Reviews: A day trip to Kinkaku-ji Temple, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, Japan.
Guest User2026-10-28
During our 3-day, 2-night trip to Osaka with my father, we booked a one-day tour of Kyoto. Thanks to Guide Sai, who speaks excellent Korean, we had a wonderful trip. If you are planning a trip to Osaka, I highly recommend spending a day visiting a nearby city. Thank you again, Guide Sai Toshiko, for guiding us and making this such an enjoyable trip. ^^

Reviews: Kyoto Day Tour: Arashiyama + Sanzen-in + Kifune Shrine (Departure from Osaka or Kyoto | Optional Hotel Pickup / Small Group with Sagano Romantic Train)
Guest User2026-09-07
Having visited Kyoto several times, I finally realized I should explore more attractions instead of just stopping at Hanamikoji, Kiyomizu-dera, Fushimi, Inari, and Nishiki Market. So, I joined a small day tour to see three places I'd never been before. Since many Kyoto attractions are scattered, it's really inconvenient to visit several places in one day without a car. Sanzen-in Temple, Kifune Shrine, and Arashiyama—if I had to choose, I'd visit Sanzen-in Temple multiple times; it's so beautiful! Of course, early September isn't peak autumn foliage season, so Arashiyama wasn't at its most beautiful. Personally, I felt that without the autumn leaves, the place resembled Anji or Tonglu in Zhejiang—green mountains, clear water, and bamboo forests, nothing particularly special. The small tour departed from Osaka, which was especially convenient for us living in Kyoto, as we could sleep in a little longer, have breakfast, and wait for the tour bus to pick us up. The driver even arranged for me to be a tour guide on the spot, giving me tickets for the Sagano Scenic Railway and letting me lead nine people on a round-trip train journey and arrange seating. It was quite fun.

Reviews: [Small Group of 9] Kyoto Kifune Shrine + Arashiyama + Sanzenin Temple Day Trip
Guest User2026-07-18
The driver was so kind and helpful! We overslept, and he waited for us for a long time, picking us up directly from Osaka Station. The itinerary was great, though it would have been even better if we had more time to explore each place. Arashiyama was so beautiful, and it was a bit of a shame we didn't have enough time to ride the little train. We'll definitely go again next time.

Reviews: 1-day in-depth Kyoto tour: Kinkaku-ji + Fushimi Inari Taisha + Ninenzaka/Sannenzaka - explore thousand-year-old temples
Guest User2026-10-20
I was worried that traveling alone might be a bit awkward, but above all, I really appreciated how considerate the guide, Sai, was and how he tried to teach me as much as possible. I highly recommend Sai as your guide, even if you are traveling alone.

Guest User2026-09-10
It was quite difficult due to the rainy weather, but you took such good care of everyone and were very kind to us. Thank you, Guide Sai Toshiko. Thanks to your kind guidance, I had a wonderful time touring rainy Kyoto and am returning to Korea. If I ever travel to Japan again, I would love to see you again!

Reviews: Cultural pilgrimage in Kyoto: Kinkaku-ji + Fushimi Inari Taisha, a 1-day tour of ancient charm
Guest User2026-09-02
It was my first time visiting Kyoto. However, my friend and I were the only Koreans on the tour. The Korean-speaking guide, Mr. Sai, was incredibly cheerful and kind!! He explained the tourist attractions and Japanese culture in advance and even taught us some simple Japanese. Although the weather was extremely hot, he made every effort to guide us as best as he could. He also took so many photos for us 😭 I was so grateful. If I visit Osaka again, I plan to sign up for this tour again! Even after the tour, he introduced us to great restaurants and tourist spots in Osaka and treated us kindly until the very end.
