Great experience, Don't skip because of rain
Very beautiful scenery and a great experience. It does require a decent bit of walking. Our guide, Takuma, was very knowledgeable and helpful; he also gave good recommendations on nearby spots. It rained the day of our tour so most people canceled, but I'm glad we still decided to go, as because of the rain there really weren't many others there. So I wouldnt skip out just because of rain.

A temple with 1200 statues is unique in the world and a must see place, walking on the road next to the temple was the best experience. The Baboo Garden was very crowded but we still enjoyed the nature walk.

Amazing Kyoto
Tour guide professional and informative. So much to see and learn about Kyoto. We had a great time. My suggestion is for you to come to Kyoto in Spring (Cherry Blossoms) or Autumn. Summer in Kyoto is hot and humid but if you’re someone who don’t mind the hot and humid weather, Japan is a must see country: history; culture; aesthetics, and so much more.
