Online Cherry Blossom Crawling Tour in Kyoto / Osaka
Spring is a beautiful season especially to see cherry blossoms. Unfortunately this year you cannot visit Japan to see the beautiful scenery. But why not online ?? I'll take you to the best cherry blossom spots I recommend on the day. There are 2 plans depending on weather and blooming condition. 1. Live tour (guide at site) 2. Virtual tour (guide from home) Both are provided with beautiful scenery and the guidance about the place and Japanese culture by the experienced tourguide.
Hidden Zen Garden (Autumn Edition)
Experience the power of nature and art while you virtually travel to Japan and immerse yourself in the mystical Zen gardens of Konchi-in and Tenju-an. Led by an American Japanese garden specialist who has worked in the gardens of Kyoto, you will virtually stroll the gardens and hear deep insights into your surroundings that will allow you to appreciate the Japanese garden for much more than it's physical beauty.
A Walk Among 1200 Sacred Buddhas (Autumn Edition)
Get insider access to Otagi Nenbutsu-ji, a mountain temple that is hardly known to most visitors of Kyoto. As we stroll the grounds of this highly unique temple you will hear about it’s fascinating story that has never been told in such depth in English before. While traveling through space and time we will follow the artistic transformation of this place and experience the power it emanates. This truly unique and uplifting story will undoubtedly fill your heart with joy and inspiration.

“Great day in Kyoto with Hiroyuki”
We had a really great day in Kyoto with Hiroyuki (it was a long day too and we walked over 22,000 steps!). Excellent communication prior to the day, Hiroyuki arranged to meet us at the cruise port in Osaka and customised the itinerary to suit our preferences (including the market and main temples/shrines). He very helpfully suggested we booked tickets in advance for the truly fabulous Miyako Odori Geiko & Maiko show & tea ceremony. I think what made a real difference for us was the excellent information he provided whilst travelling on the train/metro from Osaka Port into Kyoto and during the rest of the day at all the main sights. Basically we had a compact history of Japan, Buddhism, Shinto, wars etc and he answered all our questions very well throughout the day (& showed us how to get metro/train tickets!). Hiroyuki was very kind and patient with us, letting us stroll around the market and stop quite often for photos, taking us to a nice little tea shop for a break, getting taxis between sights where necessary and guiding us through the very busy Gion area. We changed our plans on the day so we could get the bullet train back to Osaka just for the experience and Hiroyuki again helped with getting the tickets and finding the right platform at the enormous station! And escorted us right back to the ship. I honestly don’t think we would have seen or understood nearly as much had we tried to do this independently or in a larger tour group. We would definitely recommend getting a personal guide in this area and would 100% recommend and use Hiroyuki’s services again. Arigato ありがとう

(37 reviews)It is fun to be among the fine family as a guide. Everybody in your family seemed very happy. That made me happy too, to be a guide for your family. It was very pleasant day for me too. Thank you very much for your review. Take care.
“Tour in Kyoto & Kobe”
Yoshi is a very nice person, he guided us through the golden and silver pavillion, as well as a city tour through Kobe. His recommendation for lunch and dinner were great. It was sometimes hard to follow his explanations, he needs to improve his English skills. Also, when asked something particular of the Japanese culture and history, constantly he didn't know the answers. While on Kobe he made us walk through very steep streets just to show us a neighborhood which was not that relevant to us westerners.

(188 reviews)Thank you for your review for my tour in Kyoto and Kobe. I will try to improve my explanations so that non-native speakers of English can well understand our history and culture. I am sorry if you were not so much interested in Former Foreigner's residential area on the steep hills in Kobe. Yoshie
