Marvel at the iconic vermilion torii gates as you stroll through Mount Inari’s forest. The first stop is Arashiyama. In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery of the four seasons, Arashiyama is also famous for its bamboo forest paths formed by towering green bamboos and the beautiful Togetsukyo Bridge. Then, visit Kinkakuji, once the shogun’s villa, now a Zen temple. Nara Park awaits, home to over 1,200 deer and Tōdai-ji Temple, a breathtaking World Heritage site. Conclude your tour with a return bus journey to Kyoto or Osaka, cherishing the memories of Japan’s cultural and natural wonders.

The Senbon Torii (Thousand Torii Gates) at Fushimi Inari Taisha is one of Kyoto’s most popular attractions. Thousands of vermilion torii gates line the mountain path, creating a spectacular and seemingly endless red corridor.

I had really fun on this tour and I feel like for the price that I paid, I got to do a lot of the must-sees in Japan. The tour guide, which I forgot his name 🥲, was really funny and engaging. He offered to take photos for each group and he knew how to speak English, Chinese, and Japanese. Also, I'm glad that I was able to upgrade to have a lunch even though I didn't originally buy it through Klook. I feel like if I didn't have food reserved before, I would have spent less time in one of the areas. Overall, I would definitely do this tour again in the future.

The tour was good, well-organized, and on time. We just experienced a problem at the beginning when my name was not on the list and there was some confusion while asking one of the guides about it. Thankfully, customer service was helpful and responsive when I escalated the concern. Our tour guide, Nick, was very good and made the experience enjoyable overall.

It was what I expected from the itinerary details. Went to the Nara Park where there were lots of deer. Further down the park are shrines and temple for one to explore. By accident, we were in the Himuro Shrine near Todaiji temple. It was first time for me to see a weeping cherry tree then with blossoms in full bloom! Our next stop was Kobe beef sukiyaki lunch at Kyoto Wasabi Arashimaya store. The beef was verrrry tender and melted in our mouths! our next stop was Arashimaya lush bamboo forest. refreshing sight and enjoyed the stillness of the place. The Kinkakuji Temple, even though Ive seen this twice before is still amazing! our next stop was the Inari Fushimi Shrine. we ttied to reach the top passing through the torii gates but the clumb was long it's not advisable for seniors like me. Our tour guide Myke was very accommodating and gave many information and tips about the places we went to. The drop off was no longer the original one but 15 mins away from namba station.

Perfectly timed itinerary and our guide Koji was friendly. The tour covered the must see spots in Kyoto and Nara. At Nara the itinerary only includes either deer park or giant Buddha, but if you can walk fast you can cover both. we had sufficient time for photos, snacks and souvenirs in each spot. Tenryu-ji and kimono forest weren’t covered in the itinerary although it was mentioned

The schedule is on time. The bus is spacious and clean. The driver is very good and Harry is an exceptional guide. He explains the history (plus legends & trivia) of the places and is friendly to everyone. We visited 4 places and had enough time to enjoy each stop, buy food & souvenirs. Highly recommended as a solo traveller.

the trip is memorable and cover most of the place in kyoto. The only downside for this tour as the itininery os very compact .you will need to take lunch on the go ( in the bus ) if you want to finish all the intinery . Nothing to complaint .The only negative point for this tour is the tour guide didn't have whatsapp and he didnt whatsapp us to confirm the trip . Tip: should skip the bridge and straight go to bamboo forest / skip lunch
