The one-day tour was very fulfilling! Thank you to our guide, Apple, for her professional introduction to the history and culture of each attraction, and for kindly helping us take beautiful photos.

Amazing day trip covering Katsuo-ji, Kinkaku-ji and Arashiyama. Our guide Apple was super friendly, organised and shared great insights about the landmarks as well as great restaurant recommendations. Loved the Bamboo Forest, and Togetsukyo Bridge. Smooth schedule and on time. Beautiful spots — highly recommended. Thank you!

Take the Midosuji Line to the last stop, Minoh, then transfer to a bus (800 yen per adult). The bus can be crowded, and you might have to stand on the mountain road. If there are four of you, a taxi costs about 3600 yen, which is more comfortable and guarantees a seat. Buying tickets on Klook is convenient; just show the staff your QR code before entering the temple.

A winding road up the hill from Minoh-Kayano Station leads you to the temple. After passing the checkpoint, you step into a different world. You'll find small Daruma dolls everywhere, literally, yet the temple still looks organized. We performed the Daruma doll offering prayer, and it felt peaceful. There was a slight drizzle, which enhanced the temple's beauty even more. This is a must-visit place if you're staying in Osaka or Kyoto. Arigato gozaimasu.

This one-day tour connects three key attractions: Katsuo-ji Temple, Arashiyama, and Kinkaku-ji Temple, with a good balance of time allocated to each. Our guide, Noa, who has a literary and artistic flair, managed the time excellently and thoughtfully shared recommendations for food and simple hand-drawn maps. Although this trip didn't allow for in-depth exploration, the English and Chinese explanations included suggestions for other seasons suitable for a return visit, serving as a great starting point for a future in-depth tour. Highly recommended!

Convenient and fast, buy and use immediately, no need to exchange tickets, slightly cheaper. Convenience of booking with Klook:

A very beautiful place, I recommend Katsuo-ji Temple to everyone visiting Osaka to experience a different side of the city.

The tour guide, Apple, gave an excellent introduction in Chinese. She meticulously explained each attraction before we arrived. She was considerate, not making us wait in the hot weather, and thoughtfully called out names so we could board the bus first. Although there was a minor accident during the trip, both the driver and the guide handled it calmly and efficiently, resolving it in just 30 minutes, which was very quick for an accident. The guide also made everyone feel at ease. Additionally, she prepared small gifts to comfort us. Overall, the service was excellent 👍
