If you want to avoid the crowds and immerse yourself in the tranquil and serene atmosphere of the ancient capital, nighttime is the best time to explore. Under the moonlight, Kyoto’s townscape, cherry blossoms and autumn leaves may look like out of a dream, offering a different view from the daytime.
We also recommend enjoying art and cultural entertainment. For example, some noh and kyogen theater performances are designed to be enjoyable even for first-time audience. We will introduce you to a wide variety of culture and arts in Kyoto accessible to people of all ages and nationalities.
