Things to do in Hōkan-ji Temple (Yasaka Pagoda)

This time, we chose the classic one-day tour, and I'm so glad we met our guide, Mr. Gu Wenji! 👍👍👍 He explained every attraction in great detail, allowing us to learn more about Japanese culture. Mr. Gu was truly dedicated, constantly checking on everyone's well-being, and generously shared his personal recommendations. Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your hard work throughout the day, which helped us create perfect memories. I hope we can meet Mr. Gu again on future trips! ❤️

They only focus on photography services, which made me feel that they are very professional. That’s also one of the reasons why I chose them. Before the photoshoot, if you need to wear a kimono, the photographer is also very helpful and can recommend a good kimono rental shop. After the shoot, the photographer even recommended some authentic Japanese restaurants for us. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I really enjoyed every part of it. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend bringing seniors here! Tour guide Wen-Ji also provided very professional and detailed explanations 👍🏻

​Bunon was a fabulous instructor! She taught us how to craft chopsticks from scratch with so much patience and care. Even when things got a bit chaotic with another guest who kept rushing through the steps, Bunon remained completely calm, sweet, and supportive. ​She kept us engaged the entire time with fantastic conversation—which was perfect because my partner loves to talk, and Bunon was so fun to chat with! She checked our progress at every step to ensure our chopsticks turned out beautifully. If you want a fun, authentic, and high-quality crafting experience in Japan, book this class with Bunon!

Everything was amazing, this lady was very sweet and helpful and did my hair exactly how i wanted it in under 10 minutes, also gave me advice about what hair accessories i should pick and it helped a lot cause it looked waaay better than what i wouldve picked myself. She helped us with an umbrella because it was raining and offered to take some pictures of us when we were both ready 🌸

This was a wonderful experience! Our tour guide was very thorough in explaining everything to us, and we had plenty of time. We'll definitely join again next time!

we were with Tobi, he was such an energetic young guide with a lot of information, and we really enjoyed the tour with him. We highly recommend asking for Tobi to be your tour guide whenever you book this tour.

A beautiful evening for a guided stroll through Gion. Our tour guide Daniel was very knowledgeable and efficient. The 6pm time slot was perfect, especially seeing the sunset and Lanterns come to light. It’s a magical area.
