This stunning Zen Buddhist temple is adorned with gold leaf and overlooks a tranquil pond, creating a mesmerizing reflection that enchants every visitor. Another prominent temple is the Kiyomizu-dera, famous for its wooden terrace that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city.

Kyoto is also renowned for its beautiful traditional gardens, which serve as an oasis of peace amidst the bustling cityscape. The Ryoan-ji Zen garden, with its meticulously arranged rocks and raked gravel, provides a serene space for meditation and contemplation.

“Great service!”
I booked this ride because I made the mistake of flying into Shizuoka from New Chitose rather than Haneda to go to Fujikawaguchiko. I was at a loss of how to get to the area since it would’ve taken 5 hours and the possibility of missing the last bus. I found gowithguide but was nervous using this platform to book an airport shuttle service for the first time. I read reviews from other websites like jayride that drivers don’t show up but Soq quickly put my mind at ease. He was so communicative and honest. He had wonderful response time when communicating via messaging. He was honest of a fair price which is totally understandable for the long distance he drove. But he deserved every cent! He was so communicative and sent me pics of updates of where he was leading up to pick up. He got to the airport very early for us to make sure he didn’t get traffic. He was very informative and had great tips. Great conversation for the 2+ hour ride. So friendly and kind. I’m very happy that our money for this service went to someone so kind and that provided wonderful service. If ever I’m in need of shuttle or guide service in the area I will gladly book Soq again. Thank you for everything!!

“Very Accommodating”
SoQ was incredibly responsive to all of my questions and requests. He was able to take us to all the places we wanted to go, including picking us up from the cruise port, and dropping us off at the airport. He was kind, friendly, helpful, and even suggested a great place for lunch. The tour was a great success. Thanks so much, SoQ!
