Kyoto Architectural Secrets Led by an Architect PRIVATE Tour
TICKET PRICES STARTING FROM
Taxes and fees will be calculated at checkout
Overview
This private tour is not for the casual observer—it’s an immersive exploration of architecture, philosophy, design, and the psychology of local life. If these subjects don’t intrigue you, this tour is not for you. Away from the fleeting highlights of TikTok—which I personally dislike—this private tour is designed for the opposite: depth. Rather than simply announcing Googled facts like many guides, I aim to unveil the essence of Japan that curious travelers are truly seeking. The soul of the country is revealed through well-known sights, with discussions and debates as we peel back Japan layer by layer. [ Warning ] If you’re not into architecture, design, philosophy, or psychology, this tour isn’t for you. [ Notice ] This tour is completely private, meaning it will be only the travelers in your booking—no one else will join. [ Guarantee ] If the tour doesn’t meet your expectations, you can receive a full refund—through Viator, TripAdvisor, or directly from the guide himself.
