Our Experience
Kiyomizudera
temple
This feat of ancient engineering is a sprawling temple built high in the forest on stilts without a single nail. The shops that lead up to it are another attraction in themselves.
Nijo Jo
castle
The floors of this castle were especially built to make the sound of Nightingale birds when walked on, so the emperor could hear intruders. Try it for yourself!
