Coming to Japan to cheer on your team for the Rugby World Cup? Let Kyoto Fun show you the best places to check out in beautiful city of Kyoto.
No trip to Japan is complete without a trip to Kyoto. Although we don't have a stadium here, with the bullet trains in Japan we are only 2.5hrs from Tokyo and close to a lot of the other stadiums too. Blessed with hundreds of beautiful and historic sites, it will be difficult to know what is best to squeeze in between the matches of your favourite team. That's where you can rely on Kyoto Fun to take care of your time while you are here. We have been providing fun and friendly tours of Kyoto day and night since 2014. One of the top rated tour operators in Kyoto on TripAdvisor too. Let us show you a great time in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Day One: Private Gion Night Walk
Arrive in Kyoto before nightfall, be collected at your hotel and brought to the beautiful streets of Gion for a walking orientation tour. This is one of the only places in Japan where the geisha still live and work. After seeing some of the highlights of this district, the rest of the evening is really up to you. We can make a visit to a local "izakaya" for some drinks and tapas, or book you in for a special meal. Choose from a huge range of options. We can even reserve you a table for an exquisite Kobe beef meal at one of our favourite spots. After the meal we can do a little bar hopping, visit an exclusive bar or club or even arrange a private audience with a real geisha. The tour is 7,500yen/person for your bilingual guide for the evening. This includes a 2hr walking tour, and all arrangements for the rest of the evening. You can invite your guide to join you after the walking tour to show you some of their favourite places in the city after dark too. We can be totally flexible budget wise, from student hang outs with $3 drinks to top end classy joints and everything in between. A questionnaire will be sent our once your booking is complete. This is a fun tour for a lads night out and can be a great way to get an introduction to the city too.

Day Two: Hike and Hot Springs
On a Rugby World Cup trip you will likely spend most of your time in cities so this is a nice way to get into nature for a day. It's also the best time to head north and to higher altitude as we might be able to see the changes of the fall colours more here. Plus always great after a night out to sweat out the beers especially as we get rewarded with an amazing hot springs bath after our efforts. Cost is 9,000/person including transport and hot springs entrance.
Day Three: Private Walking Tour or Private Bike Tour
Kyoto is absolutely teeming with amazing places to discover on a sightseeing tour. We know the best times to visit and can plan the day so that you get a nice mix of culture, heritage and beauty. We send out a questionnaire before you arrive to get a sense of what you might enjoy and can custom plan the day for just you. We can even make changes on the day based on what you like and the pace at which we go. This season is a good one for riding a bike and Kyoto is a quite flat city, but we can do the tour on foot and either add taxis as we go or hire a private van and driver for the day too. The tour is 12,500/person and includes either bike rental or public transit fare. Taxis can be pre-paid up to 3,000/person and a private vehicle will be 30,000-42,500 per group. Get the most out of your short time in Kyoto with a fully customized private tour!

Day Four: Nara & Osaka in One Day
One of our newest tour offerings, this is a great chance to cross off the list two of the lesser visited but unique and fun cities to see in Japan. We can make for an efficient use of our time by booking reserved seats on a private rail line. We even have our lunch on the train so that we save time for seeing these two cities. We leave around midday and then see the sacred deer roaming the streets of Nara. A visit to the biggest bronze Buddha statue in the world at Todaiji and a stroll through the beautiful city and we are soon headed to Osaka for the neon nights and the street food. This is a vibrant place and a lot of fun too. Some people even elect to stay in Osaka after the tour is complete. This 8hr tour is 19,000/person including everything except food and drinks. Come see the best of two cities in just one day with Kyoto Fun.
