Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine: This shrine was founded in the 8th century, and now famous for its vermillion torii gates.

This place is so popular among many people all over the world and is always crowded with so many people. It's difficult to take good pictures, however, I will take good ones of you here. Leave it to me!

Fushimi District has purified, clear spring water and has produced good quality of Japanese sake. We will visit Japanese sake brewery and museum. You can try some Japanese sake here. If you have more time left, and pay a little more, we can visit other brewery or liquor shop where you can try some more Japanese sake. Please enjoy Japanese sake!!

Kyoto Tour Reviews
Walter D.
Visiting temples and tea ceremony experience in East Kyoto
“Amazing experience!”
We were looking for a guide for our first day in Kyoto and we found Tomoe's tour of the once-a-month hand-made market. We had no idea about the market, and it was a perfect match for us as we love hand-made things, and they make perfect souvenirs. Tomoe did an amazing job showing us around the market and the beautiful Ginkakuji temple. She helped my elderly mother who had mobility issues and was able to help her get a taxi when she needed to head back to the hotel. We would highly recommend her to anyone and if you're in Kyoto on the 15th of a month please have her show you the hand-made lovers market!

(107 reviews)Dear Walter and family, Thank you very much for your wonderful review. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the hand-made market. (I was happy to help your mother to choose and buy her favorite things at the market!) Yes, you are lucky to have been in Kyoto on 15th of a month when the hand-made market held. I hope that all of your family made a good memory and brought your favorite things to your home. Thank you very much for booking my tour. TOMOE

“Kyoto Day Tour with Tomoe”
We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Tomoe! We couldn't have visited all those places she took us to alone. Our tour included riding on trains, a bus, and a taxi. It was nice to see how locals travel, and a more rewarding experience than getting off and on a tour bus. Tomoe was knowledgeable about all the sites and was easy to talk to. It was like being on a tour with a family member. Tomoe was approachable and genuinely cared about us having a good time. I highly recommend booking a tour with Tomoe! We look forward to seeing her again on our next trip to Japan!

“Amazing tour of Kyoto”
We arranged for our tour guide TOMOE before we left the Uk and the communication with TOMOE was excellent in planning what we wished to see. Meeting her was simple and we could not have wished for a more charming and knowledgeable guide. The day was planned to perfection and certainly made our day in Kyoto one of the high lights of our trip to Japan. I would thoroughly recommend TOMOE to anyone wishing for a guide whilst Japan.
