Reviews: Kyoto & Nara & Uji World Heritage Day Tour: Nara Park & Fushimi Inari & Byodoin & Matcha Street
Guest User2025-12-16
Our tour guide was incredibly friendly and talkative! He shared a lot of travel tips with us, and the whole experience was truly wonderful because of him 👍
In Nara, we saw baby deer and their mothers, bought a deer-shaped piggy bank, and won some Demon Slayer gashapon toys; in Uji, we ate at Ito Kyuemon and bought everything we'd regretted not getting before; at Fushimi Inari, we bought a limited-edition Chiikawa, the thousand torii gates were beautiful, and the food stalls near the entrance smelled amazing—remember to bring plenty of cash!
This itinerary might have been better if we had started from Kyoto.★

Reviews: Keihan Railway: Kyoto-Osaka Sightseeing Pass | 1-Day/24-Hour Ticket (E-Voucher)
Guest User2026-01-18
Very convenient to use. This time I used the Keihan Railway + Osaka Subway combination. I forgot my wallet and had to go back to get it, but luckily I didn't have to pay extra for transportation. It's suitable for first-time travelers who are unfamiliar with the transportation system, as you don't have to worry about missing your stop and wasting money. In the morning, I took the subway to Yodoyabashi and transferred to the Keihan Railway to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. On the way back, I visited Fushimi Inari, Tofuku-ji Temple, and Uji. Very cost-effective.★

Reviews: Kyoto & Nara Highlights Day Tour [From Osaka • 7 Major Spots In A Day • Kiyomizudera Temple / Fushimi Inari Taisha / Nara Park / Kasugataisha Shrine / Byodoin Temple / Uji Omotesando / Todaiji Temple]
Guest User2026-01-14
I brought my elderly friends here to celebrate my grandmother and grandfather's 80th birthday. Our guide, Yuri, was very kind and helpful, and the driver drove very well and took such good care of the elderly. Thank you. Of course, he found great travel spots and explained things well, and we had a really fun time. If I come again, I would like to meet our guide, Yuri, again.★

Reviews: Keihan Railway|Kyoto Osaka Sightseeing Tour 1/2 Day Ticket (electronic exchange ticket) (Kurayama & Kibune & Hirakata Park)
Guest User2025-11-17
Tickets are issued instantly after purchase. At the station, simply show the QR code to the staff to redeem the physical ticket. You can ride the Keihan Railway, the Iwashimizu Hachimangu Ropeway, and the Eizan Electric Railway to Kifune Shrine. It's perfect for a day trip in Kyoto. First, visit Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine, then explore Kyoto, and finally head to Kifune in the evening to see the night lights and the autumn leaves tunnel.★

Reviews: Nara Park + Uji + Hot Springs Day Tour in Japan
Guest User2025-09-17
A very thoughtful tour. The guide was friendly and considerate, and the bus departed on time at Nihonbashi Exit 2. A last-minute onsen trip was postponed because no one else wanted to go, so we stayed in Uji for an extra hour. Playing in the Uji River was so relaxing, and the Tale of Genji Museum is also worth a visit. Be sure to plan your time well. The stop in Nara was also a delight. The deer were adorable and politely nodded in response to food. While some were surly, it was a fun and enjoyable experience. A truly wonderful experience, highly recommended.
