Kyoto Kiyomizu-dera Temple Tour + Sushi & Mochi Making Experience

A Full Day in Kyoto: See, Taste, and Create

This tour is an all-in-one package that lasts about 6 hours, from meeting your dedicated guide at Kyoto Station in the morning to visiting Kiyomizu-dera Temple → making sushi & lunch → making mochi & wagashi desserts. It's a course focused on a five-sense experience where you don't just pass through Kyoto, but directly make, touch, taste, and smell.

After meeting your dedicated guide at Kyoto Station in the morning and taking in the scenery and atmosphere of Kiyomizu-dera Temple with your eyes and ears, it's time to get your hands busy. After gripping the sushi rice, topping it with the neta, and enjoying lunch with the last piece of sushi you made, you'll feel the texture and sweet aroma all over your body as you make your own chewy mochi and delicate wagashi. Since all the schedules are centered around hands-on experiences, it will be more memorable and satisfying than a tour that just looks around. We recommend it as a hands-on tour perfect for travelers who want to experience Kyoto not just through photos, but through their fingertips, mouths, noses, and senses of touch.
