Half-day private tour of Arashiyama Monkey Park and Arashiyama's famous spots

Masa was an amazing guide! I would book with him again! He was very understanding and knowledgeable about the history of Kyoto and he explained everything with a lot of patience. The tour was very thorough and we learned a lot about Japan! I will be recommending to my friends who go to Japan.

Today, my wife and I toured with Miyake and had a wonderful time. He was very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. He provided us with a great amount of detail and history of each site without being overwhelming.a He took us all around the Monkey Park and was patient while I climbed the steps. We had an amazing day, and it would not have been as enjoyable or nice without Miyake's guidance. Thank you, and we highly recommend this trip. In addition,although we arrived 20 minutes Miyake was already waiting patiently waiting for us to arrive. As a result, he was happy to begin the tour early. He allowed us time to take as many pictures as we needed and kindly took some of us with our phone and his own phone which he later sent to us. Thank you. Once again, this was a wonderful trip which we highly recommend. So BEAUTIFUL!!

Masahiko was very nice and he teach us Japanese culture he is a good teacher very very good we are happy Thank you so much. Hontōni arigatō, tomoyo 😊😊😊😊

Absolutely amazing tour! Masa was our tour guide & he was so kind & fun! He showed us beautiful sites & great food places, helped us take photos, taught us some Japanese phrases, & explained the history of Arashiyama. Highly recommend!!

masa was wonderful. had everything planned, was in time, had cisuals to explain every part of the tour, had good explanations. a great day

I highly recommend this tour. Masa-san was very nice and accommodating. Two friends and I decided to book this tour since we only had a short amount of time in Kyoto. We all really enjoyed it! We got to go through the hustle and bustle and be in nature! This tour felt like the best of both worlds. My friends really enjoyed the walk up to see the monkeys! Masa-san made it more enjoyable with his pop quizzes. There were so many things we got to learn from him! I really enjoyed walking around such a large temple and hearing about how the monks live. Getting to walk through the bamboo Grove was another highlight too. Genuinely a wonderful time!

I am so happy that I booked this tour with the very well informed Mr.Masa. He was a fantastic guide and is very knowledgeable, patient, and good sense of humor. The locations we visited were all so beautiful and rich with culture. The pacing and content worked perfectly by allowing enough time to enjoy the locations. If you are visiting Kyoto, please book with Masa! And most importantly, respect the culture and the people of this wonderful country <3

Masa was amazing! So knowledgeable and patient. I’m not a hiker and he made sure to take numerous breaks during our tour.

Our Tour was amazing. Masa was very kind and super sweet. He is very knowledgeable and explained all the sites and made it fun and interactive for us. Our family had an amazing time and we saw so many places in a very short time thanks to Masa. He was patiently waiting for us with our name sign at the train station when we got there so we don’t have to look for him. I definitely recommend this tour with Masa to anyone who visits Kyoto.

Masa provided us a great guided tour! He definitely knows the good places to go in the Arashiyama area. We saw beautiful gardens, temple, bamboo forest and were able to feed the monkeys. Masa made these experiences more complete by providing information and context. He was patient with us and very kind. We had a fun time!
