Highlights

Want to experience Kyoto's hidden gems? Kibune is truly a hidden gem, with its rich nature and history dating back more than 1,300 years. There is just one problem. Transportation.


Taking the train or bus is very cumbersome and time-consuming.
That is why our service offers a shuttle service between Kyoto station and Kifune. Our purpose is to offer you an affordable and convenient way and take you to the hidden gem, Kifune!


In addition, Kifune in summer is special.
You can experience a traditional Japanese tradition called kawadoko (riverbeds). Kawadoko" is a tatami mat laid on the side of the river flowing through Kibune, and visitors can dine on the mats on the river. Kawadoko is a traditional culture rarely seen anywhere else in the world, and why not try to experience this!
