Reviews: Kyoto and Nara Day Tour │ Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine + Nara Park

Guest User2026-03-17

A big thumbs up to Uncle Big Head on WeChat on February 24th! He provided clear information, location, and photos in advance, and was very enthusiastic and meticulous in replying to questions and offering helpful reminders. His driving was very smooth and safe, and the itinerary and arrangement of the three attractions were well-planned. His descriptions of the attractions and restaurants were concise. All three attractions are traditional and representative, rich in local culture and history. Uncle Big Head deserves high praise for his itinerary planning.

Reviews: one-day tour of Nara Park, Kyoto, Kiyomizu Temple, and Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, feeding cute deer and visiting ancient temples

Guest User2026-04-20

First of all, our top priority was having Kiyomizu Temple as the first stop. Since it was also affordable, we booked this tour. Our guide was Mr. Seo Geum-bong, who was kind and explained the course very well, which was great. There weren't too many people at Kiyomizu Temple when we went, so we were able to enjoy our visit. Since this tour takes you to Nara late in the season, there might not be any senbei available, and we couldn't find any. However, there was an elderly man near the parking lot handing out acorns, so we were able to do the feeding experience. If you don't find any senbei, try looking for that old man.

Reviews: Osaka & Kyoto Must-Visit Attractions: Wishes at Katsuo-ji + Scenic Arashiyama in Kyoto + Golden Pavilion Pilgrimage

Guest User2026-04-21

I was very satisfied with this trip to Katsuo-ji Temple! March and April are the perfect time for spring, with beautiful scenery. The itinerary was well-planned and efficient, without being rushed. The tour guide was professional and enthusiastic, providing detailed explanations that allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of Katsuo-ji Temple. Overall, the experience was relaxed and enjoyable.

Reviews: [Cherry Blossom Season] One-Day Tour of Ancient Temples in Kyoto, Japan + Nara Park with Adorable Deer + Fushimi Inari Shrine

Guest User2026-04-27

This is a tour that my husband and I, a pregnant woman, took together. First, I received a recommendation for ★★Guide Oh Seok-bong★★, so I contacted him a month in advance to make a reservation!!!! I didn't specifically mention that I was pregnant in the special remarks, but on the day of the tour, he kindly assigned us seats in the front, so we had a very comfortable tour!! If you are pregnant like me, I think writing that down in advance will make your trip much more comfortable. This was my third time visiting Kyoto, and going with the guide was great because I could see places that I could have just looked around by listening to his explanations and examining them firsthand. Also, he shared not only the tour details but also recommendations for local convenience stores, personal restaurant suggestions, and tips on living in Japan, which made it fun and kept the travel time from getting boring. If you plan to use this service, make sure to request ★★Guide Oh Seok-bong★★ lol. It is seriously fun.

Reviews: Kyoto in a Day: The Ultimate Top 4 Highlights Tour (From Osaka/Kyoto)

Guest User2026-02-04

I felt this was a truly heartwarming trip to Kyoto! From the magnificent golden splendor of Kinkaku-ji to the thousand torii gates of Fushimi Inari Shrine, every stop was breathtaking and thought-provoking. The tour guide was knowledgeable, articulate, and incredibly attentive, patiently answering all our questions.
