Let’s take a look at a typical itinerary for this Kyoto’s Halal Tour: Visiting Kiyomizu-dera TempleA deservedly popular attraction, Kiyomizu-dera Temple’s main hall has a large veranda, supported by tall pillars, that juts out over the hillside and offers impressive views of the city. Beneath the main hall is the Otowa Waterfall, where three streams of water fall into a pond. Visitors can catch and drink the water by holding out little tin cups. Each stream's water is believed to have different wish-granting power, namely Longevity, Wisdom and a Fortunate Love Life. However, drinking from all three streams is considered greedy. Kiyomizu-dera Temple was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1994. You are going to spend an hour here. Visiting Sanjusangendo TempleSanjusangendo temple is known for its 1001 statues of Kannon, the goddess of mercy. Sanjusangen-do is most famous for its 120 meters long main hall which is Japan’s longest wooden structure. The name Sanjusangendo "33 intervals" derives from the number of intervals between the building's support columns. The temple also houses a collection of sculptures including 28 standing attendants, a statue of Fujin and a statue of Raijin, and the principal image of the temple, a big seated statue of Thousand-armed Kannon, which all of them are designated National Treasures. You will spend about 40 minutes time here. Visiting Fushimi Inari Taisha ShrineFushimi Inari Shrine sits at the base of a mountain also named Inari and stretching 230 meters up the hill behind it are hundreds of bright red Torii "Gates". The entrance to the hiking trail is located at the back of the shrine’s main grounds. The beginning of the parallel trails is covered by two densely packed rows of gates called the Senbon Torii "thousands of torii". Fushimi Inari Shrine’s long tunnels of vermilion torii gates are the main attraction for overseas tourists, many of whom see them as typically Japanese. You will be here for a little more than an hour. On the way to Arashiyama you will be passing by the Toji Temple where you would see a five-story pagoda standing 55 meter high, which is the tallest wooden tower in Japan. You will take lunch break in Arashiyama and after the lunch your Kyoto Halal tour continues through the Bamboo Forest trail towards Tenryuji Temple. The lunch break is about an hour or so. The Bamboo Forest stop lasts about 30 minutes. It is a pleasant place to be and the time is very short. Keep your camera close. Visiting Tenryuji TempleTenryu-ji a sprawling Zen temple with wonderful mountain views is one of the Kyoto's Unesco World Heritage Sites as well as the most important temple in Arashiyama district.

The garden, created by Muso Soseki who also designed the garden of Kokedera, features a circular promenade around Sogen Pond. It is designated as one of the Special Places of Scenic Beauty of Japan. Muso Soseki also served as Tenryuji's first head priest. You will stay here for about 30 minutes. Visiting Kinkakuji TempleKinkaku-ji "Golden Pavilion" is a Zen Buddhist Temple and the most popular tourist attraction in Kyoto. The name Kinkaku is derived from the gold leaf that the top two floors of the pavilion are covered in. It is gilded with 20kg gold leaf.
