Great tour for family/kids

Published on Apr, 2025

Definitely a must see if you're in Kyoto or Osaka. This is a great tour to one of many UNISECO Heritage sights. Our guide was Kingo was fantastic. His knowledge and passion for the rich culture and history of the area was impressive. Deer park is fun for kids, the deer can get a little aggressive if you hide food, but if you bow they bow back which was pretty cool. I highly recommend this tour, and make sure you fit in the Golden Shrine.

Moto was a very profesional and experienced with this tour. We enjoyed the deer and the monkeys. We had a great time.

Must do for people who have short stay in Japan

Published on May, 2024

Very well organized trip We saw very impressive Buddha Temple and Shinto Shrine in Nara. We were fascinated with Bamboo forest. Guide was very attentive, took lots of pictures and even when we had extra time left took us to Kyoto to explore Nijo castle which was not on itinerary that we are very appreciative that otherwise we would not have a chance to see it. Guide also helped us to make dinner reservation for after the trip We were very happy how we spent our time
