Coisas para fazer em Mount Kurama

The itinerary was very fulfilling, and every attraction was beautiful. One part of the trip involved taking the Eizan Electric Railway to Kurama Station, which was a very special experience!

Full marks for Zhang Yanjin! This day trip to Kyoto's Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Okochi Sanso Villa, Kifune Shrine, and Sanzen-in Temple was an absolutely fulfilling and healing experience, completely stress-free from start to finish. The various attractions are quite far apart, and public transport transfers would have been particularly cumbersome. Thanks to Yanjin's excellent pre-planning of the optimal route, time management was perfect – no rushing, no wasted waiting, and ample time at each spot for photos and leisurely exploration. At Sanzen-in Temple, he meticulously explained its history and guided us to admire the moss-covered stone Buddha statues and garden scenery. At Kifune Shrine, he taught us how to experience the unique water fortune-telling and showed us the best spots for photos of the vermilion staircase lanterns. In the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and Okochi Sanso Villa, he led us away from the crowds to find quiet, picturesque corners, and even shared tips on local hidden culinary gems and how to avoid tourist traps. He is incredibly gentle and patient, meticulously answering any questions we had about routes, photography, or shopping. He drives smoothly and carefully, taking thoughtful care of everyone in our group throughout the journey, with no rushing or hidden costs. In one day, we connected ancient temples in the mountains with secret bamboo groves, enjoying a relaxed and comfortable itinerary without needing to plan anything ourselves. If you want a stress-free trip to Kyoto, I highly recommend Zhang Yanjin. I'll definitely seek him out again for my next Kansai trip!

It was a wonderful small group tour. Our guide, Ai, was meticulous in her arrangements and managed the time perfectly. The whole trip was very smooth. At Sanzen-in Temple, she even considered everyone's lunch time, giving us an extra 10 minutes to stay, allowing everyone to leisurely experience Kyoto in the height of summer.

Need a kitchen knife? Make your own. This is it! As a family of 5, it was well worth it to learn an aspect of culture and have your kids participate. This particular business is tailored to your group, so there is no large corporate awkwardness. As a small business, they are able to assist you one-on-one, as necessary. Learn to make a knife: heating, pounding to shape, grinding, and sharpening; all in one. I'm from the US and have toured a lot of places... this one is fun, enjoyable, and most everyone can get something out of this experience.

Our guide, Nakazato, is very knowledgeable and explained the places we visited very well. He was also very punctual for all our scheduled times. It was a very pleasant trip. Much appreciated.

The tour guide was very attentive in their communication and their explanations were quite professional. The attractions were good, and the time arrangement was smooth. Overall, it was a great experience.

Today, we'd like to thank our tour guide, Mr. Zhang Yong, for his assistance and care throughout the journey, which made the trip smooth and enjoyable. We wish you peace, good health, and success in your work. We hope to meet again someday! 😊

The best onsen experience so far. The staff were very accommodating. The facility was top-notch. The best part was the outdoor onsen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
