Katsura Imperial Villa and Fushimi Inari

Art, Culture, & Historical
Kyoto
English, Japanese
4 hours
Private tour (only you and your group)
Up to 6 people

Katsura Imperial Villa is too beautiful to express! In the early Edo period, Prince Toshihito, who excelled in both literature and the martial art from childhood, built the Villa. That is both tasteful and simple. We need to apply for the Imperial Household Agency to get in. I will apply for you by postcard. It takes an hour to see the villa by the special guide of the villa. The fee is free.

Amazing day in Kyoto!

Toshiyo was one of the best guides we had in our trip to Japan. She was punctual, had good English, new her way around perfectly, had a lot of insight about Kyoto and was ver y accommodating and patient. We had to keep up with her, she walks fast! We enjoyed her very much. She was friendly, made conversation and was interested in our culture. I would recommend her for sure!

Phenomenal day with Toshiyo!

Toshiyo makes an excellent tour guide, combining expertise, professionalism, and a friendly demeanor. She knows a lot about Kyoto's culture and landmarks and provides fascinating background information at every stop. She's also incredibly skilled at navigating Kyoto's intricate public transportation system. Without her assistance, we wouldn't have been able to explore and learn as much as we did. She's genuinely kind and considerate, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. We'll definitely connect with her again on future trips to Kyoto.

Hi Machael Thank you very much for having me as your guide and writing me a kind review. I am glad we could visit both Golden and Silver temples. I really hope you will be able to come back in autumn to see pretty maple leaves. Regards. Toshiyo

Very helpful guide

Toshiyo was very helpful with our trip to Kyoto. We had problems with our train to Kyoto and were running a few hours late but she did not mind and accommodated us. She is very knowledgeable and we were able to get a lot out of the limited time that we had in Kyoto. Would highly recommend.

Toshiyo O.

Dear Pajman Thank you very much for having me as a guide and writing me the kind review. Your family are so nice and graceful that I was much impressed. Regards. Toshiyo
