Kyoto, Japan - Cruise Shore Excursion from Osaka or Kobe

If your cruise ship docks in Osaka or Kobe, you might want to spend a day in Kyoto, Japan. Kyoto has over 1600 Buddhist temples, 200 Shinto shrines, and 3 imperial palaces, so it's easy to see why Kyoto is often called Japan's spiritual capital.

Our full day tour of Kyoto from the Seven Seas Voyager included guided visits to three of Kyoto's most important sites -- Kiyomizu Temple, Nijo-jo Castle, and the Temple of the Golden Pavilion. Each of these historical sites was interesting and provided a closer look at the culture of the Japanese people.
