What to expect
[Arashiyama]
A scenic spot beloved by Kyoto locals for its elegance, Arashiyama has been a place for imperial nobles to enjoy scenery and recreation since the Heian period. Renowned since ancient times for its picturesque seasonal landscapes and Zen-inspired ancient temples, it is one of Kyoto’s top cherry blossom and autumn foliage viewing spots, attracting a continuous stream of visitors throughout the year and enjoying high recognition both domestically and internationally. The Sagano Bamboo Forest Path within the area offers a highly therapeutic atmosphere, with towering green bamboo intertwining to form a natural green tunnel, where light and shadow are quiet and serene. Coupled with the panoramic view of the landmark Togetsukyo Bridge and its surrounding landscape, it is a classic sight that visitors must check in at and eagerly photograph.
[Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine]
One of the shrines deeply cherished by the people of Kyoto, it enshrines the god Inari Okami (OINARISANN). Since ancient times, it has primarily overseen bountiful harvests and business prosperity. During the three days of New Year’s Day for Hatsumode (first shrine visit of the year), millions of people visit. It is very famous not only in Kyoto but also nationwide. The Senbon Torii (thousand torii gates) within the shrine grounds are even more impressive, prompting visiting tourists to take photos.
[Nara Park]
Nara Park is an urban park located at the foot of Mount Wakakusa in Nara City. Famous historical sites of Nara such as Todai-ji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine are all located here, making it a must-visit spot when touring Nara. Mount Wakakusa, near the park, is an excellent place to overlook the scenery of Nara. It also has the most concentrated deer population, and feeding the adorable deer is the biggest attraction for visitors. The deer here are also very spiritual; they will actively approach visitors who have deer crackers in their hands, so be careful not to be knocked down by a group of deer!

Just enough time at each stop and you get to travel freely at each stop. this is exactly what we were looking for... easy transportation between thr key locations that allow you to see the main tourist spots...Kyoto Village areas including Gion Geisha Village area which was really cool to see old machiya styles homes, the famous Fushimi Inari shrine, and ending with a visit to see the bowing deers of Nara.
The experience was very good. The guide didn't speak English very well and used a translator to give us the information. We would have liked to learn a bit more about the places from the guide.
We were 8 people in total. my family and my friend's family. We were happy to know that our veihicle is a van. It felt like we are on a private tour, though there were 4 other tourists with us. The driver is neat, kindand polite. He's ttanslating his chinese language to English via app before we roam around, and sends a follow-up message so we won't forget. Overall, it was worth the price, though we didn''t really go around to explore the place because we have 4 seniors with us, my parents and his parents.
This was my first day trip by bus tour, and I was more satisfied than I imagined! The guide's explanations were fun during the trip, and there was also free time at the destination, making it a well-paced trip. The food was delicious and the scenery was amazing. I didn't have to drive myself, so I could relax and enjoy myself with peace of mind. I would love to participate again!
Despite the hot weather, our guide was very patient in leading us and providing detailed explanations. Throughout the trip, he also shared many helpful tips, telling us about various tourist attractions and related cuisines. He was a very enthusiastic guide, and I hope to have him lead us again on future group tours. Thank you for a pleasant day! The only downside, in my opinion, was the hot weather.
Good value but this is a shared taxi service, not a 'tour'. You are given lots of time at each spot - the first one is 3 hours, it sounds like a lot but was just enough. communication before and during the trip was good.
we got mixed up with a chinese group and there was actually no guide. the driver is always saying something before we arrive on our destination but unfortunately it was all said in chinese and that became quite problematic at first but then i approached the driver once in the area and he politely explained in english to his best when and where the pick up point will be.
driver is very patient and wait d for us when we struggle going to meeting place, also offer to bring us to our hotel back after the tour and but we chose to be drop to dotonbori.
the weather was excellent on that day. we have enough time to enjoy each views and love this journey.
Suitable for people who don't need to spend time making a travel guide, come here to take a quick look, not suitable for in-depth travel. It is best to have a WeChat account so that you can communicate with the tour guide and driver. It is best not to use Line! If you come to play, be sure to join the group ^ _ ^@@
