What to Expect

The tour includes five typical tourist destinations in Kyoto city.

We will start with visiting Kiyomizudera Temple literally meaning "Pure water temple". It is the most popular sightsseing spot where you connot miss the panoramic view of the city from its huge stage jutting over a cliff. Many visitors drinking from the streams of pure water falls in the temple expect some divine blessings.

From Kiyomizudera to Gion (classy Gasha district) there is best strolling course in which you can taste the flavor of traditional Kyoto while enjoying stone steps and stone pavement along many cozy and elegant shops,restaurants and old buildings.

In the afternoon we will visit Nijyo Castle,the huge residence of the Tokugawa shoguns in Kyoto, who had been ruling Japan from 17th C to mid 19th C. It was adorned with lavish decorations to show off their absolute power.

Next we will visit Kinkakuji Temple,well known as Golden Pavilion,is definitely must-see in Kyoto. The shining gold leaf covering three-story pavilion never fail to impress visitors with its breathtaking beauty.

The last visit is Ryoanji Temple very famous for its mysterious rock garden.

No one knows for certain when, why and by whom it was created.

so it's up to everyone's interpretation.

My guide fee is 50000yen / 8hours (up to 8 persons)

Good private Osaka Tour

Kenji was very personable and very accomodating. He went out of his way to research in advance details on how to accomplish what we wanted. Had a little difficulty in getting lockers for our luggage. Probably needed to know how much walking our group was comfortable with. Could have adjusted timetable a little better. Very pleasant experience.

Day Trip to Kyoto

Kenji was an engaging and informative guide and we all had a lovely day with him. It was very hot but Kenji came well prepared and took us to all the sites we wanted to see and patiently explained them as well as all the history in Kyoto. I would highly recommend Kenji to anyone who wants an excellent guide who spoke very good English. Bonus points for taking us to a fantastic restaurant in Gion where the food was sensational! Thanks Kenji

Day Tour in Osaka

Kenji is very well knowledge about Osaka and Japanese history and culture. He had a document that shows the history of the various emperors and shoguns, he also illustrated the main points of the various sights and places we have visited. He brought us straight from one location to another quickly and efficiently. He went along to his agenda. Kenji works on the agenda as a checklist and we could close the tour on time.

Kenji M.

Thank you for your great review of my Osaka tour. I'm very glad that you could enjoy the tour and I could also enjoy spending a wonderful time with you and your wife. Your review is a very good incentive to my next tour.
