Kurama Hot Spring-turer

The most memorable excursion, EIKANDO!! Ideally to be done when there are no crowds (which was the case for us on October 27th). Lunch near Sanzen-in (izakaya: "Kyoubijaya", please note cash only payment). Splendid Kifune!

Hadde en virkelig flott opplevelse på denne turen. Jeg nøt den virkelig i fullt drag. Svært, svært fredelige og vakre steder under hele turen. Vår sjåfør og guide, Mr. Song, var en svært hjelpsom og snill person.

Vi nøt denne dagsturen fylt med fredfylte helligdommer, fredelige templer, naturskjønnhet, og litt turistshopping og mat på slutten av turen. Guiden vår, Hide, var vennlig og kunnskapsrik, og han fikk oss trygt og tidsnok frem overalt. Vi vil anbefale denne turen til alle som ønsker å se disse store stedene og attraksjonene uten å måtte bekymre seg for transporten.

Mr. Atsuki Nakagawa gjorde hele opplevelsen enkel å følge og forstå. Han viste oss kulturen og lærte oss historien bak den. Vi var en liten gruppe på tre, så det var veldig gøy. Vi prøvde det innendørs badet og det utendørs badet – utsikten var fantastisk fra utendørsbadet, og vannet er magisk.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Kyoto Tour with Shine! I had an absolutely fantastic experience today with Shine. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire day enjoyable from beginning to end. Shine shared interesting stories and explanations at every stop, gave us enough time to explore and take photos, and kept the day relaxed and perfectly organized. His positive attitude and genuine passion for Kyoto made a huge difference. The itinerary was beautiful, especially the temples, traditional areas, and Fushimi Inari. It was a wonderful way to experience Kyoto and learn more about Japanese culture. Thank you, Shine, for an unforgettable day! I highly recommend this tour and especially Shine as a guide. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am very happy with this trip to Kyoto. Thank you to our tour guide, Yasuo, for accompanying us and taking us all the way to Kifune Shrine, Sanzen-in, and Arashiyama. He answered all our questions along the way, was very gentle and polite, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the tour. It was a wonderful journey.

I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Our guide, Justin, was absolutely fantastic. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Kyoto’s history and hidden gems, but what truly made the experience special was how fun and friendly he was. ​He didn’t just recite facts; he made us feel like we were simply exploring the city with a close friend. He was so helpful with recommendations, patient with our questions, and had a wonderful energy that made the entire day fly by. If you are looking for a genuine, personalized, and insightful way to see Kyoto, book this tour and specifically ask for Justin—you won't regret it!

This was a great small group tour. We didn't have to carry our luggage; it could be stored in the trunk, and the driving time wasn't long. The driver-guide had an excellent service attitude and allowed us enough time at each stop. The night before, they individually confirmed the meeting and pickup times with everyone and reminded us not to be late, which was very thoughtful. On the day of the tour, they were also very punctual. As we approached the hotel, they specifically messaged us in advance to let us know we could wait at the hotel entrance, which was very considerate. Along the way, the driver-guide explained the history, characteristics, and important notes for each attraction, helping us to explore them more effectively. The three attractions were well-connected and all very impressive, with beautiful scenery that my family also loved. For those staying in Osaka, traveling to Kyoto can be a bit far, so this day trip is very suitable. I would definitely recommend it to friends!

We had Wen as our guide for the tour. He had a gentle and likeable personality. The whole tour was a delight and appreciated Wen’s knowledgeable inputs to the sights we visited. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a compact/bundle sightseeing with the comfort of a private tour.
