Kyoto is a city that sits on the fence between maintaining a sense of history while being a modern hip city.
Allow us to show you an area of great interest in a fun and competitive format as your participants compete in teams in The Great Kyoto Scavenger Hunt.
The streets near Kiyomizu-dera are pedestrian-only and although they can be busy, at least there is no vehicle traffic. Discover this super-nice combination of beautiful architecture, interesting stores and restaurants and religious buildings.
