MK Travel, the travel division of MK Co., Ltd., which provides sightseeing taxis and hires in Kyoto, has launched a special project called 'SNS-Worthy! [Private After-Hours Access] Hydrangea Temple Yokokuji Smartphone Photography Tour,' allowing guests to experience the exclusive beauty of hydrangeas.
This tour is a one-night-only premium plan that specially rents out Yokokuji Temple during the 'Hydrangea Week' period after regular visiting hours have ended. The tour features popular influencer @macchan358 as a lecturer to teach guests how to capture professional-grade photos using only a smartphone.
For this famous temple in the Kyoto-Nishiyama area, which is difficult to access by public transportation, MK Travel proposes a special experience where guests can enjoy shooting 'miraculous hydrangea scenery with no people in the frame,' along with comfortable transport by MK Taxi.
■ 4 Premium Points of the Tour
1. Zero crowds. Shoot a miraculous shot in the silent temple grounds through 'complete private rental'.
Since the temple grounds are rented privately after closing, guests can freely shoot scenes often seen on SNS, such as 'empty hydrangea stairs' or the mystical 'Hana-Tezuya' at dusk, without worrying about other people in the frame.
2. Direct lecture by popular influencer @macchan358.
Influencer @macchan358, who communicates the beauty of Kyoto's four seasons through overwhelming visuals, will accompany the tour as a lecturer. He will teach composition tips and how to capture light using standard smartphone functions in an easy-to-understand way.
3. Complete coverage of photogenic spots such as 'Umbrella Sky' and 'Shoin'.
Guests can fully shoot and enjoy the charm of Yokokuji Temple, including the 'Umbrella Sky' that colors the sky, 'Hydrangea Tezuya,' and the superb view of blue maple leaves from the 'Shoin' (usually limited to special visitors).
4. Round-trip transport by MK Taxi. Comfortable travel on mountain roads.
Yokokuji Temple is located on a mountain in Nagaokakyo City, making it difficult to access by public transportation. This tour provides direct travel from Kyoto Station Hachijo Gate or JR Nagaokakyo Station to the site via MK Taxi.
