TOUR (B)

start with the grand Nijo Castle, a sprawling, breath-taking example of comfortable luxury in Japanese nature.  
History has changed the face of this complex many times - see the footprints of each of its iconic owners, and  
walk the "chirping" nightingale floors that were so popular in construction during this building's heyday. We  then 
visit Ryoanji, famous for its UNESCO-protected World Heritage zen gardens. You may find it nostalgic, as  it has 
been featured in many movies and cited often for inspiration by creators and entrepreneurs alike. The  Zen rock 
gardens are quintessential for posters and calendars of Japan - you may even feel a sense of  nostalgia as you 
view it while sipping green tea. We then take you to Kinkakuji. The location of many films and  novels, this 
pavilion which is completely coated in gold was originally built as a summer house for a shogun. It  has become 
a symbol of luxury, beauty, and excess in literature and films throughout the ages.
