Osaka Castle in Osaka, Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto, and Todaiji Temple in Nara. This tour takes you to the symbols of these three cities!

The highlight of the trip will be seeing deer. Let's go on a super compact trip!

“A Thoughtful and Memorable Day in Kyoto with Tatsuya”
We had a wonderful day touring Kyoto from Osaka with Tatsuya as our guide and driver. He was very accommodating and flexible throughout the day, especially when we made several last-minute adjustments to our itinerary to fit in everything we hoped to see. One member of our group has mobility challenges, and we truly appreciated the extra care Tatsuya took to help make the experience smooth and comfortable for her. He arranged wheelchair assistance at locations that involved more walking and also coordinated an incredible rickshaw ride through the bamboo forest, which became one of the highlights of our entire trip to Japan. Tatsuya was consistently kind, patient, and helpful throughout the day, and it was clear that he genuinely wanted us to have a memorable experience. His thoughtfulness and willingness to help made a real difference, and we are very grateful for the special memories created during our time in Kyoto.
Tatsuya M.
The pleasure was all mine! I'm so glad Barbara enjoyed her birthday celebration! I'm truly happy that she was impressed by the rickshaw ride through the bamboo forest! I hope your family continues to have meaningful experiences in Japan. I'd love to show you more of Osaka next time, so I look forward to seeing you again!
