Things to do in Uji

We came from Nagoya and rode the shonkansen to Kyoto for our pickup. We came early before the pickup time but the bus came more or less 45mins after due to traffic from Osaka. The trip itself is good and we get to see a lot of tourist spots with my family. However since we started very late, we felt that all tour spots are crammed in time. Still, I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Highly recommend this tour if you only have a few days in Kyoto, as it makes visiting lots of highlights easy & efficient in one day. All the stops were enjoyable & we loved having free time to explore independently at each location without ever feeling rushed. Guide Tina was super friendly, cool, clear and always shared helpful information & recommendations for each stop with Google Map links and meeting points via WhatsApp, which was so helpful. I also really appreciated that, unlike most Klook tours I’ve been on, there was no pressure to leave a positive review (which ironically encouraged me more to leave a good review for this tour & especially for Tina, who fully deserves the praise . Overall, a very smooth & well-run way to see Kyoto’s main sights in a day trip.

It was our first trip to Japan with the kids, so we went with a mix of excitement and worry, but thanks to the bus tour, it was a very satisfying day. In particular, the guide's calm and informative explanations were great. If we had traveled from Osaka to Kyoto and Nara by subway, it would have taken a lot of travel time and we would have struggled to find our way, but being conveniently transported by bus allowed us to sleep during the travel time and recharge our energy. The kids were most satisfied with Nara Park. They were happy to see and touch the deer up close and to buy and feed them crackers. Fushimi Inari Shrine had beautiful colors, so the photos turned out really well. There were many bus tour groups at each destination, so it was crowded, but I felt that it was a good decision to take the bus tour and we had a satisfying day. Highly recommend it!^^

I really enjoyed this day trip. Locke was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable, friendly, and great at keeping the group organized. He shared clear explanations in both English and Chinese and always made sure everyone knew where to go next. He also helped take photos at each spot, which was a nice bonus. Overall, a great experience, and I’d happily recommend him to anyone visiting Kyoto.

This experience was a highlight of our Japan trip. From start to finish, we truly enjoyed the whole day. Our guide, Ako was awesome! We learned so much about shrines, temples, and of course matcha tea! This is an experience worth booking to get the most out of a day in Uji.

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

a lovely experience overall! the lessons we were taught about the history of tea in Japan and how to properly host and serve tea, as well as taking us down a wonderful history lesson of Japan, it was nothing short of wonderful. my friends and I had an awesome time and the atmosphere was silent and beautiful. highly recommend! equipment: 5 experience: 5 instructor: 5 (if I could give a 10 I would)
