It was most recently rebuilt in the 1930s after being created during the Heian Period (794–1185). The bridge appears especially lovely against the backdrop of the wooded slope. Adjacent to the bridge is a riverbank park dotted with scores of cherry trees. HAMMOOSE GROVES Nice walks and bicycle rides can be had along the walking routes that go through the bamboo trees. When there is a light wind and the long bamboo stalks softly move back and forth, the woods become very picturesque. Bamboo has been utilized for generations in local workshops to make a variety of goods, including mats, cups, boxes, and baskets. SANSO VILLA OKOCHI This is

Accommodating and Beautiful scenic photos - Our tour guide, Nomi, was very accommodating. He picked us up from Kyoto Station and gave us the exit to take upon arrival for meeting area which we appreciated. He brought us to the places that we wanted to see and took vibrant photos of us - beautiful memories of our trip. We had a great time - with lots of information and humor during the tour.

Exceeds expectations!!! - Nomi was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and an excellent photographer who captured all of the highlights of our tour in ways that we never even dreamed were imaginable. The tour was fully customizable and we enjoyed every minute of it. I would highly recommend this tour and our guide, Nomi, to anyone.

Best Tour in Kyoto - I highly recommend this tour especially if you have multiple age ranges in your group. Nomi and Hashan were very communicative, punctual, and accommodating to my group's needs and requests.
We had a large group of 10. My two kids are 9 and 4, and I bet you can imagine how particular they can be about things from walking distance to time, etc. Nomi and Hashan didn't only ensure they are comfortable but also enjoy enough activities.
As a huge bonus point, Nomi is an amazing photographer. He is very aware of the best angles for your pics. Too bad the app seem to have an error so I couldn't upload the wonderful pics he took of us.
If you are looking for the best personalized tour in Kyoto, I highly recommend this tour.

Best tour - and tour guide - ever! - This was the highlight of our trip! If you are fortunate enough to get Nomi as your guide, you are in for an excellent day. Modern car with great AC, he knows soooo much about Kyoto and the sights, and he knows just the right place to take photos - and is a master at iPhone photography. Seriously - this was such a bonus! We’re a family of 5, and all of us felt that he went above and beyond expectations, and would love to have him as a guide again in the future!

An amazing city and this tour is a great way to take it all in. Thanks Nomi! - Booked this tour based on other reviews and it did not disappoint. Nomi was a wonderful guide who picked us up in Osaka and took us on an action packed day in Kyoto. He was very attentive and personally took us to all the places we needed to see. He was happy to work with some customizations based on our group and made a great suggestion for lunch that we all enjoyed. My only regret is not staying in Kyoto as there is so much to do and see. Spend a night or two in Kyoto and book this tour from there to save extra travel time. Such a beautiful place, highly recommended and a big thanks to Nomi for making it a great day.

Beautiful Kyoto - We love the culture, the history and the beautiful flora and fauna of the gardens and bamboo forests of Kyoto. We owe this to our very knowledgeable guide Nomi who did an excellent job explaining what we need to know. Thank you Nomi
