“Ringing the gong at Chikurin-ji Temple”

From the Chikurin-ji Temple to the observation deck at Godaisan Park to the red bridge at Harimayabashi Park to shopping at Harimayacho, it was a day full of contrasts. With the use of translation apps, we were able to communicate beautifully with our driver and learn all about this wonderful city.

“A Wonderful Introduction to Kyoto”

Thanks to Akira, our first full day in Kyoto was a great introduction to the city. He arrived promptly in his very comfortable car and was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and very passionate about Kyoto and Japanese history. We explored a less-touristy section of the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and surrounding area, visited Ryoan-ji Temple, and enjoyed lunch at a family-style restaurant with our food delivered by a robot! We also toured the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji) and the incredible Sanjusangen-do Temple. Akira shared fascinating historical insights and offered excellent recommendations for the rest of our week in Kyoto!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and introducing you to the beautiful city of Kyoto. I’m so glad you enjoyed exploring the quieter side of Arashiyama, visiting its beautiful temples, and experiencing some of Kyoto’s local food culture. I always enjoy sharing not only the famous sights but also the history, stories, and hidden corners that make Kyoto so special. I hope my recommendations helped make the rest of your stay in Kyoto even more memorable. It was a pleasure meeting you, and I sincerely hope to welcome you back to Japan again someday! Wishing you all the best on your future travels!

“Unforgettable Miyazaki and the wild horses”

Hello Eije. Today was our second time meeting in Aburatsu, and once again, your friendly nature truly shone through. We had some wonderful conversations and learned a great deal about your home region. Seeing the horses at Cape Toi was a real highlight! You also treated us to an excellent lunch—we were very impressed by Yagoroudon. And the Udo-jingu Shrine is definitely a must-see. Today was another unforgettable experience. We hope to see you again someday, and if you ever happen to visit our part of the world, please be sure to get in touch! Best regards, Annetta and Henry
