Resplan
Fushimi Inari är en av Kyotos mest ikoniska helgedomar, känd för sina tusentals levande röda toriiportar som bildar natursköna vägar uppför det skogbeklädda Mount Inari. Tillägnad Inari, risets och välståndets gud.
Arashiyama har varit ett populärt resmål sedan Heianperioden (794–1185), då adelsmän kom hit för att njuta av det vackra säsongslandskapet. Området är särskilt känt för körsbärsblommor på våren och färgglada löv på hösten. Bambulunden är en av Arashiyamas mest ikoniska platser. Att vandra genom den höga, vajande bambun skapar en fridfull och nästan utomjordisk upplevelse. Förr användes bambu också till verktyg och byggmaterial i det dagliga livet.
Arashiyama Bamboo Forest är en av Kyotos främsta attraktioner och erbjuder en fridfull tillflyktsort omgiven av tusentals höga bambustjälkar.
Arashiyama Kimono-skogen är en av Kyotos dolda pärlor – en stig med upplysta konststolpar i kimonostil som visar upp Japans eleganta textildesign.
Togetsukyo Bridge, som betyder ”månkorsningsbron”, är ett känt landmärke i Arashiyama. Det är den perfekta platsen att njuta av den naturliga skönheten i floden, bergen och växlande årstider.
Monkey Park Iwatayama ligger på ett litet berg i Arashiyama, Kyoto. Efter en kort vandring (ca 20 minuter) når du toppen, där över 100 vilda japanska makaker lever fritt. Till skillnad från ett zoo är aporna inte i burar – du går in i deras utrymme. Du kan njuta av fantastisk panoramautsikt över Kyoto stad från toppen, och även mata aporna med speciella snacks. Det är en rolig och unik upplevelse, speciellt för familjer och naturälskare!

We had the most lovely day with Ikki. He is the perfect tour guide — very knowledgeable, with great local insight, and he puts everything into context by adding interesting stories along the way. He also acted as our private photographer throughout the day, always making sure we got the best shots. Ikki is incredibly easy-going and friendly, and he made sure everyone in our group felt included and comfortable — even our teenager, which we really appreciated. The tour itself was a perfect mix of temples and history, beautiful nature, and a close-up experience with the monkeys. It was definitely worth climbing up to the monkey park, both for the experience and for the stunning view over the Kyoto area. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

I am so glad I picked this tour. Ikki-San did a wonderful job showing us his beautiful city. It was also very good to start early since Fushimi Inari was the highlight of the trip for me. He took time to explain items along the way & answer questions. It is best to go early since it gets extremely busy as the day goes on. He helped coordinate trains & took pictures along the way that was great bonus! The bamboo forest was amazing and visited monkey preserve on top of mountain that had great views of Kyoto as well. Be advised that it is a elevated hike so be prepared with comfortable attire & shoes, but there were plenty areas for break. The entire morning was so enjoyable & could not ask for a better or more thoughtful guide!

Ikki was a delight as a tour guide. He communicated instructions beforehand so we knew what to expect as I had a young daughter on the tour. He took great care to inform us of our tour and kept us interested and moving so we had so much time at the actual attractions! Polite, respectful, and informative. Additionally he took pictures and sent them to us so we didn’t have to always have our phones out. And he gave us advice on the rest of our trip that he did not have to do but was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful private half-day tour by Ikki! He was knowledgeable, explained things well, thoughtful, respectful and attentive. Early Bird Tour is the time to go! Nice not to be rushed and at places before the crowd. Enjoyed the short train rides, walks and moderate hike; Fushimi Inari-taisha Temple, Aroshiyama Bamboo Forest, Kimono Forest, Togetsukyo Bridge and River and Monkey Park were so much more enjoyable because of Ikki! Thankful for his photos! (Glad there were benches to rest on the hike to Monkey Park.) Also appreciate his restaurant recommendations! Our first trip to Japan! We will do this tour again on our next trip back. Thank you Ikki!
