Reviews: A one-day tour to the secret place of Kyoto's sea [Amanohashidate cable car overlooking the seagulls, Ine Funaya]
Guest User2025-10-04
We joined a one-day tour from Kyoto, departing from Kyoto Station at 9:40 AM and returning around 6 PM. The day was incredibly fulfilling. The waters of Amanohashidate were crystal clear, and the Ine Boathouse was ancient and unique. Our tour guide, Cui Haihua, spoke both Chinese and Korean, and provided detailed explanations. The itinerary was well-organized, and the guides made the trip relaxing and enjoyable. Highlights: The cable car and boat ride are a must-try; it's a worthwhile experience.
Reviews: Kyoto and Nara Day Tour │ Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine + Nara Park
Guest 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.
Reviews: Japan Kyoto Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Yasaka Shrine + Nara Park + Fushimi Inari Shrine One-Day Tour

I booked a tour with my younger sibling. It was my first time in Osaka, so traveling independently can be physically challenging, but this tour, which included a group tour bus, provided guaranteed rest breaks along the way, making it incredibly comfortable. If I hadn't booked a day tour, I felt it would have been incredibly difficult to get to the tourist spots. Our guide, Haehwa, was incredibly helpful and fun, sharing interesting stories and explanations about the attractions. Haehwa was the best! The schedule wasn't too tight, and we had plenty of free time, so we took lots of photos and visited many delicious restaurants! Not only was Haehwa the guide, but the tour bus driver was also incredibly friendly! This would be a great option for families or couples looking for a day trip to Kyoto. My younger sibling and I were both very satisfied with our Kyoto trip! Thank you! 😍
Reviews: Kyoto + Nara Encounter Cute Deer Classic Panoramic one-day tour[Upgradeable to 9-person Small Group Hotel Pickup]
Guest User2025-08-12
The tour guide contacted very promptly, the route of the itinerary was reasonable, the choice of attractions was also very representative, very classic, and there was a suitable time to play after the attractions. It is a very nice choice for not familiar with the traffic route and not wanting to bother to do the strategy. Very recommended!
Reviews: A day trip to Kyoto, Osaka, Nara Park, Fushimi Inari Shrine, and Arashiyama, Japan.
Guest User2025-09-25
The day trip to Kyoto and Nara was a fantastic experience. The itinerary was well-organized, covering must-see attractions like Arashiyama, the train, Nara Park, Fushimi Inari Shrine, and the bamboo grove. We allowed ample time to admire the scenery and take photos at each stop without feeling rushed. The guide was very professional and knowledgeable, providing clear explanations. His enthusiasm was a real plus for the trip.
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.
