Things to do in Arashiyama Bamboo Forest

The tour itself was amazing and it went at such a great pace for all ages. Katherine, our lovely tour guide helped give lots of great info about the temples and shrines around Kyoto. She did a great job, Would definitely highly recommend !

This boat ride down the Hozugawa River is a must do whilst in Kyoto. We took the Sagano Romantic Train (25 minutes) to Kameoka Station where we boarded our River Boat for the 2 hour trip down stream. It was fantastic and a great experience. When we arrived at our destination, we were met by 'food boats' who sold us yummy, freshly cooked treats and drinks that we bought whilst still in our boat. A great experience - highly recommended.

we enjoyed the tour very much, 1st time upclose experience with deer at Nara park, the bamboo forest is amazing and the shrine gates are very vibrant . we were expecting a large group of tourists but we were only 8 in our bus so it is very manageable. our tour guide Akira is also very friendly and helpful. this tour is highly recommended! 😍

We had such a wonderful time visiting the Nara Deer Park, Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and the iconic Torii gates! Maxine was pleasant, knowledgeable, and did an excellent job. The bus was punctual, and the entire experience was well organized. I highly recommend this tour for its excellent value, sightseeing, and overall experience. Truly money well spent! Thank you, Maxine, for making it such a memorable day!

Sophia was an amazing tour guide! Her English was excellent, and she made sure everyone felt included, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout the trip. She was full of energy, fun, and enthusiasm, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The itinerary was very well organized, with plenty of useful recommendations, clear instructions, and thoughtful arrangements at every stop. You can really tell that she cares about her guests and loves what she does. She made exploring Kyoto, Nara, and Arashiyama such a wonderful experience. Highly recommend Sophia as a tour guide! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Waited in front of Osaka Vip lounge at 8:20am on Wednesday, November 4th, 2026 for our bus meet up/pick up. At 8:20am, our tour guide : Nick was awesome, energetic and very funny! He was very entertaining to listen to his stories about the history of Osaka, sharing about his personal experiences, teaching us how to speak basic Japanese and whisk matcha and speaking both in English & mandarin nonstop to us. At 9:30am, we arrived to Katsuoji temple & stayed until 11am. We ate lunch at restaurant:京都わさび 嵐山店 & did matcha whisking and explored Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. I enjoyed exploring Hōkan-ji Temple (Yasaka Pagoda) It was very nice to end the day and go shopping around the stores. We got dropped off to Osaka VIP Villa Namba at 7pm and had a eventful day & ate at the restaurant for dinner that Nick recommended and was so tasty! Thank you so much Nick for hosting us and thank you so much to the driver for driving us safely and timely to our destinations.

Every stop was such a memorable experience. A HUGE special shoutout to our amazing tour guide, Zoey! 🥹❤️ She was absolutely incredible! So friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone had the best experience possible.

We had a wonderful tour with the highlight being Katsuoji Temple closely followed by Nara Park. Our tour guide, Jackie provided was very informative and nice.

Well organised tour with Jason our Taiwanese tour guide. we have managed to catch a glimpse of beautiful Kyoto and had enough time to stop for a great sushi lunch.
