Highlights
- Arashiyama - The renowned bamboo forest with its subtle hues of green and the sun slanting through has an exceptional beauty. The rustling of the leaves and the creaking of the trunks softly swaying in the breeze have a very relaxing effect. Itâs an experience that you shouldn’t miss while being in Kyoto.

- Kinkakuji Temple - This famous Zen temple is an icon of Samurai culture. Although it is a very popular tourist destination, the unique sight of the Golden Pavilion is well worth a visit. You can get wonderful pictures of the gilded building and its beautiful appearance reflected in the pond.
- Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine - The spectacular tunnel of thousands of vermillion torii gates is so famous and picturesque. These torii gates were offered by worshippers in appreciation of the good fortune they received from the deity enshrined here. Why donât you, too, offer a prayer and change your luck?

Yoshiko ~ Best tour guide - Yoshiko was the best guide! She was knowledgeable about the history of each of the three places we visited which were the Torii gates, the Golden Temple and the Bamboo Forest. We were able to see 3 of the places we had on our list all in one day. Yoshiko was especially helpful in helping us figure out which train to take the following day and helped us reserve our seats. We were so grateful for her kindness and assistance! Ask for her when you book this excellent tour!!

We had a wonderful... - We had a wonderful afternoon in Kyoto touring around with our tour guide Mitsue. She was very sweet, personable, knowledgeable, and gave us a lot of local insight about the sights, food, and transportation. We really appreciated the efficiency with which we were able to see all the sights given our quick stop over in Kyoto. We would highly recommend this tour!

Loved our tour! - After some initial confusion about our train station meetup, we connected with our guide Keiko. The tour was very personalized and informative. We got so much more out of our visits to the landmarks than we would have on our own. “Kei” was warm, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.

Excellent half day tour - Really enjoyed this private half day tour with guide "Nick" alias Satoshi Nonake. He kept us informed via Whatsapp before the tour and was very organised with his timetable, catching of trains etc. Would have been a lot more dificult and time consuming on our own. He was friendly, engaging and took photos of us which he sent later. He also gave us thoughtful little gifts and importantly, didnt talk too much like some guides we have had before! Good value for money and thoroughly recommend.

Excellent half day tour - Really enjoyed this half day tour with a very good guide called "Nick" alias Santoshi Nonaka. He kept us informed via Whatsapp about the tour days before the event and was very organised with his timetable, catching of trains etc. Would have been very difficult and time consuming to do on our own. He was friendly, engaging, took photos of us and didnt talk too much!! like I have found so many other guides to do. Well worth the cost and thoroughly recommended.

Perfectly planned tour :) - I was with a large group on tour in Japan for a show. We knew we only had a short time in Kyoto, so we booked this tour because it hit every spot we wanted to prioritize! Our group ended up in 2 separate groups, with Nozomi leading one and Michiko leading another! Both were incredible and planned out our two groups eventually meeting up. They were insightful, fun, and such a joy to have leading us. Perfect tour for anyone who wants to see the biggest sights while handing the planning reins to someone else. 10/10, would recommend!

Amazing Tour! - A group of five of us friends did this tour and it was incredible. The time flew by, the sites were so special. Our tour guide, Michiko, was absolutely incredible and the sweetest, most helpful person ever. We would still be lost at the first stop if it wasn’t for her. This made our Kyoto trip 100x better and takes the ease out of figuring out the travel logistics between stops. Couldn’t recommend more.
