Overview
Give your family a real taste of traditional Japan, staying in a Machiya house, exploring Kyoto and Uji and experiencing a fascinating tea ceremony.
Machiya houses are traditional wooden townhouses found throughout Japan and typified in the historical capital of Kyoto. Perfectly convenient for families with a kitchenette, washing facilities and much more space than a hotel room.
Kyoto is well known for it's extensive traditional culture, history and art along with an abundance of the most famous shrine and temples.
Taste the amazing food of Nishiki Markets and Pontocho, discover castles and temples, cormorant fishing or go geisha spotting in Gion – Kyoto is a beautiful city with plenty for everyone to enjoy.
Our Kyoto Immersion Package includes an interesting morning tour to Uji, a small city on the outskirts of Kyoto, which is famous for its traditional tea shops and temples. It's best known attractions are the UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Byodoin Temple and Ujigami-jinja Shrine. Also of interest is the Tale of Genji Museum, dedicated to the world's first novel and, in the summer months, cormorant fishing on the Uji River.
