Fujinomori Jinja Shrine ট্যুর

Our guide, Sarah organized this tour extremely well. Her instructions were clear and she guided us to each attraction seamlessly. We had an amazing time both at Ine Bay and Amanohashidate. This tour is a must if you're in Japan!

I received my reminder and instructions the day before the tour and you are requested to join the WhatsApp group for the tour. We meet outside the Nippombashi Station Exit 2. A lot of other tour groups as gather there to London buses so make sure you arrive early enough and keep your eyes peeled for whatever marker they are wearing/carrying. For our tour we had two tour guides, Nox and Rex. They were engaging and shared stories of Japan’s history of Osaka, Amanohashidate, Ine fishing village, and Miyama. This was definitely the highlight of our trip! One tip I would like to share is, make sure you eat breakfast beforehand and also bring a few snacks in case you end up not having time to eat lunch while exploring. Plan to eat in Amanohashidate, because that’s the only place where you’ll have extended time. We opted to have our tour guides purchase tickets for the Ine sightseeing boat tour as well as the chairlift in Amanohashidate. Get the milk and milk pudding in Miyama!

Our tour guide, who could switch between Chinese, Japanese, and English, and also spoke Korean, made sure every group member was taken care of. It was a huge benefit not having to research the history and stories of each attraction ourselves. They offered pre-ordered lunch, which allowed us more time to explore Kiyomizu-dera Temple and its surroundings, and the food was quite good. The itinerary was well-paced for the limited time (however, this tour is not suitable for travelers who prefer to savor sights slowly or spend a lot of time taking photos, as the time allotted for Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine doesn't allow for walking the entire Senbon Torii path!). The tour bus was clean and tidy, and the ride was smooth and steady. I'm prone to motion sickness and usually sleep on buses, and I didn't wake up due to poor driving.

Our guide Ms Shion was amazing! She is very enthusiastic and engaging. The walk covers quite a lot at a good pace but we didn’t spot any maikos or geishas which was my main objective. I wonder if the route could be reversed so there’s a higher chance of spotting the talented artistes at the the Queen of Geisha district?

Aye was an absolutely amazing tour guide at Nijo Castle! He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many fascinating details about the castle, its history, and features that we never would have noticed on our own. I had previously visited Nijo Castle without a guide, and I can honestly say that this experience was 100% better. I learned so much and walked away with a completely new appreciation for the castle and its history. On top of being an excellent guide, Aye was incredibly thoughtful and attentive. When it started to rain during our tour, he even offered to get umbrellas for us! It was such a kind gesture and really showed how much he cares about the people on his tours. I cannot recommend Aye enough. If you’re visiting Nijo Castle in Kyoto, having him as your guide makes the experience so much more meaningful and memorable. Thank you, Aye, for such a wonderful tour!

অসাধারণ অভিজ্ঞতা! একজন গেইশা/মাইকোর সাথে দেখা করা সত্যিই বিরল এবং তার এত কাছাকাছি থেকে একটি খেলা খেলা খুব মজার ছিল।

This is Group 3 from the September 22nd tour! This was easily one of the most satisfying parts of our trip 😊 Thanks in particular to our guide, Oh Seok-bong, it felt like much more than just a sightseeing tour—we learned so much about Japan. Even during the bus rides, he kept sharing a wealth of practical information for travelers, such as Japanese culture, daily life tips, local hidden gems for dining, and shopping lists 🚌📌 Rather than the cliché information you easily find online, much of it was immediately useful on the ground, which also helped with the rest of our independent travel. I especially remember him telling us, "Don't buy your souvenirs here; go to Don Quijote instead, as these are overpriced" 😂 It was both funny and touching because it felt like he was genuinely looking out for our wallets 💸 The sightseeing itinerary and explanations were wonderful, and even after the tour ended, he told us to contact him anytime if we needed restaurant reservations. He even said that if we ever return to Japan after going back to Korea, we could reach out to him with no strings attached, and that he would help us if any issues arose during our travels, which gave us great peace of mind 🙏 It's common for relationships to end as soon as a one-day tour is over, so his continued care and support left a strong impression. We were completely satisfied with the sightseeing, the information, and the kindness, and he is a guide we would love to meet again on our next trip to Japan. We made wonderful memories thanks to guide Oh Seok-bong 😊 Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

এটি একটি দুর্দান্ত ভ্রমণ ছিল! রিওন ছিলেন আমাদের গাইড এবং তিনি অসাধারণ ছিলেন। তিনি ভালো গতিতে হেঁটেছিলেন, তার কাছে একটি ছবির বই ছিল যা দিয়ে তিনি যা বলছিলেন তার সবকিছু আমাদের দেখিয়েছিলেন এবং তিনি যে বিষয়গুলি নিয়ে কথা বলছিলেন সে সম্পর্কে অনেক কিছু জানতেন। তিনি সমস্ত প্রশ্নের উত্তর দিতে সক্ষম ছিলেন। একটি খুব উত্তেজনাপূর্ণ অংশ ছিল যে আমরা একজন প্রশিক্ষণরত গেইশা (মাইকো) কে হেঁটে যেতে দেখেছি এবং এটি সবকিছুকে জীবন্ত করে তুলেছিল। রিওন দ্রুত তাকে দেখিয়েছিলেন যাতে আমরা মুহূর্তটি মিস না করি। দুর্দান্ত ভ্রমণ, প্রচুর দারুণ তথ্য এবং হাঁটা কঠিন ছিল না। অত্যন্ত সুপারিশ করব। রাতে কিয়োটো দেখাটা অসাধারণ ছিল!

I had a great day in Kyoto! The itinerary was great and we managed to do and see so many things in one day. All of the activities were amazing and things i wanted to see and it was all really well organised and easy. I went as a solo traveller and if you’re looking for an easy day trip to Kyoto with no stress about transport and creating an itinerary then i highly recommend this tour!!! Our tour guide was great and super helpful and informative. Thank you :))
