Reviews
Tour guide: The tour guide was very experienced and took great care of us non-Japanese tourists! Itinerary arrangement: Great, we saw the Kiyomizu-dera Temple sunset at the best time.
Our English-speaking guide, Kazu-san, was very enthusiastic and professional. He introduced two secret spots in Kiyomizu-dera Temple, adding depth to the tour. I highly recommend taking the English-speaking guide tour for a more authentic Japanese day trip experience.
It was a great and well-crafted itinerary. Due to heavy traffic jams our time per attraction was cut short but regardless it was still amazing to see Kyoto and surely want to see it again. Our guide made sure we are able to follow our itinerary perfectly, set the time in a way we are guided as we go through each spot together. Truly grateful for the efforts of our guide and our driver giving us a smooth travel.
Our Sagano train ride was such a nice and memorable experience! 🚂 Special thanks to our tour guide Kazu 🥰 who really took good care of us the entire trip. He made sure all our needs were attended to, recommended the best things to do, and even showed us the perfect spots for taking pictures. 📸Truly a smooth and enjoyable journey — highly recommended! 💯
The itinerary was arranged smoothly, even if I didn't understand Japanese. The tour guide also communicated in English. It made the day of the tour go smoothly.
It was a long and rainy day but definitely worth it. our tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and ensured we all kept with pace and meeting times. The activities were worth the price. Wear comfortable shoes you will do lots of walking and steps but that’s Japan in general. the buffet lunch option was nice. It was traditional Kyoto based items. I highly recommend Limon company.
My family and I had a wonderful time joining this tour especially with the excellent service provided by our tour guide; Ms Winnie. She has a very nice and humble personalities and always showing her concern and care for all of us.
Masa was an amazing tour guide!! from beginning to end he really made sure to make our trip amazing and so worthwhile. he explained all the steps of the day trip, gave a great map with instructions and led us through a VERY busy Kyoto with class and respect for all. the three locations were perfect - even during peak bloom on a very busy Saturday. the lunch was great and the bus and trips were more than manageable. pro tips: bring cash to stop at places along the way at each location, a charger plug is on the bus so that can charge your devices and HAVE FUN!
Amazing day! Guide was friendly and informative. Attractions were very crowded so very surprised we got through the whole itinerary. There is no way we would have got so much done in one day by ourselves.

Transportation 2 Scenery 3. Save time -the Tour and location is not easily to access bu transpo- it take to 40 minutes Each location so you need private bus the advange of this tour is you just lessen the hassle to locate tje tourist spot-
Good to know
- Wear Comfortable Shoes for a Scenic Walk: Sagano is best explored on foot. Wear comfortable shoes for walking as you explore the area’s scenic paths, from the bamboo groves to the hillside temples. The walk through the natural landscape is one of the most rewarding parts of the tour.
- Kiyomizu-dera is partially under construction, so some sights may not be fully visible.
