Kyoto has a temperate climate with four distinct seasons. Spring, from March to May, is particularly appreciated for cherry blossoms (sakura) and mild temperatures, ideal for walking and visiting temples and gardens. Summer, from June to August, can be hot and humid, with the rainy season in June, but it also offers the opportunity to attend traditional festivals. Autumn, from September to November, is another favored period thanks to the red and golden foliage (koyo) and pleasant weather. Winter, from December to February, is cool but generally dry, providing a quieter atmosphere to explore the city and sometimes enjoy snowy landscapes, especially around temples and shrines. To make the most of Kyoto, spring and autumn remain the most recommended seasons, both for comfortable weather and the beauty of the scenery.

Départ conseillé

No need to worry about where to begin! Our tours are designed as a loop, so you can jump in wherever you are. The navigation system and audioguide will automatically adjust to your location. However, if you happen to be nearby, we do have a preferred starting point: in Nishiki Market

Parking à proximité

Koto Parking Parking Lot : Nakagyo Ward, 512 In Kyoto, parking options vary depending on whether you prioritize convenience, cost, or proximity to major attractions. The city has numerous public paid parking lots throughout the center, usually operated by automated machines and charged by the hour, which is convenient for short visits. Most hotels offer private parking or valet services, sometimes included in the room rate, making this a good option if you are staying several nights. For visitors who prefer to explore the historic center without worrying about parking, park-and-ride facilities combined with public transportation provide a practical alternative: you can leave your car on the outskirts and reach the center by subway, bus, or train. In addition, major train stations and shopping centers offer large parking garages, often available for full-day use at a slightly higher rate, but secure and covered, which can be suitable for longer visits. It is advisable to reserve in advance or arrive early during peak season, as parking near popular areas such as Gion or Nishiki Market fills up quickly.

À savoir

In Kyoto, it is strictly forbidden to photograph or film geiko and maiko without their consent, to touch their kimono, block their path, enter their private property, or follow them through narrow streets. The use of selfie sticks in these areas is also prohibited. Since 2019, multilingual warning signs have clearly displayed these rules, and since October 2023, behavior considered photographic harassment may result in a fine of up to 10,000 yen, approximately 70 euros, and complaints can be filed with the police.
