It was a very nice trip. Our tour guide, Frederick was really helpful. He gave a lot of tips, recommended foods and provided google map links so we can easily find the restaurants. We really liked the itinerary of this trip.

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! 🌟

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.

Ako was a wonderful guide. I'd recommend this tour for not only fans of matcha, but those interested in learning more of the history in Uji City.

Our guide can only be rated as first class happy to discuss local law sites and general history. the stop being tranquil and well explained (courtesy of guide) tea ceremony. Then fully informed Byodin visit with plenty of stops for great photos of which of course he is very happy to help with

Arriving at Katsuoji Temple early in the morning started an amazing day. Cute little Daruma dolls are everywhere as you walk around the entire shrine. The maple leaves along the way fill the mountain with the atmosphere of autumn, making it incredibly beautiful! As soon as you walk into the hot pot restaurant for lunch, you can smell the super fragrant kelp soup, instantly stimulating your appetite. The soup is delicious and the Wagyu beef is also very tasty. After lunch, we went to Tenryu-ji Temple, Togetsukyo Bridge, and the Bamboo Forest Path, but because we encountered a Japanese public holiday, there were too many people, so we couldn't see everything. So we chose to walk towards Tenryu-ji Temple. The maple leaves along the road to Tenryu-ji Temple were also super beautiful for taking photos. We bought a Tenryu-ji Temple exclusive card (very well-made). On the way back, we bought the food recommended by the tour guide. Our last stop was Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and we were lucky enough to see the beautifully lit evening cityscape!
