A trip to Kyoto and Osaka in one day
Description
If you want to visit as many cities as possible during your limited stay in Japan. In such cases, private car tours are recommended. Avoid crowded buses, tedious train transfers, and expensive taxies. I will cover all major sightseeing spots in Kyoto and Osaka in one day in comfort! Please make your reservations well in advance, as rental cars must be arranged. The fee includes rental car, insurance, gasoline, highway tolls, and parking. No further transportation fees are required! For up to 4 people, I will use Toyota Roomy. For up to 6 people, I will use Toyota Noah. The itinerary is just an example, destinations can be changed according to your needs. More than you think, English is not spoken in Japan. To enjoy a trouble-free trip, please contact me!

Arashiyama Bamboo Grove Lane is one of Kyoto's most popular tourist spots, with a 400-meter promenade lined with tall bamboo trees. There are also many restaurants and souvenir stores nearby.
One of Kyoto's representative tourist attractions. It is called Kinkakuji Temple because of the gold leaf on the inside and outside of the building (kin means gold).
Kiyomizudera is designated as a UNESCO world heritage site categorized as a Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto, well known for the huge stage that it has.
Fushimi Inari Taisha has its main shrine at the foot of Mt. It is the head shrine of the approximately 30,000 Inari shrines in Japan. It is especially famous for its many torii gates, called “Senbon (a thousand) -torii.”
One of the most iconic place in Osaka.

If you want to tour these two cities in one day FROM TOKYO, it can be done and expertly with Yoshiroh. He completely allowed us to customize the sites we wanted to see. He had a great deal of information on the sites and walked us to museum entrances and throughout the neighborhoods. My wife and I wanted to buy Kimonos to wear as housecoats for lounging, and he went out of his way to find plenty of time to take us to incredible discount stores in the historical Gihon geisha district. He patiently translated for us to the sellers. Our selections were outstanding and saved us tons of money! He even walked us to the platform at the Kyoto Station to ensure we boarded the correct Bullet Train back to Tokyo, after a long memorable day. Yoshiroh is a gem and a credit to Viator. As a gentleman in courtesy and respect, he is first rate!
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. I am truly delighted to hear that you both enjoyed your day, especially given the tight schedule of visiting two cities in one day. It was my pleasure to customize the itinerary to match your interests and to share the history and atmosphere of each location with you. It was an honor to spend the day with you both, and I truly appreciate your warm words. I hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Japan again in the future.
Yoshi was fantastic and truly great help even translating. Had a baby with me and my wife and it was truly great.
I am so glad you are pleased! Please come visit Japan again!
