Things to do in Adashino Nenbutsuji Temple

We had a great experience with our guide. Liao was very attentive, friendly, and always made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the tour. He explained everything clearly, answered all our questions with a smile,l. We highly recommend him. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable!

The day before, you'll receive a text message with the meeting point and time. Just arrive on time, and you'll be ready for a pleasant departure. Since it was a combined tour, our guide, Yurika, first introduced everything in English and then explained it in Chinese, which was very thoughtful. At each stop, she clearly announced the meeting time and location, and overall, we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves.

If you're taking the Sagano Romantic Train and then the Hozugawa River Boat Ride, it's best to allow an hour and a half between them. For example, if your train arrives at 11:00 AM, book the 12:30 PM boat ride. After getting off the train, there will be signs directing you through a tunnel to the bus stop. The bus will make a brief stop and then go directly to the Hozugawa River Boat Ride building. There's a small shop where you can buy snacks and drinks; definitely buy something to drink, as the boat shop won't appear for about an hour and a half after you board. The boatman on our trip was very entertaining, likely a veteran, and interacted well with the passengers. When we encountered rapids, he would playfully warn passengers about a little splashing. You won't get completely soaked, as there are tarps for cover. Throughout the journey, the boatman spoke a mix of Japanese and short English phrases, and also used gestures to point out the local wildlife. The boat ride is spectacular and highly recommended.

we had a very fun time making the chopsticks. the instructors were so nice and helpfull . we had a great conversation while making the chopsticks. recomanded ifcyou are in the area, just stop by and join a workshop.

It's convenient to get there by JR train or bus. There are many interesting activities at each point inside, and street performances happen periodically. There are several photo zones. Overall, I was impressed with the place. Plus, by booking through Klook, you can scan the QR code for direct entry, without needing to exchange a voucher at the counter again.

This was one of our favorite experiences in Arashiyama. Watching the molten metal being poured into the mold was really exciting, and making our own shuriken was much more fun than we expected. The staff were friendly, patient, and explained everything in English, so we never felt lost. Taking home something we made ourselves made the experience even more special. If you're looking for a unique ninja experience in Kyoto, I highly recommend this place.

Yuki was great. It was a wonderful experience. I learned a lot about knife sharpening and the different techniques. I also got to take the sharpened knife with me, which was fantastic. I can only recommend it!

Very fun and informative experience, the staff is friendly and helpful. The host is charismatic and the experience of watching a live sumo show is priceless!! Recommended!! By the way they include drinks so you can enjoy the show and not worry about those yourself

We had such a great day on this tour! It was a perfect way to see so many beautiful places around Kyoto and Nara in one day without having to worry about transportation or planning everything ourselves. The itinerary was well organized, and we really enjoyed every stop, especially Nara, Fushimi Inari, and Arashiyama. A special mention has to go to our guide, Frederick, who made the whole experience even better. He was extremely funny, friendly, energetic, and kept us entertained throughout the day. He explained everything clearly, gave us useful information and recommendations, and created a really fun and relaxed atmosphere for the whole group. We had enough time to enjoy the different locations, take photos, walk around, and experience each place. Overall, it was a really enjoyable and memorable day and definitely one of the highlights of our time in Kyoto. We would absolutely recommend this tour — and if you get Frederick as your guide, even better! 😊
