What to expect
- Depart from Osaka/Kyoto in the morning
- Arrive at the Kiyomizu Temple area. After the tour guide explains, everyone can move around freely. Recommended: Kiyomizudera Temple/Nissanzanzaka/Ishibekoji/Gion·Hanamikoji/Yasaka Shrine
- Afterwards, go to the tea ceremony experience. After the experience, I suggest you walk out of the matcha shop and come to Heian Shrine to check in at the largest torii gate in Japan.
- Higashitenno Okazaki Shrine - the super cute check-in rabbit shrine. There are many rabbit statues in the shrine. The rabbit located in the hand water house is made of black granite and is commonly known as "Qiuzi Rabbit". Its movements express the appearance of facing the moon and full of power in the body. It is said that if you pour water on a baby rabbit and then touch its belly, you will be blessed with a baby and a safe and smooth delivery.
- Finally, go to Kinkakuji Temple. Luyuanji Temple is a famous Zen temple with a history of hundreds of years. Now it is better known as "Kinkakuji Temple". This name comes from the famous Golden Pavilion (Relic Hall), which is the core building of the temple. . This three-story pavilion covered in gold leaf is one of the most famous and recognizable of all historical buildings in Kyoto.
- You can get off at the meeting point in Kyoto and return to Osaka.













Reviews
nice places and great experience. it was good that they pick us app from hotel we wore with small group. I wished the tour guide could give us more information about different places and some history.
driver picked up from hotel on time, met up with our tour guide in Kyoto who was very pleasant and informative of the places we visited
the tour was excellent. the tour guide is very professional. we really enjoyed the tour. we visited the temples and participated in the Matcha tour.
I hope you can add more itineraries so that it is really convenient to travel. I will consider hotel pick-up and drop-off next time. The weather is very cold these days. It is so comfortable to just get on the bus and sleep at a fixed point😌
We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Kumo who has given us a great service and taking care of us on our trip. It was a great Japan experience as we get to try out Matcha Making and walking around in the kimono. We had the kimono experience in Kiyomizu-dera and it’s a picturesque spot with all the ancient looking shops and temples. Highly recommended. 3 hours in Kiyomizu dera is definitely more than enough to take photos in the random alleyway or shrines on the top of a hill. You also get a nice view of Kyoto from the shrine.
Our tour guide Koma looked after us as we are the only 2 persons in the group who cannot understand chinese. Koma translated what the chinese tour guide was saying. She was very accomodating. Thank you Koma.
I think there is enough time to take photos and experience it again next time I have the opportunity.
There were no clear instructions for availing the rental kimono. Although the driver is nice and accommodating, we still had a good time going to the different places. But I would not recommend this tour for first-timers in Kyoto.
The tour guide and driver kept looking at the navigation system along the way and asked questions without knowing anything. He also asked us to walk from Yasaka Shrine to Kiyomizudera Temple. It was a very long walk. It took at least half an hour to walk from the shrine to Kiyomizudera Temple! We also had a one-year-old child with a stroller, and the tour guide didn’t understand the arrangement at all. It was very shocking!
Before I left, I saw that the light showed green that day, indicating that I was awake, and then the cancellation was notified in the evening the day before departure. I didn’t see the letter until nearly 11 o’clock, and there was no text message notification, because I would not read the letter all the time when I was out for fun, and At that time, I already thought that the trip was going to happen, so I didn’t realize there was a problem. At that time, I couldn’t arrange the group’s itinerary. I felt really bad.
