Great tour! We didn’t know exactly what to expect but we weren’t disappointed. We challenged ourselves to go to the summit of the Torii gates. Our wonderful guide didn’t pressure us and prepared us for what it would be like.
We learned so much along the way and we would highly recommend!

Great experience
Alex was a very good guide, he adapted the tour well to our needs
事業者からの返答
Alex’s adaptability made our Fushimi Inari walk feel uniquely yours—he even adjusted pacing when Karen’s group paused to chat about local tea rituals. Our small-group style allowed such personal touches, and we’re glad Karen noticed. We hope you’ll explore Kyoto again soon!

Alejo is highly recommended!!!
Alejo gave us a dynamic and fun tour, kind to the children
事業者からの返答
Alejo’s knack for blending adventure with cultural magic made our Kyoto tour unforgettable, especially at Fushimi Inari Taisha. His ability to keep the little ones engaged without sacrificing the depth of the experience was a huge win. We’d love to see you again—maybe next time with a new group of explorers or a different season.

Real Kyoto
We had a wonderful tour with Ceci. He has managed to fully immerse us in Japanese culture. 100x100 recommended if you want to know the most beautiful corners of Kyoto. Plus it makes with iPhone almost professional photos. Thank you so much!!

The Human Touch
After a disappointingly impersonal and rushed guided group tour in Tokyo, we took a different approach in Kyoto and hired a private guide to walk us through the sprawling landscape of Fushimi Inari, the shrine of a thousand gates. Our guide, Vincent, certainly delivered.
He tailored his explanations to our specific interests and tirelessly answered our myriad questions ranging from the heavily intertwined religious traditions of Shintoism and Japanese Buddhism to living conditions in Japan (e.g. work, taxes, government programs etc). As we had visited many sights and museums prior to the tour, Vincent's explanations allowed us to fill in a number of blanks and connect the dots between previously haphazard bits of knowledge.
First in passing and later more deliberately, we also got to know the person guiding us: a globetrotter-come-Japanese-resident, former and perhaps future massage teacher, a seasoned guide whose dry sense of humor seemed like a cracked coat of paint through which boyhood dreams could still be glimpsed on occasion - in short, a real character.
From the bottom of the shrine all the way to the top and back, time flew for us, so we were shocked to hear that most tourists opt out of the shrine's higher portions. We would strongly recommend that you follow our footsteps into the calmer, much less crowded upper shrines.
At one point during our three-hour tour, we asked Vincent for his thoughts on AI and tourism. While he suspects that tourists will eventually opt for AI guides over human ones, we aren't so sure: our great experience at Fushimi Inari seems quite inextricable from the unique person that showed us around - Merci Vincent !

Hiking Inari and seeing the gates was worth it. The guide was knowledgeable, entertaining and energetic.
