Kyoto Audio Guide step-by-step

A self-guided, fully offline audio walking tour through eight of Kyoto's most evocative places — Fushimi Inari Taisha, Nijō Castle, Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji, the Gion district, Nishiki Market, and the Arashiyama bamboo grove. Each guide is broken into short, location-aware segments. The narration plays for a few minutes, then pauses — giving you time to walk, look, and arrive at the next spot at your own pace. When you're ready, you press play again. What you get • Eight curated walking guides • Pause-between-segments pacing so you walk, not rush • Background playback — lock your phone, audio keeps going • Lock-screen and Control Center controls (play, pause, skip 5s, scrub) • 2× speed with pitch correction for replays • Built-in "Open in Maps" links to the exact starting point of each tour • No accounts, no tracking, no network calls — everything works offline once installed For travelers who'd rather know what they're standing in front of than just photograph it Voice rendering by natural-sounding AI text-to-speech.
