Perfect Combination of Heritage Sites and Gardens

We had a very enjoyable day with Yuri who took us to the main sites we wanted to visit - The Golden Temple, Ryoanji Temple (our favourite with Zen temple and rock gardens), walk through the amazing bamboo forest and ending with the Sanjusan-gendo temple with the 1001 buddhas. Very manageable on a very hot Kyoto day using buses, trains and taxis. Yuri was very informative and efficient. Would highly recommend.

Carole F.

Dear Carole, Thank you for your kind review. I had a very pleasant time, guiding and talking with you and your family. I hope you enjoy the tour to Naoshima. Thank you again. Yuri
