Passeios por Shirakawa Canal

This was one of the highlights of my trip. Three locations in one day. Shirakawago was stunning even during summer. Takayama, considered the "little Kyoto," gave a peaceful vibe, as did the famous waterway at Gujo Hachiman. I really enjoyed this whole day trip. Our guide, Ritsuki, was very friendly and accommodating. Kudos 👏🏻 💐

Wajid was easily one of the best tour guides I've ever had. Even 30 minutes before we started, he reached out to make sure I knew exactly where to meet him, which was super helpful. He made our whole time in Kyoto memorable. He's really smart and knows his stuff, but he's also just a lot of fun to hang out with. His explanations about the geishas and the local history were fantastic, and he managed to be funny, thoughtful, and totally genuine the whole time. He made sure our pace felt comfortable and answered every single question we had. If you want someone who makes history interesting and approachable, he's your guy. You'll be in great hands with him. 10/10 recommend!

Keiko was very knowledgeable. She hasbtaken time to learn the culture around Gion and was able to share insights of Geikilo and Maiko culture. The rour had many interesting spots and stories. Was a wonderful 2 hours spent with Keiko. We even spotted a Geiko! And that was a bonus.

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?

ツアーの前日にリモインダーと案内を受け取り、ツアーのWhatsAppグループに参加するよう求められます。集合場所は日本橋駅2番出口の外です。ロンドンバス周辺には他にも多くのツアーグループが集まるため、早めに到着し、ガイドが身につけている目印をよく探すようにしてください。私たちのツアーでは、ノックスとレックスという2人のツアーガイドが担当してくれました。彼らは非常に魅力的で、大阪、天橋立、伊根の舟屋、美山に関する日本の歴史の物語をシェアしてくれました。これは間違いなく今回の旅行のハイライトでした！一つアドバイスしたいのは、事前に朝食をしっかりと済ませておくこと、そして観光中に昼食をとる時間がなくなった場合に備えて軽食をいくつか持参することです。天橋立は長めの滞在時間が確保される唯一の場所なので、そこで食事をとる計画を立ててください。私たちは、ツアーガイドに伊根の観光遊覧船と天橋立のリフトのチケットを手配してもらいました。美山ではぜひ牛乳とミルクプリンを味わってみてください！

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 !
