The itinerary was very fulfilling, and every scenic spot was beautiful. One part of the trip involved taking the Eizan Electric Railway to Kurama Station, which was a very special experience!

I wholeheartedly recommend Zhang Yanjin! This day trip to Kyoto's Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Okochi Sanso Villa, Kifune Shrine, and Sanzen-in Temple was an absolutely fulfilling experience, completely stress-free and rejuvenating. The various attractions are quite far apart, and public transportation transfers can be a real hassle. Thanks to Yanjin's excellent pre-planning of the optimal route, our time management was perfect. We never felt rushed, nor did we waste time waiting, allowing ample time at each spot for photos and leisurely exploration. At Sanzen-in Temple, he provided detailed explanations of its history and guided us to admire the moss-covered stone Buddha statues and garden scenery. At Kifune Shrine, he taught us how to experience the unique water fortune-telling and showed us the best spots for photos of the vermilion staircase lanterns. In the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and Okochi Sanso Villa, he led us away from the crowds to find quiet, picturesque corners, and even shared tips on local hidden culinary gems and things to avoid. He is incredibly gentle and patient, meticulously answering all our questions about routes, photography, and shopping. He drives smoothly and carefully, taking thoughtful care of everyone throughout the trip, with no rushing or hidden costs. This one-day tour connected ancient temples in the mountains with secret bamboo groves, offering a relaxed and comfortable itinerary without needing to plan anything ourselves. If you want a stress-free trip to Kyoto, I highly recommend Zhang Yanjin. I'll definitely book him again for my next Kansai trip!

This was a fantastic small group tour. Our guide, Ai, was very thoughtful in her arrangements and managed the time perfectly. Everything went smoothly throughout the trip. At Sanzen-in Temple, she even considered our lunch time and extended our stay by 10 minutes, allowing everyone to leisurely experience Kyoto in the height of summer.

Need a kitchen knife? Make your own. This is it! As a family of 5, it was well worth it to learn an aspect of culture and have your kids participate. This business in particular, is tailored to your group so there is no large corporate awkwardness. As a small business they are able assist you one on one, as necessary. Learn to make a knife: heating, pounding to shape, grinding and sharpening; all in one. I'm from the US and have toured a lot if places.....this one is fun, enjoyable, and most everyone can get something out of this experience.
