Kyoto Early Morning Tour – Fushimi Inari, Arashiyama & Golden Temple

Sakura was our guide for the morning, and she was excellent. Really recommend her. Her instructions to arrive at the meeting spot for the Tour and how we should be prepared were detailed and really helpful. And from the beginning of the tour, she kept giving us great information for all the spots we visited. She has recommendations for Photo spots and took pictures of us along the way too.She was very accommodating, friendly and helpful. She’s knowledgeable and a fun person to explore the highlights of Kyoto with. Highly recommend going with her.

​If you are looking for a tour guide in Japan, look no further than Aki! She was absolutely wonderful and made our day incredibly special. Her depth of knowledge is amazing—she shared fascinating history and captivating mythology throughout the tour, answering all of our questions so well and eloquently. ​Beyond being a fantastic guide, Aki is an incredible photographer. She captured stunning shots of us throughout the day that we will cherish forever, which we highly appreciated! She was also so thoughtful and paced the tour perfectly, ensuring we had plenty of time to rest and take it all in. ​Aki is incredibly curious and kept us deeply engaged in wonderful conversations comparing life in Japan and our home country (USA). To top it all off, she gave us fabulous, personalized recommendations for local places to eat and where to buy specific items we were looking for. We highly, highly recommend taking a tour with Aki—she is a true gem!

Aya our guide was amazing! her friendly nature and knowledge made this our best day tour in Japan. She gave us interesting cultural insights and was accommodating with us as a family. I would have again for every tour if I could. the sights were also beautiful especially Fushimi Inari and the Golden pavilion.

The guide was very informative and spoke good English. The timing of the walk was fantastic, being early morning, so there were fewer crowds. We got really good pictures from those places. It was to the point. The transport was via metro and train, so it was very nice, but you need to be ready for a lot of walking. That was not an issue with us. I highly recommend this kind of tour.

Had an amazing tour in Kyoto visiting the beautiful Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, the stunning Kinkaku-ji (Golden Temple), and Fushimi Inari Taisha. Our guide Yuya made the experience even better — very fun, respectful, and knowledgeable throughout the whole day. He kept the group engaged and made everything feel smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Kyoto.

this tour was fantastic a really great way to see all the viral attractions of Kyoto in one day. our guide genki was amazing he got in touch the night before to ensure everyone knew where the meet up point was and what to do if we got stuck or lost. the whole tour was based on using the train system so if you didn’t have much of an idea how to use it this will put you in good stead. it’s an early start but truly worth it to beat the crowds later in the day. genki was very knowledgeable and insightful providing everyone with some amazing facts, content and history of every attraction. he had no problems answering questions about anything else you may have been wondering about Japanese culture in general. this tour included an afternoon break for coffee which genki took care of by booking a table in a local coffee shop another great move on his part, he was always doing little things to make sure the group was getting the most out of the tour and kept us moving along nicely he was great

incredible morning. DK our tour guide was so good. The best mix of fact telling & relax to let us each take our time at all the sights. He was so friendly & helpful. Recommend this tour , esp if you are lucky enough to have DK as your tour guide.

LJ was awesome! Very patient and accommodating guide. Explained excellently in English. 10/10 experience!

Thanks to guides Dokyung Kim and Han Jung, I was able to really thoroughly explore the main tourist attractions of Kyoto, Japan. They explained the history and culture of each attraction in detail and in an easy-to-understand manner, which made the trip feel even more meaningful. Also, they were considerate during transportation and always responded kindly, so I was able to travel comfortably without any inconvenience. Thanks to them, it was a fun and satisfying trip to Kyoto, and I would like to travel with them again if I have the opportunity. Thank you.

Soichiro was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. It was a great leisurely pace and we got to see many famous Kyoto sites. We are fans of anime and Soichiro made so many wonderful recommendations! We had a great time!
