Popular Kyoto tours for repeat visitors
What this list covers: day trips out of the city, cooking classes and sake tastings, for a second or third visit that goes beyond the main sights.

Ranked by number of reviews on Viator as of 28 Oct 2026
This grouping is this site's, not a Viator category. The list pools the first 50 products in Viator's default order for each of: the “Day Trips” tag, the “Cooking Classes” tag, the “Sake Tasting” tag in Kyoto (147 distinct products), ranked by review count.
“Popular” on this page means the number of reviews Viator shows for the product (Viator's combined count of reviews left on Viator and Tripadvisor); when two products have the same count, the higher rating comes first. It is not a recommendation by Japan Trip Math. Prices are Viator's lowest “from” price in US dollars on the fetch date; the price for your date, group size and option can be higher. Check the current price and the cancellation terms on viator.com before you pay.
