Breakfast. Transfer to the station to take the Tokyo-Kyoto bullet train, which we'll do without a guide. Early departure, taking just over two hours to travel almost five hundred kilometres between the two cities. On arrival, we'll meet up with the guide to start the visits. We'll have all day to spend in the city that was the capital of Japan from 794-1868, when the seat of the Imperial Court was located there. This was the only major Japanese city that escaped bombing in the Second World War, and has therefore retained its rich artistic heritage. What's more, the Kyoto Protocol, designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, was signed here in 1997. We'll also get to see the main sights in the city. We'll visit the wonderful Shinto shrine of Fushimi Inari, the Imperial Palace, and the Kinkakuji Temple, better known as the Golden Pavilion, with its truly magnificent gardens.
