Fun tour of Arashiyama with Rin

We had an awesome partial day tour of Arashiyama with our tour guide Rin! She was knowledgeable, kind and super accommodating to the things we wanted to do. Arashiyama is beautiful and a must visit if you’re in Kyoto and we highly recommend Mary’s team for your tour. Thank you Mary and Rin!!

Nara tour - Kyoto to Osaka private guide (driver)

Mary was my contact person to get a driver from Kyoto to Osaka with a stop with a guide in Nara. The communication was excellent. Whenever I had a question, Mary got back to me right away. Mary gave great suggestions of what to see in Nara. The driver didn't speak English but the guide did. Tiffany our guide was sweet and knowledgable about the area. We did a lot in a short period of time. Tiffany was willing to do what we wanted and we were able to change the itinerary slightly.

Dear Sarah, Thank you so much for your kind words!! I’m so happy to hear that you had a great experience during your Nara tour, and Tiffany was able to make it special for you. It was my pleasure to assist with the arrangements. If you ever need help with another tour in the future, I’d be more than happy to assist. Thank you again! Best Regards, Mary

Why not enjoy your holidays in Kyoto? You can certainly get in touch with many things Japanese that we are proud of. They are old temples and shrines, cultural assets and the beautiful natural surroundings. You can also enjoy dropping in at souvenir stores and buy exquisitely made products, such as folding fans, porcelain and traditional Japanese cakes. I would like to take you to the following places, which are the three representative tourist destinations in this city: (1) Arashiyama It is the place where all the traditional natural beauties of Japan are combined together. They are Togetsukyo bridge, bamboo grove and the old temples. If you go up to the observation spot, you can enjoy the magnificent view of the gorge below. You can also see rickshaws of the olden times drawn by young people with smiling passengers on board. There are souvenir shops selling variety of goods and products. (2) Nijo-jo Castle (World Cultural Heritage Site) This castle was built in the early 17th century by the Tokugawa Shogunate government for the purpose of protecting the Kyoto Imperial Palace and as the accommodations when Tokugawa Shogun was in Kyoto. It was subsequently enlarged by successive Shogun. It is the castle as well as the palace, where you can see the powerful structures and beautiful gardens. You can learn, in addition, how great the power of Tokugawa Shogun was. (3) Kinkakuji temple (the Golden Pavilion) (World Cultural Heritage Site) The history of this temple began when the third Shogun of the Muromachi period acquired a tract of land in this area from a powerful statesman in 1397 and built a villa of his own to entertain the Emperor and members of the nobility. The upper two levels of the temple are covered with pieces of gold foil and are shining brilliantly against the background of the rich greenery. The pond in the foreground reflects the golden structure. It looks like the materialization of Pure Land of Buddha in this world. In addition, on the top of the golden structure is the shining phoenix.
