The city of Kyoto has always been on the top of my list as it claims to have 1600 different Buddhist shrines. For that reason, I chose to take a full day English speaking tour of the city of Kyoto. Kyoto is about 30 minutes by train from Osaka, separated by a small mountain range (we'd call them hills). By using Sunrise Tours, all my subway and train travel from Osaka to Kyoto then onto the tour, and back again, were perfectly handled and I was able to relax and enjoy a great day sightseeing.
