Things to do in Uji

What I liked about this tour is that the itinerary was easy and there was enough time to spend in each of the stops. Our guide, Cool Guide Steven, was also great, gave clear instructions, spoke English well, and was cool as his monicker suggested.

I had a really memorable day thanks to our guide. We visited Nara, Uji, and Fushimi Inari, and the whole trip was smooth and comfortable from start to finish. She has a very cool and confident vibe — short hair, a relaxed style, and a calm, clear way of speaking. She can switch between Japanese, Mandarin, and English effortlessly, which made everything so easy and natural. Her explanations were simple and vivid, not boring at all, and she shared small details that made each place feel alive. I also really appreciated her respectful and open personality. She didn’t try to perform or push anything — she just let the experience breathe, which made the day feel genuine and relaxed. If you’re looking for someone who’s professional, chill, and really knows how to guide without being overbearing, I’d definitely recommend her. Great energy, great pace, great company.

Absolutely loved our Day 3 tour from Osaka to Nara & Uji! 🦌✨ Visiting Nara Park, Tōdaiji Temple, and Byōdōin Temple was breathtaking — the temples are stunning, and the deer in Nara Park are so adorable and friendly. 🏯💛 The Uji matcha food tour was a highlight — every treat was delicious, and the matcha desserts were unforgettable! 🍵💚 The day was perfectly balanced with sightseeing, culture, and foodie adventures. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a mix of history, nature, and yummy Japanese treats — we had so much fun and made memories to last a lifetime! 🌟

I really enjoyed this day trip. Locke was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable, friendly, and great at keeping the group organized. He shared clear explanations in both English and Chinese and always made sure everyone knew where to go next. He also helped take photos at each spot, which was a nice bonus. Overall, a great experience, and I’d happily recommend him to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Our tour guide Ms Vivi is friendly and helpful . She give us google map of the places to visit at the itinerary place,and when we are lost ,give us google map to assist us to get to our bus. She even lent me her power bank to charge my hp. Highly recommend of her excellent service .

Our multingual tour guide Min was very helpful. He sent links to the best places to get food and snacks. Pro Tip: Take a photo of your bus. I recommend pinning the location of the parking lots each time you stop. We got lost in Nara Deer Park and had to practically ran back up.

almost like a private self guided tour since there were only 7 of us. We were picked up at Kyoto Station BUT did not notice that only the passengers from Osaka were brought back to Osaka. We had to take the train back to Kyoto.

It was a great experience indeed! The driver was so kind, hospitable and accomodating. He really lead us on our way carefully and as well as going back on our home. We highly recommend him to others. Hoping our next trip with him.Awesome!!
