Daigo-ji Temple tours

Amy (Happy Bunny🐇) is a wonderful tour guide. She is dedicated to making sure everyone has a great time. Her communication and instructions were clear, and she gave us plenty of time to explore on our own. She also shared her valuable knowledge about each destination, which greatly enriched our experience. Thank you!

I was truly impressed with this trip. Every place we visited was absolutely beautiful. The guide took great care of us and gave us enough time at each destination to fully enjoy and soak in the atmosphere. The travel time between each stop was just right, and I loved every destination along the way. I would definitely love to come back and take this trip again!

Our guide Ms Shion was amazing! She is very enthusiastic and engaging. The walk covers quite a lot at a good pace but we didn’t spot any maikos or geishas which was my main objective. I wonder if the route could be reversed so there’s a higher chance of spotting the talented artistes at the the Queen of Geisha district?

awesome experience! it's really rare to meet a geisha/maiko and it was so fun to play a game with her so close

We had a great experience with Ben who was very knowledgeable. Booking this on the first night arriving was a good idea to beat the heat during the day and we managed to cover a lot of area including some uphill locations which would have been exhausting by foot. We learnt a lot about the general history of Kyoto itself and significance of a few sites which was a great base to build upon for the rest of the trip thank you again Ben!

This is a great way to see Gion. Since most of the crowds are there during the day, the night time is the perfect time to go. Plus, if you get Jasmine, you will have an incredibly knowledgeable guide. Totally worth the money!

This was such a great tour! Reon was our guide and he was fantastic. he walked at a good pace, had a picture book to show us everything he was talking about and knew soooo much about the topics he was talking on. he was able to answer all the questions. a very exciting part was we got to see a geisha in training (Maiko) walk by and it brought everything to life. Reon was quick to point her out so we didn’t miss the moment. great tour , lots of really cool information and not difficult walking. would highly recommend. was awesome seeing Kyoto at night!

So this activity is three parts in total. The first one takes you to a temple, then there is a beautiful boat ride that takes you to a dam and finally the sake tasting and optional sale. For those arriving by car, there is parking near the south exit. Our guide Claudia was proactive, interative and cooperative and made this activity fun with information sharing, whenever we sought it. She speaks good english and knows Kyoto well. We did this activity with a 5 month old, so you know thats entirely possible should you choose. Baby prams can be stored near the boat boarding point and rest rooms are available one you reach the dam or at the sake museum. There is a great presentation at the Sake musuem on the brewing process and history. All in all, I would recommend this activity to anyone looking for some good time with family / friends, including infants. Thank you. (Date of activity : 05/05/2026)
