern mountains of Kyoto to the lush, spiritual sanctuary of Kurama. We will guide you from Kurama-dera Temple, revered for centuries as a powerful spiritual site, to Kibune Shrine, the ancient home of the Water God. While these remote mountain areas can be challenging to reach on your own, our private car ensures a smooth and effortless journey. Wrapped in a mystical atmosphere where history and faith intertwine under the dappled sunlight, this is a quiet luxury perfectly suited for the seasoned traveler.

Nestled in the northwestern ravines, the "Sanbi" area retains a solemn, untouched atmosphere precisely because of its secluded location. Explore Kozanji, home to the Choju-giga (widely considered to be Japan’s oldest manga scrolls), and Jingoji, renowned for its magnificent temple grounds. With your dedicated guide, embark on an intellectual adventure to unravel the stories behind these architectural gems and masterpieces, lovingly preserved over centuries.

At the foot of Mt. Hiei lies Ohara, a tranquil rural retreat. Here, time seems to stand still. You will visit the moss-covered grounds of the prestigious Sanzen-in Temple, and Hosen-in, celebrated for its exquisite "picture-frame" garden views. While accessing this area by public transport can be cumbersome, a private car makes the journey pure comfort. Let us guide you to a world of quiet beauty where the hustle of the city feels a world away.
