Luxury in Kyoto mostly means two things: a comfortable private vehicle, and access you can’t book alone, like a tea ceremony with a maiko. The premium kimono rentals use silk rather than the usual polyester, and you’ll feel the difference.
Discover Kyoto with a customizable private tour featuring a guide and luxury vehicle. See top sights and hidden gems at your own pace for an authentic experience.
