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: [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: [Official Ticket] JR HARUKA Kansai Airport to Tennoji/Shin-Osaka/Osaka/Kyoto/Nara/Kobe Limited Express Ticket (Pick up at ticket machine on-site)
Guest User2026-01-26
It was a great experience. The package I bought on Ctrip was a great deal, cheaper than buying it directly at the counter, and it even included a serving of takoyaki at the 58th-floor restaurant. The scenery was also amazing. Highly recommended.

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.
