Walking Bus Guide (Nishioji Street - Kinkaku-ji to Hirano Shrine)

An afternoon walk along Nishioji Street, from Kinkaku-ji to Hirano Shrine.

Leaving the crowds around Kinkaku-ji behind, the route passes Wara Tenjin before reaching Hirano Shrine. There is no bus to board. Instead, Aihana guides you through Kyoto as you walk together.

As each imaginary stop approaches, a gentle "ping-pong" signals the way. Warm acoustic sounds capture not only the landmarks, but also the everyday scenery of Kyoto and the simple pleasure of taking an unhurried afternoon walk.
