Reviews: Japan Kyoto Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Yasaka Shrine + Nara Park + Fushimi Inari Shrine One-Day Tour
_TIKR******05g7sp2026-02-12
We are a family of four who went on a trip with guide Kim Nam-gil. I felt like my understanding of Japan greatly increased because he explained everything in such detail!! It seemed like he really enjoyed being a guide, so it seemed like our family had a great time watching us :) As a bonus, ㅎㅎ he even took us to a good restaurant after the tour! It was really delicious 😋 Thank you so much!!

Traveling alone, I booked a day trip to Kyoto departing from Osaka. 😆 Our guide, ViVi, was very friendly and attentive, providing excellent explanations in both Chinese and English. There was plenty of time for sightseeing, making it a very fulfilling day. I have wonderful memories of Kyoto. 😊 The matcha ice cream 🍦 was so delicious! 🤤

I was truly satisfied with the Kyoto day tour with guide Kim Nam-gil on February 12, 2026! It wasn't just about seeing the sights; he also provided detailed explanations of Kyoto's history and culture while we were traveling, making the trip feel even more meaningful. He was attentive to every detail, allowing me to enjoy the tour in a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to him, I was able to create wonderful memories in Kyoto. Thank you!

Reviews: Kyoto and Nara Day Tour │ Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine + Nara Park
Anonymous user2025-11-19
Kyoto and Nara are must-see destinations on any Kansai trip. Every corner of Kyoto exudes elegance and Zen-like tranquility; in Nara, the ancient trees and gentle, bowing deer of Todai-ji Temple add a touch of dynamism to this ancient capital. It was a very enjoyable trip. Our guide, Xiao Tian, ​​was very nice and provided excellent service, introducing attractions and offering suggestions for the itinerary. The other members of our group were also very punctual, and the atmosphere was wonderful.

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.
