Passeios por Sanzen-in Temple

I went to Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto last time, so this time I went to a place I hadn't visited before. It was just before a long holiday, so there weren't many people, and it was quiet and lovely~! Rather than thinking, "Wow, how amazing!" when I saw it, it was more about the beautiful scenery, the path I walked while gazing at that scenery, the many photos I took at photo spots, and the unexpected seagull zoo feeding (making eye contact with seagulls and hawks). I didn't have high expectations, but it was fun! The downside is that the travel time is a bit long if you depart from Osaka! However, our guide, MICA, explained many things about Japan very well and took beautiful photos for us, so I even changed my KakaoTalk profile picture after a long time! 😄

If you're planning a leisurely trip to Kyoto, one that isn't rushed and allows you to deeply experience the beauty of Kyoto's mountains, forests, and ancient temples, I truly highly recommend this tour! 🌿 I especially want to give a strong recommendation to tour guide Wang Zhaoyu! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you only speak Chinese, there's absolutely no need to worry. Mr. Wang speaks Chinese very fluently, and his professionalism was evident from the day before the meeting. The day before, I couldn't find the meeting point, so I called the guide on a whim, and to my surprise, he not only answered immediately but also patiently helped me step-by-step. This level of service alone deserves a five-star rating! Throughout the entire trip, Mr. Wang's explanations were clear, and he was friendly and approachable. His driving skills were also incredibly impressive; despite being very prone to motion sickness, I didn't feel sick at all. His driving was smooth and comfortable, allowing everyone to safely enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. The itinerary was also excellent, very suitable as an introductory tour for these attractions. It not only allows you to quickly understand the characteristics of each spot but also helps you identify which places best suit your preferences. If you find a particularly favorite spot, you'll have a better direction for planning a deeper, self-guided exploration next time. For a one-day tour, this pace is very comfortable, suitable for companions who walk slower, with ample time reserved at each attraction to experience the charming blend of Kyoto's mountains, ancient temples, and streams. It's a route I highly recommend. 🍃 Nanzen-ji Temple boasts a solemn and ancient temple atmosphere, complemented by the famous Suirokaku aqueduct, where history and nature perfectly merge, offering different charms in each season. Eikan-do Temple is renowned for its autumn foliage, and although this wasn't the maple leaf season, the tranquil and elegant garden still had a unique charm, each with its own beauty. 🍃 Sanzen-in Temple is filled with a strong sense of Zen, with its quiet and healing moss garden. Strolling through it instantly calms the mind. This time, I was also lucky enough to catch an exhibition by Professor Kumiko Minami (on its last day), adding an unexpected surprise to the trip. 🚃 Although the Eizan Electric Railway (Takaragaike Station – Kurama Station) doesn't have the spectacular autumn maple tunnel, the summer's lush green mountains and the fresh, healing scenery along the way showcase another kind of vibrant Kyoto landscape. ⛩️ What's most unforgettable about Kifune Shrine are the red lanterns neatly arranged on both sides of the approach, looking especially dreamy against the green backdrop. Although I didn't experience Kawadoko cuisine this time, just seeing the Kawadoko landscape built along the stream deeply conveyed the unique charm of Kyoto's summer. Overall, this was a relaxed, stress-free, in-depth trip to Kyoto, where there was no constant rushing, but rather a genuine opportunity to slow down and experience the beauty created by the intertwining of mountains, ancient temples, and streams. If you're still hesitating whether to join, I truly recommend choosing tour guide Wang Zhaoyu; he is professional, friendly, meticulous, and reliable, and will definitely enhance your Kyoto trip!

My mom, aunt, sister, and I, a group of four, were traveling in Osaka when we found a bus tour on Klook. It looked convenient, and the tourist spots in the pictures were so beautiful that we decided to book it. Our Korean-speaking guide was Ms. Saito, who, despite being Japanese, spoke Korean very well. She provided detailed explanations for each attraction and taught us a lot about Japan, which made the experience very enjoyable. She also took many beautiful photos for us at each spot, so we have lots of lovely memories. I highly recommend it! If I come to Osaka again, I'd love to travel with Ms. Saito again :)

Peggy, our tour guide was awesome and very helpful, while the tour itself was really nice. First time riding a lift.

My husband and I very much enjoyed this tour guided day trip to Shiga! Our tour guide Effy was very informative and kept us updated throughout the day regarding itinerary. The bus was clean and comfortable and the bus driver did a great job too in driving us. All of the places we went to were beautiful and very scenic. We definitely recommend doing as part of your Japan trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed this day trip filled with serene shrines, peaceful temples, natural beauty, and some touristy shopping and food at the end of the tour. Our guide Hide, was friendly and knowledgeable and he got us everywhere safely and on time. We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see these major sites and attractions without having to worry about the transportation.

It was my first experience with klook and I couldn't be happier. Even if it was rainy the whole day, we could enjoy the itinerary as described thanks to Effy. She was amazing, she explained everything and was always ready to answer other questions and doubts. I would totally recommend 🌱

The whole day's itinerary was extremely rich, the bay was breathtakingly beautiful, and the experience was deeply impressive. We were able to see many seagulls following the boat. Amanohashidate was stunningly beautiful, and there were bicycles on the mountain available for photos. The seaside train saved a lot of trouble.

Good service and a friendly tour guide, fluent in English and Mandarin, able to explain everything in detail. Recommended tour trip.
