Itinerary
Daikakuji Temple is an essential stop on the ONE PIECE pilgrimage, as a rare signed drawing of Luffy by ONE PIECE author Eiichiro Oda is proudly exhibited here! This valuable temple was founded on the site of the detached palace of Emperor Saga, making it a highly prestigious institution with deep Imperial ties. It is also the head temple of ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement).
Walk through the enchanting Bamboo Forest Path. Step into a magical world where soaring green bamboo stalks reach for the sky. As the sunlight filters through the leaves, it creates a serene atmosphere perfect for photography. Listen to the rustling of the bamboo in the wind—a sound that defines the beauty of Japanese nature.
Kurumazaki Shrine is a significant stop for ONE PIECE fans, famous for being the place where the Straw Hat Pirates are officially listed on the shrine, thanks to their generous donation! The shrine is also widely revered as the deity of performing arts (Geinō), attracting numerous celebrities, actors, singers, and artists who pray for success and fame in their careers. Visit this shrine to see the beloved pirates' names listed amongst Japan's entertainers, and to pray for good fortune and artistic success!
Stop at the ONE PIECE Official Store! You'll have time to find treasures and get a shot: a picture with Luffy!
The main hall of Kennin-ji Temple, which is the oldest Zen temple in Kyoto, features a ceiling painting of twin dragons, which is the model for Kaido.
Go through Geisha Street It’s a chance to learn about the 400-year history of Geisha culture.

A perfect tour - an ideal mixture of stuff for the kids (One Piece) and the adults (temples and shrines.) Miyu was knowledgeable and engaging, and her English was excellent. The total tour length was about four hours. Highly recommended.
Wow, thank you so much for the amazing review! I’m smiling from ear to ear reading this. 😊 I’m so happy that we found that "Perfect Mix" for your family! Balancing the history of our beautiful temples with the world of One Piece is my absolute favorite way to show off Kyoto, and I’m thrilled that both the kids and the adults had a blast. Also, thank you for the lovely compliment on my English! It means a lot to me. 💬✨ We managed to pack so much adventure into those four hours—time really flies when you're having fun with a great crew! Please give my best to the kids! I hope they’re still enjoying their One Piece treasures. You’re welcome back to join my crew for another tour anytime! 🍖🚢 Stay awesome and keep exploring! Best, Miyu
Miyu was an amazing guide, showing us wonderful Kyoto highlights that also have connection to the One Piece universe. My kids, 7 and 10, had a great time, and we enjoyed visiting temples, shrines, and the bamboo forest, finishing off at a store selling a ton of One Piece merch. Miyu was kind and thoughtful, and kept the kids engaged.
Hi Nicole! Thank you so much for the super kind review! Reading this totally made my day. 🌟 I had such a blast exploring Kyoto with you and your amazing kids! They were so energetic and fun to be around—I'm so glad they stayed engaged throughout our "treasure hunt" through the temples and the bamboo forest. 🎋 It was especially fun to geek out over the One Piece connections together! I hope they found some legendary loot at the merch store to take back home. 🍖🏴☠️ You have such a lovely family, and it was a true highlight for me to be your guide. Please tell the little Straw Hat pirates I said hello! Hope to see you guys again for another adventure in Kansai someday. Stay awesome! Best, Miyu
We had a fun day with Miyu! We saw some hidden treasures and received ‘Wanted Posters’ of us. Cool add-on.
It was a blast guiding you! I’m so glad you enjoyed the hidden spots and the ‘Wanted Posters’ add-on! You were such a fun group to hang out with. Thanks for making my day as a guide so rewarding. Safe travels and hope to see you again!
This was such a fun experience! We got to see som very beautiful places of Kyoto and Miyu made sure we went to places where most people don't visit! So we had our own litte part of the bamboo forest where we got pictures for our wanted poster! We went to a pretty temple basically alone and seeing a Luffy drawing randomly on the wall in there was awesome! Probably my favourite part was the shrine in the middle with the characters names on! We even got to stop by the One Piece store! I loved everything about this and i know i wouldn't have seen this if I didn't come on this tour. Thank you Miyu for a great tour!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed our "off-the-beaten-path" adventure in Kyoto. Taking those "Wanted poster" photos in our private spot in the bamboo forest was such a highlight for me too! Finding that Luffy drawing at the temple really felt like fate, didn’t it? I’m glad we could nerd out over One Piece together and visit the store as well. It was a pleasure showing you around these special spots that most people miss. Hope to see you again on your next Grand Line adventure! Safe travels!
My son wanted the tour as he is an anime fan , Miyu was great and very informative , took us to monuments and. Shrines dedicated to one piece and was a great tour and she takes great panoramic pictures
Thank you for the kind words! I had a blast guiding you and your son. It’s always exciting to see the "ONE PIECE" world come to life at these historic locations! I’m so glad you liked the panoramic photos—I love capturing those wide views for my guests. Thank you for choosing my tour for your family adventure!
Miyu was a wonderful guide for the tour of Kyoto. It was a mixed of checking out real location while also seeing how some were related to the one piece. I found it very interesting to learn about Kyoto culture while also experience some enjoyment with the series I love. Miyu was very knowledge and a sweet tour guide. She provided great information for me on the tour and answer my questions I had. The locations were amazing to look at. If your looking to explore Kyoto while getting a mix of the influence used in anime such as One Piece, this is a great tour to take.
Thank you for such a kind and thoughtful review! I had a blast showing you around Kyoto. It’s always so much fun to see the city through the lens of ONE PIECE with someone who loves the series as much as I do. I’m thrilled that you found the cultural facts interesting too! Thank you for recommending my tour to others—it truly means a lot. Hope your next adventure is just as exciting!
Miyu was an excellent tour guide and offered an incredible experience for my friend and I! The best part was that she knew a lot of historical facts that made this tour a very pleasant and informative experience. And a ton of fun! As a plus, she also recommended great places to eat and hang out around Kyoto. I would 100% consider booking this tour guide again and I'm recommending to all my friends visiting Japan. Thank you Miyu! =)
Thank you for such a wonderful review! I’m so happy you enjoyed the tour and the history of Kyoto. It was a pleasure meeting you both, and I truly appreciate you recommending me to your friends.
It was also fun for One Piece fans, with visits to shrines related to character names and the ceiling painting at Kennin-ji that inspired Kaido. The area was not very crowded, so the tour was comfortable and relaxing. I highly recommend it.
Thank you for the review. I'm happy to hear that.
Miyu is a knowledge guide. She is not only a local figure in history, but also discusses topics related to ONE PIECE. When we walk around the Gion area, she talks about Geisha. She is young but she is a veteran guide. When I go to Japan again, I want to join this tour again.
Thank you for giving a good review！ It was really fun. I'm waiting for you to come to Japan again.
It was a great experience to be able to show people around the place where dresses are associated in one day! This will be my third time in Kyoto, and I have only visited famous temples, so I enjoyed the explanations this time! Also, if you have the opportunity, thank you.
