“Bearbeiten Mit Robert entdeckt man Kyoto authentisch und abseits der Touristenpfade”
Robert ist der einzige deutschsprachige Guide in Kyoto und verfügt über ein beeindruckendes und umfassendes Wissen – nicht nur über die japanische Kultur, Geschichte und Etikette, sondern auch über Gesellschaft und Politik. Wir sind sehr froh, ihn aufgrund einer Empfehlung gebucht zu haben. Gemeinsam verbrachten wir einen abwechslungsreichen und informativen Tag, an dem Robert uns neben den bekannten Sehenswürdigkeiten auch zahlreiche Geheimtipps zeigte – darunter besondere Geschäfte und Orte, die von Touristen kaum besucht werden. Eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die Kyoto intensiver und abseits der üblichen Touristenpfade kennenlernen möchten!

“Arashiyama abseits der Touristenmassen ”
Nach unserer ersten tollen Tour durch Kyoto war auch unser zweiter Tag mit Robert in Arashiyama ein echtes Highlight unserer Japanreise. Wir sind morgens gestartet und schon die Fahrt nach Arashiyama in einer der letzten alten Straßenbahnen war ein besonderes Erlebnis. Robert hat den ganzen Tag wunderbar entspannt gestaltet und ist immer auf unsere Wünsche und unser Tempo eingegangen. Es gab keinen Zeitdruck und wir konnten die einzelnen Orte ganz in Ruhe genießen. Während unserer Tour haben wir immer wieder kleine Abstecher zu verschiedenen Aussichtsplattformen gemacht und konnten von dort fantastische Blicke auf die Berge, den Fluss und die beeindruckende Landschaft rund um Arashiyama genießen. Ein weiteres Highlight war unsere Pause in einem kleinen, etwas versteckten Teehaus, bevor es weiter zum Bambuswald ging. Ein ganz besonderer und ruhiger Ort, den wir alleine vermutlich nie entdeckt hätten. Gegen Ende der Tour gab es noch einen traumhaften Moosgarten, umgeben von unglaublich viel Bambus. Dort waren praktisch keine anderen Menschen und wir konnten die besondere Atmosphäre ganz in Ruhe genießen. Gerade in Arashiyama, wo viele der bekannten Orte sehr voll sein können, war das etwas ganz Besonderes. Dazu kamen den ganzen Tag über viele interessante Insiderinformationen, kleine Geheimtipps und besondere Stopps. Man merkt einfach, dass Robert die Gegend sehr gut kennt und einem auch Orte zeigt, die man auf eigene Faust wahrscheinlich übersehen würde. Wir würden diese Tour mit Robert uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Wer Arashiyama entspannt, persönlich und auch abseits der typischen Touristenmassen erleben möchte, ist hier genau richtig. Vielen Dank für diesen großartigen Tag – wir würden jederzeit wieder eine Tour mit Robert buchen!
