Reviews: Kyoto's ancient charm: A day trip to Fushimi Inari Shrine and Nara to feed the deer, with optional small group tours including hotel pick-up and drop-off.
Guest User2026-10-24
It was Friday, October 26/23, with Guide Oh Seok-bong's team. I had seen him mentioned quite a bit in reviews... and as expected, he made the whole trip fun and enjoyable with his cheerful wit and sense of humor. Fortunately, we had a weather fairy with bright sunshine, so the photos turned out beautifully. I followed his tips for each place—"Don't eat this" and "Make sure to stay far from this"—and wow, every choice was top-notch! If anyone is planning an Osaka-Kyoto trip, I definitely want to recommend this tour.

Reviews: Kyoto and Nara Day Tour │ Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine + Nara Park
Guest User2026-09-23
The entire itinerary was well-planned, with each segment lasting about an hour, making it very comfortable. The vehicle was in good condition, and the driver/guide were excellent service personnel—polite, courteous, and of high quality. Even at the end of the tour, they never asked for a positive review. Todai-ji Temple in Nara was truly breathtaking; its all-wood structure, unpainted, exudes a strong sense of historical gravitas and is well worth a visit. Fushimi Inari Shrine was just average. Time was a bit tight at the final attractions, such as Gion, but given it was a day trip, it's impossible to see everything. It would have been perfect if the driver/guide had provided brief introductions to each attraction beforehand.

Reviews: From Kyoto/Osaka: Zen Temples & Kifune Shrine Small-Group Cultural Experience Day Tour
Guest User2026-08-27
The tour is very friendly to travelers who walk 20,000 steps a day or more, but it's too packed and rushed for those who want to explore a place in depth. Nanzen-ji Temple, Sanzen-in Temple, and Kifune Shrine are all places worth spending half a day to appreciate. This time, I joined a tour to familiarize myself with the route, and I definitely want to come back on my own next time. We arrived in Kifune at 1:40 pm. Since this was our last stop, we decided to leave the tour with the friends we met along the way and have a more in-depth, leisurely tour. We experienced the riverbed, tried the Okumiya matcha tea, took the tram and then the subway, and enjoyed many other pleasant experiences along the Kamo River.

Guide Chu Hong, you are exceptionally beautiful. Thank you so much for your hard work interpreting in two languages. The tour was incredibly enjoyable, and I was so glad to travel to a place of my dreams. Thank you for your kind and beautiful guidance; thank you for your hard work and for making the day possible.

Reviews: Small group | Arashiyama · optional Sagano Romantic Train & Kifune Shrine & Sanzen-in 1-day tour | Osaka/Kyoto
Guest User2026-07-27
This place would be absolutely amazing if the autumn leaves were in full bloom; I guess I'll have to wait until next autumn to go again. But summer has its own unique beauty too; Kifune Shrine was also very nice, and the guides were all incredibly dedicated. Even though it was really hot, it was wonderful to experience different places in Kyoto!
