Reviews: Kyoto Kifune Shrine, Arashiyama, and Sanzen-in Temples: A 9-person Small Group Tour to Enjoy the Cool Summer and Autumn Leaves
Guest User2025-10-19
I only signed up the afternoon before, and the tour fee of 300+ RMB for a small group of nine was surprisingly good value. The itinerary was reasonable, the pace was just right, and it wasn't rushed.
The driver/guide, Nick Lee, was very friendly and attentive to detail. The bus was very clean and odor-free. Since littering in Japan is troublesome, they provided trash bags on the bus. It rained that day, and they even provided transparent umbrellas, perfect for taking photos. He provided commentary on the bus, speaking both Mandarin and English, catering to different group members. At each attraction, Nick would privately send me the meeting point and time.
Sanzen-in Temple was a delightful surprise—tranquil and healing, which I loved. The water fortune-telling at Kifune Shrine was also fun; I got a very auspicious fortune slip! Overall, I was very satisfied.★

Today was a wonderful trip with Amy! She was more than just a tour guide—she shared fascinating stories and insightful travel tips, recommended amazing restaurants, and even acted as our personal photographer on the bus. Her energy and professionalism made the experience truly special. I highly recommend her to my friends when they visit!★

Guest User2025-10-11
Thanks to our tour guide, Ms. Wang Ting, who was so nice when we brought our baby with us. We also want to thank the Japanese driver for helping us carry the stroller.
You can choose your own way to explore each attraction during the itinerary. We chose a leisurely pace with our baby, and the rides between attractions were short. My daughter loved the Baumkuchen factory, a place everyone doesn't see often. We spent quite a while there, and it was great for taking photos.
Traveling with a tour group was much more convenient and cheaper than taking our own transportation!★

Reviews: Kyoto Arashiyama 1-day Tour [Sagano Scenic Railway, Bamboo Forest Path, Tenryu-ji Temple] Visit Hidden Gems
Guest User2025-07-03
This Arashiyama + Sanzenin itinerary was fantastic! Traveling with kids, the temperature reached nearly 37 degrees Celsius that day, but it was at least 3-4 degrees cooler inside Sanzenin. Sanzenin was lush and green, and many people were taking photos there. Arashiyama was much more crowded than Sanzenin, so I recommend having lunch there; many restaurants only accept cash, so remember to bring cash! For those traveling with young children, it's best to book Arashiyama Scenic Railway tickets in advance. Ask the travel agency's customer service about the most convenient time to book. The round trip by train takes one hour. We even saw people rafting from the train, but we didn't have time. Maybe next time! A special mention goes to our tour guide, Liu Ling; she was incredibly helpful on the train, providing explanations and even taking us to the station before the train departed. On the return trip, she gave the children Arashiyama refrigerator magnets.
