Very comfy ride!
The car was excellent and the driver did a good job. He was lost a couple of times, but all in all it went well.

Kiyomizu-dera (清水寺, Kiyomizu Temple, "Pure Water Monastery") is a Buddhist temple located in eastern Kyoto, Japan.
Nishiki Market (錦市場, Nishiki Ichiba) is a narrow, five block long shopping street lined by more than one hundred shops and restaurants. Known as "Kyoto's Kitchen", this lively retail market specializes in all things food related, like fresh seafood, produce, knives and cookware, and is a great place to find seasonal foods and Kyoto specialties, such as Japanese sweets, pickles, dried seafood and sushi
Lunch at the attraction at your own expense
Gion (祇園) is Kyoto's most famous geisha district, located around Shijo Avenue between Yasaka Shrine in the east and the Kamo River in the west. It is filled with shops, restaurants and ochaya (teahouses), where geiko (Kyoto dialect for geisha) and maiko (geiko apprentices) entertain.
Kinkakuji (金閣寺, Golden Pavilion) is a Zen temple in northern Kyoto whose top two floors are completely covered in gold leaf. Formally known as Rokuonji, the temple was the retirement villa of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and according to his will it became a Zen temple of the Rinzai sect after his death in 1408. Kinkakuji was the inspiration for the similarly named Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion), built by Yoshimitsu's grandson, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, on the other side of the city a few decades later.
Fushimi Inari Shrine (伏見稲荷大社, Fushimi Inari Taisha) is an important Shinto shrine in southern Kyoto. It is famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates, which straddle a network of trails behind its main buildings. The trails lead into the wooded forest of the sacred Mount Inari, which stands at 233 meters and belongs to the shrine grounds.

A must see if ever visiting Osaka or Kyoto.
Despite the rain we had a beautiful experience. Our private driver Togetsu was very friendly, and he spoke English very well and was extremely informative. We were late returning from one of the excursions, and he was kind and met us with an umbrella in the downpour. Will definitely recommend.

Absolutely incredible...
Absolutely incredible experience on the Osaka and Kyoto tour! Every detail was thoughtfully planned, making it an effortless and immersive journey. Our guide was knowledgeable, personable, and made the history and culture of each site come alive. Highlights included Osaka Castle. The mix of historical sites, local food, and scenic beauty gave a perfect snapshot of Japan’s uniqueness. We felt well-cared for the entire time and walked away with unforgettable memories. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Japan!
