HELICOPTER TOUR

Kyoto is one of the world's most beautiful cities, famous for its temples, shrines, and changing seasons. There is no better way to experience the beauty of Kyoto than from the air. We offer helicopter tours all year round. However, the best views are during the cherry blossom season, the turning of the leaves in autumn and during the winter months where the landscapes are covered with snow and ice. The tour covers all the major sites in the greater Kyoto area. Get the best scenic view of the thousand-year capital from the air. Your photos will be amazing!
Kosuke Tours are pleased to offer this exciting and unique experience.


NARA TOUR

Nara is one of Japan's most rewarding destinations. With eight Unesco World Heritage Sites and well preserved temples and shrines many people visit Japan's first permanent capital as a side trip from Kyoto. The city is quite compact making it a worthwhile day trip. Nara is home to many important scenic and historical sites and is famous for the nearly 1200 wild deer roaming freely. The deer are protected 'national treasures'. Kosuke Tours is proud to offer transportation and a walking tour of this great little gem!


TEA CEREMONY

The Japanese tea ceremony called the “Way of Tea” is a quintessential Japanese experience.
The earliest tea ceremony came to Japan in the 6th century as a significant part of Buddhist meditation. The first documented tea in Japan dates back to the 9th century when a Buddhist monk, Eichu brought tea back from China. It wasn’t until the end of the 12th century when another monk, Eisai, introduced powdered green tea, whisks and tencha (tea preparation) to Japan. It was during this time that matcha really took off.
Matcha is served with traditional Japanese sweets to balance the bitter taste of the tea. The whole process is not about drinking tea, but is about aesthetics, preparing a bowl of tea from one's heart. The host of the ceremony always considers the guests with every movement and gesture. The tea ceremony is still highly influenced by the principles of Zen Buddhism.
Tea gatherings are classified as chaji or chakai. A chakai is a short ceremony that includes thin tea, confections, and a light meal. A chaji is a formal ceremony that includes a full course kaiseki meal followed by confections, thick tea, and then thin tea. A chaji ceremonial gathering lasts for at least four hours.
Kosuke Tours is pleased to offer both the short and long ceremonies.
