Things to do in Kimono Forest

Amanda is our tour guide, she is nice and informative. You need to be early if you like to sit down in the front seat. I have a great time on this trip, highly recommended!

🚎Travel One Bowl Kyoto Bus Tour Review - with Guide Park In-san🚎 Osaka visited again after 10 years 🌸 I visited Kyoto 10 years ago, but I couldn't tour it properly, and there was a bus tour that looked good, but I couldn't experience the kimono, so I was worried. But I thought it would be better to travel comfortably, so I chose the bus tour, and it was really a divine move...! While traveling around Osaka, my husband and I fought a lot because the subway was crowded, but if we went to Kyoto freely, we probably would have fought a lot. But thanks to the bus tour, we had a really comfortable trip~ My husband said that package tours are good for this reason👍 Guide Park In-sun explained each travel destination one by one and told interesting stories, so I wasn't bored while going there~ Every time we arrived at a destination, he sent us a map and told us about the restaurants and cafes there, so it was the best!! At the famous places, he didn't just take pictures roughly, but also recommended poses and took several pictures. He really worked hard to take pictures of each team, even though there were many tour members😊 At the end of the trip, he even gave us a list of Osaka restaurants, so we were able to solve our dinner problem~~ If I ever go on a tour of Japan or somewhere else, I think I'll use Travel One Bowl tour~~ The tour schedule and the guide were all satisfactory on the Kyoto bus tour, Travel One Bowl tour~ Thank you 🫶👏👍

Our tour guide Willa made this itinerary so satisfying! We explored Kyoto and Osaka in one go, from Kinkaku-ji and Arashiyama Bamboo Grove to Gion and Fushimi Inari. Plus, there was private transportation and guided explanations, so all the attractions were included and we weren't rushed. It was easy to take pictures and focus on having fun. It's really perfect for lazy people who still want to collect beautiful spots for social media check-ins.

The train ride was not as impressive as shown on pics. It also depend on which side of the train you are on to get the views. The boat ride was more enjoyable with significant views but duration is abit long like almost 2hrs.

Our guide Christine was super nice, engaging, funny, and knowledgeable. The itinerary was great, we were able to visit 3 major places in one day. Christine gave good recommendations for what to do in each location (what to visit, places to eat and shop). Nara park was fun, we were able to feed the deer. Arashiyama was another great experience, walking along the bamboo forest was nice and the air felt very fresh. we also got to do some souvenir shopping and grab lunch in the area. Our last stop was the Fushimi Inari Torii gates, here my friend and I were able to take some photos and eat some delicious street food.

Being able to go to so many attractions in one day was great! Our guide, Eric, was very friendly and gave good explanations about the places we went to. Our entire family's favorite was Nara Park.

We had an amazing time feeding the friendly deer at Nara Park, followed by a serene visit to the temple (separate ticket required). The walk through the Bamboo Forest in Arashiyama was especially relaxing thanks to the cool weather. Our tour guide, Joanna, was exceptional—she shared detailed historical insights and made the experience truly enriching. After the Bamboo Forest tour, we were given free time to explore on our own. Unfortunately, I misread our Sagano train return ticket and missed the scheduled bus back. Despite the strict timing, Joanna kindly stayed behind, watched over our luggage, and even helped us get tickets to Kyoto Station. Her support meant the world to us. Thank you, Joanna—we deeply appreciate your help!
