Kyoto | Arashiyama & Kiyomizu-dera Temple & Yanagitani Kannon Temple & Colorful Yasaka Koshin-do & Starbucks Unique Concept Store Instagram-Worthy Spots Day Trip | Departure from Osaka/Kyoto

Of course! Here’s a more casual version: Min was awesome during our Kyoto day tour! He was super friendly, on time, and really made the day stress-free with his great attitude. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for a fun and smooth tour experience!

For our trip this time, Mr. Wang Ge drove us in a minibus and served as our one-day tour guide. This small group was really comfortable, and Mr. Wang Ge was also very kind. We quickly visited Yanggu Temple at the first stop. After that, he helped us save time for Arashiyama and Kiyomizudera Temple. It was really thanks to him that we were able to have a good meal in Arashiyama. We didn’t have to rush so much. Kiyomizudera Temple is also super beautiful. I took my mother because I didn’t want her schedule to be too full. It was too tiring, so it was really convenient to join the one-day tour without spending a lot of time transferring to the bus. It is highly recommended, and Mr. Wang’s car was super comfortable. We didn’t feel very tired when we finally returned to Shinsaibashi, because we were in I also had a good rest while riding in the car. It was great and I recommend it to everyone.

I had a fantastic self-guided tour to Kyoto. Amanda, our guide, dropped us off and picked us up at each location, providing a brief introduction and timing recommendations. Despite being a self-guided tour, it was easy to explore top spots like Kiyomizu-dera and Arashiyama with some Google Maps research. Highly recommended if you enjoy exploring at your own pace with convenient transportation!

Because the place I wanted to go was quite far away, after calculating the fare and time, I decided to sign up for a cost-effective one-day tour. The tour guide was professional and kind. In addition to introducing the scenic spots, he also shared with us what he saw and heard in Japan, which gave us a deeper understanding of Japanese culture. Thank you very much! ! As for the scenic spots, Yanagiya Kannon recommends spending 500 yen to visit. There were less people on that day, and the tranquil beauty of the Japanese garden complemented the lush greenery in summer. I felt very happy that day! When we arrived at Arashiyama that day, the weather was very good, and the stream under the Togetsuki Bridge was crystal clear, forming a beautiful scenery with the sky. There are many people in Kiyomizudera Temple. It is recommended that those who come to this point can visit Kiyomizudera Temple first, and then slowly visit the shopping street below in the extra time ~ I strolled in the shopping street for too long, and I didn’t have enough time to visit Kiyomizudera Temple. There is a soy sauce dumpling shop called Yuexia Meiren that you must recommend! It overturned my impression of soy sauce dumplings. There are three large and round dumplings for 290 yen. They are still warm and soft when you eat them. The salty and sweet flavors are just right. I will never forget them after I come back😭

we had hotel pick up for the tour which was great since we arrived in Osaka the evening before. we had an English translator on the tour who was able to explain the areas we were seeing- she was fantastic! it was nice to have a small group (5 people) and our guide timed our arrivals so we could spend maximum time exploring the sites!

The tour guide wasn’t communicating with us. She’s not familiar with our first destination too as we got lost looking for the entrance gate! seems like it was her first day at work?!! The destinations though were very beautiful.

this was a really nice tour. We had enough time at each location to get lost and find the tour guide again. their was a small group of us so we were all able to get comfortable in a 14 seater van.

A total of 6 of us participated. The pick-up car was a 10-seater Toyota Hiace. Only the six of us did not share the car with others. The tour guide was also the driver, basically just the driver. It was cool that the driver was Chinese, but I felt less like it. We talked and drove quickly. Liugu Guanyin is on a mountain farther away. It is more inconvenient to go by car. There were fewer people there on Friday. We only visited the main hall. The auxiliary hall is on the back mountain and feels like a spider web. I haven’t visited for a long time.

booked few days before planned trip. we are provided a van for 5 adults and 1 baby. itinerary is okay and our guide is helpful. worth it. so happy that we dont get to share with a big group.

siyu was very accommodating. i was lucky becoz my tourmates cancelled and i got my the whole bus all by myself. it was just me, the driver, and tour guide.
