Start your adventure at the Yasaka Shrine, an iconic spot that introduces you to Kyoto's rich spiritual heritage. Your expert will explain the importance  and history of the shrine in a way that will appeal to the youngest and oldest of travelers. From there, you'll stroll through the lush greenery of Maruyama Park. Small explorers will marvel at Chion-in’s Gate, one of the largest temple gates in Japan, an impressive site no matter your age. 

Continue your exploration with a walk past local school campuses, like Kacho Girls’ High School or Kyoto Kacho University, giving your child a glimpse into what it is like to attend school in Japan. Afterward, visit Okazaki Park and the striking Heian Shrine with its giant torii gate, a symbol that will remain in your child’s memory long after the end of your tour. The exploration of nature continues at Shoren-in Temple, where towering camphor trees—over 800 years old—offer a peaceful setting for reflection.

During your visit, you’ll stop for some traditional Japanese treats that are sure to delight young taste buds and may have your kids asking to taste other adventurous sweets later on in your trip. By the end of your visit, you and your family will have experienced many of the wonders Kyoto has to offer and instilled a sense of exploration in your small traveler that will be sure to foster ongoing enthusiasm throughout your travels.
