Arashiyama tours

We had an amazing experience on our Kyoto and Nara day tour! The itinerary was simple and allowed us to focus on the sights we really wanted to see. A special shoutout to our tour guide, Sophia, who made the day truly memorable. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, providing excellent service in helping us experience wearing a kimono and walking around in it comfortably. Her guidance made navigating both cities easy and enjoyable. The tour allowed us to experience the beauty of Kyoto’s temples and the charm of Nara’s parks, including the famous deer. Overall, it was a smooth, informative, and fun day — highly recommend this tour, especially if you want a knowledgeable and friendly guide like Sophia!🫶🏽

This was a truly wonderful trip, especially great for friends who love natural scenery and landscapes (best to visit in spring and autumn for cherry blossoms and autumn leaves). The journey started with a scenic train ride overlooking the Hozugawa River from above, followed by a relaxing boat ride back to Arashiyama – a truly fulfilling experience. The Hozugawa River boat ride is powered entirely by boatmen hand-rowing the boat for an hour and a half. You can tell it's hard work, but they're all very enthusiastic and try their best to create a lively atmosphere. They kept sharing interesting stories along the way and even tried their best to communicate in English and Chinese when they realized we didn't understand Japanese. Although it was simple, we were all able to understand and had a great time. The free time in Arashiyama was also very enjoyable. We visited the dry landscape garden of Tenryu-ji Temple, bought many souvenirs, and enjoyed delicious snacks along the way. Finally, I would like to thank our tour guide, HuaHua. Seeing that I was traveling alone, he took extra care of me and was very responsible. He provided us with detailed explanations of various matters throughout the trip, communicated clearly, and connected with each person. He was very responsible, and even sang us a song on the way back, haha. Thanks to him, I found this trip very relaxing. I hope to see you again next time! If I have the opportunity to come to Japan again, I think I will definitely visit Arashiyama again!

Although there was no guide on that day . we still agreed to do this trip.Our chinese driver took a great care of us. My husband could under little lit chinese so it was fine and other people in our van also explained well to us. we had greattt time. although it was raining but all the places were soooo beautiful and aesthetically pleasing to our eyes. i would love. to go back again and spend a day in these places.

great full day our guide Frederick was very nice and informative kept the bus on time to each venue, we would have liked more time at the Tori gates we had 80 minutes but as it was very busy we didn’t have enough time to explore the shopping. loved feeding the deers a very enjoyable and unique experience.

Amy was out guide and was wonderful! she explained everything and answered all our questions. she was kind and considerate to our needs and was flexible. she was also genuinely caring obout our experience and sharing the Japanese culture and traditions was a joy for her. highly recommend

The Kyoto and Nara tour is a great way to experience Japan’s culture, history, and natural beauty in one day. In Kyoto, we explored beautiful temples and strolled through the famous Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. In Nara, we saw friendly deer and visited the impressive Todai-ji Temple. Our tour guide NICK was energetic and full of positive vibes!there wasn’t a single dull moment throughout the entire trip. It was a well-organized and memorable experience, perfect for first-time visitors.

The guide got his stories from the locals and retold them to us very well. His humor was great, and the way he brought the stories to us was also very good.

Highly recommended! You can visit three must-see Kyoto attractions in one day.
