Kyoto-dagexcursie vanuit de haven van Kobe (Osaka).
Beschrijving
Ik woon in Kyoto, een stad waar ik echt van hou. Kyoto doet me denken aan iets wat ik vergeten was. In de drukte van het dagelijks leven heb ik vaak weinig tijd. Er zijn een paar plaatsen die ik van tijd tot tijd bezoek. Een rustige tuin omgeven door bomen, en een vijfhonderd jaar oude tempel doordrenkt van geschiedenis en traditie verwelkomen me. Er zijn nauwelijks mensen in de buurt. Het stromende water, de vallende bloemblaadjes, de met mos bedekte tuinen – al deze eenvoudige schoonheden zetten me aan het pauzeren en merken wat ik over het hoofd heb gezien. Rustig Kyoto raakt de ziel. Dit is het Kyoto dat ik met mijn gasten wil delen – niet alleen de beroemde bezienswaardigheden, maar de verborgen heiligdommen waar het hart kan ademen. Het enige wat je hoeft te doen is jezelf aan de kant van de natuur zetten. Ik weet zeker dat je het hart van Kyoto zult voelen door deze ontmoetingen.

Reisroute
Furukawa Local Market en Shirakawa Riverside Walking
Shoren-in: De brand die 300 jaar geleden in de binnenstad plaatsvond, verwoestte bijna de hele stad. Het keizerlijk paleis brandde af. De keizer verhuisde naar het oosten van de Kamogawa-rivier en woonde hier enkele jaren. Shorenin was dus de residentie van de keizer. Je kunt het keizerlijk paleis van Kyoto alleen van buitenaf zien, maar hier in Shorenin kun je de kamer van de keizer binnen zien. De culturele waarde ervan is van onschatbare waarde.

I can't really review the tour as it didn't happen. According to the guide, he cancelled the tour a week after our booking. I could not find a reference to that. But at any rate, the guide did not inform Viatour, and Viatour continued to inform us of our upcoming tour long after the alleged cancellation. At this point, we are still out approx $500.
According to the Viator Support Team, my cancellation was properly dealt with on the webpage. I'm sorry to hear that something wrong on the system.
Mike was a great guide. Had a wonderful experience. Learned a lot about Japanese history and culture along with the sites
Hi Ann, Thank you very much for your thoughtful message. I’m delighted to hear that you had a wonderful experience and enjoyed learning about Japanese history, culture, and the sites we visited together. It was truly a pleasure guiding you. Mike
Mike was a wonderful guide. Our ship arrived at noon so our full day tour was extended to two days. We enjoyed Kyoto, missed the crowds and saw many sites. He shared history and the spiritual side of historic places. A tour we will not forget
We spent a wonderful day with Rieko Ohmura , our tour guide She was patient, instructive and immersed us in the history of the sites that we were able to visit. She helped us navigate the Bullet train back to our destination. Truly a very pleasurable experience and day spent with Rieko. Definitely a way to spend a day in Kyoto.
I’m very glad you could experience Kyoto without the crowds and that the places we visited left a lasting impression. Your kind words mean a lot to me, and I will continue striving to provide memorable and meaningful experiences for my guests.
We saw four great sites with Mike--more than you could ever see on a ship tour. Mike was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He also helped us buy our bullet train tickets back to Kobe. Overall a great day (but taxis were expensive due to all the traffic).

We had an absolutely incredible experience on the Kyoto tour led by Mike! The destinations were thoughtfully selected, highlighting the most breathtaking and culturally rich spots in Kyoto. Mike was an outstanding guide—his deep knowledge, infectious enthusiasm, and impeccable attention to detail made every moment truly special. His passion for Kyoto’s history and culture shone through, creating a memorable and engaging journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Mike’s phenomenal tour to anyone exploring Kyoto!
Hi Torsten, Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful words about our Kyoto tour. I am truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the carefully selected destinations and that the cultural and historical stories made your journey memorable. Mike
Mike was the best. He took us around to visit Nijo Castle, Kinkakujiyu Kinkakuji, and Shoren-in Temple. We learned much about Japanese culture, the struggle and harmony between the emperor and shogun and samurai, Shinto and the zen gardens and its five elements. Fascinating! Thanks to Mike for taking care of our senior group of four and myself, and making sure we got back to our ship safely. We highly recommend doing this tour with Mike.
Thank you, John, for writing a review for me. "Strangers on the Water" reminded me of my university days, sweet but bitter memories of my youth. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. Hope for your success as an excellent scientist. Mike
