Perfect tour if you want to get away from busy Kyoto and visit sites not often seen. Our tour guide Shin was lovely and spoke perfect English.

Early morning Kyoto and Uji tour
My husband and I traveled from Osaka to
Kyoto to do the early morning tour. The tour was great and worth doing the early morning commute to Kyoto. Genki our tour guide was very knowledgeable and very well spoken the information he gave us made the tour very interesting. You can see that he loves sharing the history of the Temples, Shrines, Kyoto and Uji. Early morning you avoid the crowds and it is nice and cool. It was very well paced and comfortable. Thank you Genki for a great tour, we will definitely book another tour with you when we return to Japan.

Great Experience!
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient. I learnt a lot and I would definitely recommend this tour. If you find all 108 foxes, you will have good luck for the rest of the year! Ganbatte!!

History thaws the soul
Though it was a chilly night, the tales of the past offered warmth thanks to the tour guide. There is a lot to learn, but our tour guide kept it short and spicy which I appreciate since my
Fingers are quickly turning into popsicles.

Peacefull Uji trip
Our guide Genki was very knowledgeable with explaining the differences between Shinto and Buddhism. He gave us just enough information that we could retain it. The morning tour is not crowded, and we had lots of space around us. We didn't rush so we could enjoy our morning exploration of Uji. Genki gave us also a good advice for lunch {it was delicious) and where to shop for a good tea. Thank you, Genki, for a lovely morning

Best tour ever
Absolutely fantastic tour experience! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, engaging, and enjoyable. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, which made the entire journey even more memorable. The itinerary was perfectly balanced — enough time at each stop without feeling rushed. The transportation was comfortable, and all logistics ran smoothly. We visited some breathtaking spots that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. It was clear that a lot of thought went into planning every detail. This tour offered great value and truly exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the area with a fun, informative, and hassle-free experience. I’d gladly book with this company again in the future!
