The usual Kyoto sightseeing + hot springs, a trip to heal your mind and body.
Kyoto, whose culture was originally rooted in a land rich in nature, has many hot springs and a variety of spring qualities. Kyoto's hot springs healed the fatigue of many of our ancestors. In addition to enjoying walking around the town, how about a trip where you can feel the ``attractiveness of the hot springs''? Enjoy hot springs more easily.
“SPA PASS KYOTO”
You can experience a "hot spring tour" of up to 3 of the 9 hot spring facilities in Kyoto City.
(There are a total of 5 types of tickets: 1 hot spring bathing ticket that allows you to choose 3 of the 6 free facilities, and 4 tickets that include a hot spring bath plus a cafe or lunch.)
Even if you don't know how to enter a hot spring, it is okay! At the reception desk at the facility, you will receive an original hand towelwith an illustration of onsen bathing etiquette. Please visit Kyoto's hot springs to heal your body after a long day of sightseeing.

A special one-day only experience (Saturday, December 9th) where you can interact with the people of the Minami Kannon Preservation Society, which has been protecting Minami Kannon Mountain*!
*One of the 34 floats that have continued to support the ``Yamahoko Junko'', the main event of the Gion Festival, which has continued for 650 years.
“How do they assemble such a big float?” “What does everyone usually do?”
This is a valuable opportunity to resolve these questions.
Why not reconsider the ``connections'' of the Gion Festival, which is rooted in the local community, through interaction with the members of the preservation society?

The dream waterway of our predecessors, which can be traced by canal boat
Traces of many great achievements that can only be seen by boarding the shipLake Biwa Canal is an artificial canal built to revive Kyoto's industry, which had declined due to the relocation of the capital to Tokyo. This project, which was completed after overcoming numerous difficulties, was a major project in Kyoto during the Meiji period, carried out solely by Japanese people. The Lake Biwa Canal has been revived after 70 years.
Please enjoy a boat trip where you can see for yourself the achievements of our predecessors while enjoying the scenery around the canal that creates a seasonal atmosphere.▶ Unique points
《Points that can only be seen by those on board》
・Among the plaques written by politicians who represent the Meiji period that are displayed at the entrance of each tunnel, the only one inside the tunnel is Kunimichi Kitagaki, the third governor of Kyoto who planned and constructed the canal project. It's a flat forehead.
・Passengers on board can see the pit, which was the first in Japan to use the pit method, from below.LINK KYOTOautumn leavescherry blossomshistoryKyoto sightseeingsightseeingexperienceKyoto culture
