Chion-in Temple tours

Itsuki was an excellent guide who provided us with a wealth of information about Geisha culture and history. We learned a lot during the tour, and she also offered great recommendations for other activities to enjoy while in Kyoto. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Geisha culture and the history of Gion.

Had a great time exploring Lake Biwa! I was the only non-Chinese speaker in the group, but our guide made sure I was included the whole time—translating key info and checking in with me throughout the tour. I forgot her name, but she was incredibly helpful and friendly. All the stops were beautiful—I loved every place we visited!

During the 7-day 6-night free travel, I specially arranged a day to sign up for a group tour in Kyoto. The main attractions this time were Kinkakuji Temple, Kiyomizu Temple and Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. The overall itinerary was all the attractions I really wanted to visit. I was super nervous before departure, after all, it was my first time traveling in this way, and I wanted to participate selfishly, but in fact I really felt great. The entire time control and itinerary arrangement were all very appropriate. I would like to thank our tour guide Xiao Fu (Alvin) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. During the trip, he explained the history of the attractions in Chinese and English, and shared many recommended restaurants, allowing us to use time quickly and accurately, and he would also remind everyone in the group of the meeting time and place in a timely manner. Our group had a large number of people and we took the bus, but Xiao Fu still cared about everyone's situation, whether there was anything they wanted to eat, etc. He was always willing to help. Especially when my son fell and injured both knees, Xiao Fu immediately went to buy disinfectant and dressings for us. I am really grateful, otherwise we might not be able to have fun. The child felt embarrassed afterwards and wanted to thank this big brother. We returned to Osaka at nearly 6 o'clock and had plenty of time to go shopping. After returning home, everyone felt that they had a fulfilling and happy day.

Kyoto Sanzen-in and Rurikoin Temple are truly worth the trip. It's a complete ocean of green, adding a touch of coolness to the hot summer. Kifune Shrine is like "living in a fairyland, without the noise of carriages and horses"... with cool flowing water beneath your feet, enjoy the comfort. Every moment carries the coolness of the mountains, even the breeze is filled with the sweetness of the stream. Very good, I am very satisfied, thank you to the guide for the enthusiastic service~

The itinerary was absolutely fantastic! We started in Nara, where the deer-feeding experience was delightful, and the deer were incredibly cute. On the bus, our tour guide, Willa, patiently explained the precautions we needed to take when feeding the deer, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience. Next, we headed to Arashiyama for a relaxing lunch and strolled around, admiring the beauty of the bamboo forest, which was incredibly relaxing. A particularly pleasant surprise was finding Rilakkuma, Miffy, and Snoopy specialty shops, along with other unique stores. After that, we arrived in Kyoto and visited the main Chiikawa store, where we bought special Kyoto Chiikawa figurines. Of course, the red "Senbon Torii" (thousands of torii gates) at Fushimi Inari Shrine were breathtaking, and the spectacular view made for incredibly beautiful photos. Our tour guide, Fred, shared many local stories with us, giving us a deeper understanding and experience of the local culture. This trip left a deep impression on us in every location, leaving us with unforgettable memories.

Very interesting experience! Our guide was easy to understand and shared so much information with our group. I learned a lot and enjoyed the performances. The question/answer portion makes the event more personal.

this was the very best tour I have had in Japan! our tour guide Amanda was great! fluent in English and provided us some fun facts about uji. we’ve had the best pictures captured that are instagram worthy!

We had a great time on this tour. the district was beautiful at night. Nagoya was our guide and he was awesome. He let us linger around the tea houses in hopes we would see a maiko. He was bmvery knowledgeable about the area and the history.
