Kyoto has a large number of old cultural heritages, needless to say, from the time when
its history had started. On this tour, guests are invited to the journey to look into many of the historical and cultural monuments that Kyoto has handed down. Here, we try to concentrate on the eastern part of the city and visit mainly temples and shrines in addition to some entertainment spots.
JR Kyoto Station
The starting point for the tour
This shrine is the head shrine of all the Inari shrines in Japan. It is a tutelary shrine located in the southern part of the city to enshrine the soul of the Japanese gradian god for good harvest, prosperity, and business success.
This temple was built in the twelfth century and now belongs to the Zen Sect in Buddhism. It has a very unique feature in its design to have a long hallway of 33 kens (about 70 meters) in the Japanese length unit. It also accommodates the famous 1,001 Buddha statues along with famous Japanese paintings.
This is the 16th pilgrimage temple in the Western Japanese pilgrimage temples. There is the famous Kiyomizu Stage designated as the national treasure. After visiting this temple, you may take meals as are wished.
Along these streets, visitors can find many Japanese restaurants. tea houses, inns, souvenir shops. chinaware factory, etc.
This shrine was built in the 7th century and remodeled afterward in the early Heian period (9th century) to mitigate the plague then prevalent. The main gate is famous for its unique red structure.
This shrine was built in commemoration of the transfer of the Japanese capital in 794 for further advancement of the city in culture. industry, and business. The big torii gate on the approach to the shrine is very dominant.

“Poor Experience”
No disrespect to Yasuo, but my client had a very poor experience with him which caused me to have to issue a refund to the client for poor service, as she was very upset that he was not able to find the location. This did damage to my company's reputation, and my reputation as a travel agent. Again, no disrespect to Yasuo, but this is the experience we had. Nothing malicious happened, but the experience was not good or reliable for the client.
“Delightful day”
Yasuo was very prepared and on time for our day in Osaka. We asked to see and experience local flavor and historical sites. We could not be more pleased with the experiences he delivered . He is patient and answered all questions. We highly recommend him as your guide in Osaka .

“Tour with Yasuo”
Our tour with Yasuo was very nice and organized. Yasuo was thoughtful to contact us at our hotel to confirm with us as my internet was not working well. He planned out our route well and it was a good overview for the time we booked with him. He is a very pleasant person to spend time with as a tour guide.

(6 reviews)Ms and Mr Marks, Thank you very much for your thoughtful message. I was worried if the legs of Mr. Marks were OK in the last stage of your trip as he seemed a little tired. I am glad to hear your kind message. Thank you again and wish you an enjoyable life. Best wishes, Yasuo
