Passeios por Mimizuka

Amy (Happy Bunny🐇) is a wonderful tour guide. She is dedicated to making sure everyone has a great time. Her communication and instructions were clear, and she gave us plenty of time to explore on our own. She also shared her valuable knowledge about each destination, which greatly enriched our experience. Thank you!

Me quedé realmente impresionado con este viaje. Cada lugar que visitamos era absolutamente hermoso. El guía nos cuidó muy bien y nos dio tiempo suficiente en cada destino para disfrutar plenamente y empaparnos del ambiente. El tiempo de viaje entre cada parada fue el justo, y me encantó cada destino en el camino. ¡Definitivamente me encantaría volver y hacer este viaje de nuevo!

Our guide, Ms. Shion, was amazing! She is very enthusiastic and engaging. The walk covers quite a lot at a good pace, but we didn't spot any maiko or geisha, which was my main objective. I wonder if the route could be reversed so there's a higher chance of spotting the talented artists in the Gion district?

素晴らしい体験でした！芸者さんや舞妓さんにこんなに近くで会えて、一緒にゲームができて本当に楽しかったです。

Aye was an absolutely amazing tour guide at Nijo Castle! He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many fascinating details about the castle, its history, and features that we never would have noticed on our own. I had previously visited Nijo Castle without a guide, and I can honestly say that this experience was 100% better. I learned so much and walked away with a completely new appreciation for the castle and its history. On top of being an excellent guide, Aye was incredibly thoughtful and attentive. When it started to rain during our tour, he even offered to get umbrellas for us! It was such a kind gesture and really showed how much he cares about the people on his tours. I cannot recommend Aye enough. If you’re visiting Nijo Castle in Kyoto, having him as your guide makes the experience so much more meaningful and memorable. Thank you, Aye, for such a wonderful tour!

C'est une excellente façon de voir Gion. Comme la plupart des foules sont là pendant la journée, la nuit est le moment idéal pour y aller. De plus, si vous avez Jasmine, vous aurez un guide incroyablement compétent. Ça vaut vraiment le coup !

This was such a great tour! Reon was our guide and he was fantastic. He walked at a good pace, had a picture book to show us everything he was talking about, and knew so much about the topics he was discussing. He was able to answer all our questions. A very exciting part was that we got to see a geisha in training (Maiko) walk by, and it brought everything to life. Reon was quick to point her out so we didn’t miss the moment. Great tour, lots of really cool information, and not difficult walking. Would highly recommend. It was awesome seeing Kyoto at night!

Ben was very knowledgeable, and we had a great experience with him. Booking this on the first night of our arrival was a good idea to avoid the daytime heat, and we managed to cover a lot of ground, including some uphill locations that would have been exhausting on foot. We learned a lot about the general history of Kyoto itself and the significance of a few sites, which provided a great foundation for the rest of our trip. Thank you again, Ben!

So this activity is three parts in total. The first one takes you to a temple, then there is a beautiful boat ride that takes you to a dam and finally the sake tasting and optional sale. For those arriving by car, there is parking near the south exit. Our guide Claudia was proactive, interactive and cooperative and made this activity fun with information sharing, whenever we sought it. She speaks good English and knows Kyoto well. We did this activity with a 5-month-old, so you know that's entirely possible should you choose. Baby prams can be stored near the boat boarding point and restrooms are available once you reach the dam or at the sake museum. There is a great presentation at the Sake Museum on the brewing process and history. All in all, I would recommend this activity to anyone looking for some good time with family/friends, including infants. Thank you. (Date of activity: 05/05/2026)
