Nijo Castle and Imperial Palace Visit with Private Guide

For this privately guided tour, you can choose one from two different time slots, morning tour or afternoon tour. You will meet the guide simply in front of the huge white main gate of Nijo Castle. After one-hour guided tour in Nijo Castle, you will transfer to Imperial Palace by public transportation with the guide, and you will have another one-hour-guided tour in Imperial Place. Entry fee and transportation are all included in the tour fee. Morning tour starts at 9AM and ends at 11:30AM while Afternoon tour starts at 1PM and ends at 3:30PM. After or before the tour, you will have plenty of time to visit another location on the day while deeply leaning about the background of Kyoto and Japan. We believe this tour makes your Kyoto visit far more meaningful one.
