Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed your time in Kyoto, even with the short schedule. Preparing for the hot weather definitely paid off! Please come back anytime:)) Kyoto will always be waiting for you!

Excellent guide for Kyoto

Fumi gave us useful information about the sites in Kyoto (temples, bamboo farms, shopping districts) and picked a delicious restaurant for lunch. She was also patient with us despite the 41C heatwave. We highly recommend her.

Thank you so much for writing a wonderful review. I'm very happy that you enjoyed the tour. I look forward to seeing you again.

Excellent tour of interesting sites

We had a very enjoyable visit to Kyoto. Nori was knowledgeable and provided interesting information on the locations visited. Nori's English was excellent which made it easy to follow his explanations. The visits to the various temples and shrines were enhanced by the historical information Nori provided. When we visit Kyoto again, we will request Nori as our guide.

Thanks for your kind comments. Yes, four hours was definitely too short since there is so much to see and do in Kyoto. Hopefully you can come back someday! Take care!

Private Tours in Kyoto

Unlock the mysteries of Kyoto with a local tour guide! From temples in Gion to lush gardens in Arashiyama, discovering Kyoto’s global appeal is one click away.

Ready to cool off from the day’s heat and high activity? Book a tour to the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, a mesmerizing forest of towering bamboo stalks. While a popular destination, private tour guides can lead you off the beaten path to explore lesser-known trails and rest stops, allowing you and your travel team to escape the crowds and rest in the peaceful ambiance of the grove.

Beyond the visual appeal, your Kyoto tour guide can share stories about the significance of bamboo in Japanese culture overall, and help you gain appreciation for Arashiyama's natural beauty in a more intimate way.
