Guide fee
Hotel pick-up
Public transportation for you and the guide (approximately 800 yen per person)
Food
Entrance ticket to kiyomizudera, Sanjusangendo and Tofukuji
This tour can be done on foot but the distances between monuments can be more than 20 min. Of course, we can also take buses or taxi :D The way up to kiyomizudera is quite steep and no public transportation going there. Also be aware that depending on the season these places might be crowded, still worth visiting and everyone enjoys them!

Nuestro equipo: María, Unai, Gerry, Candelaria, Ciro y Tania.
Zonas: con base en Kioto/Osaka/Nara, también cubrimos Kobe, Himeji, Uji y, bajo solicitud, otras ciudades de Japón.
Cómo asignamos tu guía: para cada reserva te confirmaremos por mensaje el nombre de la persona que te acompañará, y siempre que sea posible esa guía te contestará directamente para ajustar el plan a tus gustos (ritmo, intereses, alergias, accesibilidad, etc.).
Idiomas: español (nativo), inglés (fluido) y japonés (nivel operativo).
Nos adaptamos a familias, parejas, grupos pequeños y viajeros solitarios, con itinerarios a medida que combinan cultura, gastronomía y vida local.

We tailor private tours for couples, families, solo travelers, and small groups, mixing culture, food, and real everyday Japan.

“AN EXPERIENCE WE HAVE NOT LIVED IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY”
I’ve traveled to many countries and had countless experiences, but this one was by far the best of all. The guide made every moment special — combining deep knowledge, passion, and contagious energy. The way he connected with the group and brought each story to life made a huge difference. Thank you for turning this trip into an experience I will never forget.”
