Had a wonderful time! Roman was great! He was very knowledgeable and made it a great experience! He went above and beyond! Would highly recommend the tour, especially with him!
We had a good tour with Beck. We were 6 persons in the tour - 3 groups- and he was able to handle each group’s concerns. He gave detailed history and information about Fushimi Inari and we did not feel rushed during this tour. Would recommend this tour and avoid the crowds!! 👌🏼
Highly recommend this tour! It is the only guided tour we booked during this Japan trip, and it turned out to be a great experience! Our guide, Beck, is knowledgeable and considerate; we learned a great deal about Japanese Shintoism from him. The place looks magical at dusk; it is less crowded and cooler than during the day, and the panoramic night view of Kyoto from the mountain top is a bonus. While walking up the steps through the consecutive shrine gates, you feel like traveling through time, seeing light receding from the gates gradually. My 11-year old son was very excited and engaged the whole time. It will be a memorable and unique experience for him.
This is the only guided tour we booked during this Japan trip. We decided to visit Fushimi Inari in the evening to avoid the crowd and heat, and it turned out to be a great idea. Our guide Beck is very knowledgeable and considerate, the shrines look beautiful at dusk, and the panoramic night view of Kyoto from the mountain top is a bonus. It is a very unique and worthwhile experience. We recommend this tour and Beck to everyone!
Our guide was Phoebe and she was excellent. Spoke good English, took pictures, helped us make wishes at the various shrines, answered lots of questions, was very friendly, and just a lovely person.
Loved the tour and especially the ability to sightsee without the crowd. The night time definitely adds to the atmosphere! Roman was a great guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and happy to share his experience about living in Japan.
Very nice experience, very kind guide who explains well; the visit was truly enjoyable and very interesting. I learned a lot; I highly recommend Roman, an excellent guide. Thank you again.
We had a wonderful experience on this night tour with Hiro. The tour was very engaging and interesting from start to finish. We learned many fascinating details about the Shinto religion, its traditions, and its significance in Japanese culture. Taking the tour in the evening was especially enjoyable, as the atmosphere was peaceful and there were far fewer crowds than during the day. It made the visit feel much more special and authentic. Hiro knows the area exceptionally well and shared many local stories and hidden details that we would never have discovered on our own. As he told us, he used to play in the forest behind the shrine when he was a child, which made his stories even more personal and memorable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a deeper understanding of the shrine, the local culture, and the surrounding area. Thank you, Hiro, for such a fantastic experience!
This tour was incredibly magical at night. There were hardly any other people around, and a light misty rain added to the mystique. Our guide Hiro did an exceptional job leading our group and bringing everyone together. Absolutely loved this tour.
We had a great tour of Fushimi Inari with Roman! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience fun and easy to follow. We even got lucky and saw a wild boar during the hike, which made it extra memorable. Highly recommend Roman if you want a great guide in Kyoto!
