Itinerary

  • Byodoin Temple

    Byodo-in Phoenix Hall, is one of the most beautiful temples in Japan, no wonder it's drawn on Japanese 10-yen coins, expressing the pure land of the Buddhist heaven.

    1 hour

  • Shoju-in

    Seijuin-Temple is located in the south country-side of area of Kyoto. Although it needs an hour drive from Kyoto downtown, it's definitely worthwhile. It's the view of famous love-heart window in the tea room, which has been buzzed on Instagram many times. In this small mantra-Buddhist temple of 800 years, you can actually enter and walk inside the historical temple rooms known to be one of the most traditional Japanese styles. *700 yen as entry-fee and parking included in the tour!

    30 minutes

  • Wazuka-cho

    Drink the best and authentic Maccha tea (powdered green tea) at a cafe opened by local farmers of the famous Kyoto's Uji green tea, the no.1 brand in Japan. Eat Japanese traditional sweets (wagashi) made to be eaten with green tea!

    40 minutes

  • Ishitera Tea Plantation

    The green tea fields to the sky! The impressive "green" views of beutifully planted fields of Kyoto original green "Uji" tea are often introduced on Instagram and photographic websites as "one of the world best views" or "views you must see before you die". This place is located country-side of Kyoto Pref. where only accessible by cars. We park the car so you can get into the middle of fields and take as much photos as you want in the dreamy atmosphere.

Gorgeous Scenery, Wonderful Guide

Published on May, 2025

Our trip with Daiki to see the Uji green tea fields was a top highlight of our three weeks in Japan. We saw beautiful green terraced tea plantations, Ujigami (the oldest shrine in Japan) and enjoyed a delicious matcha dessert at a rustic Wazuka cafe. Daiki kindly took us to see the Genji Museum (at my request), if you like Japanese literature/history this a fantastic exoerience. His minivan is clean and comfy. Best of all, Daiki is friendly, easygoing, knowledgeable and so easy to talk to. We plan to book more tours with Daiki and you should too!

Worth every penny

Published on Apr, 2025

Our tour guide took us to the town where the farmers produced the best quality matcha and was able to buy local products from the farmers cooperative which help support the farming community. Even had a meal. Our guide was also very knowledgeable and ready to answer questions about Japanese culture. Highly recommended!

Varied and unique experiences in lovely countryside

Published on Mar, 2025

We did 3 different things on this private tour with Daiki, a fluent English speaker. First we caught magical weeping plum trees in peak blossom at Jonangu Temple. This was recommended by a local and we were one of few tourists there. The fragrance was amazing! Its off the beaten path so glad we had Daiki driving. Next we went to Uzi, which is like the Napa Valley for tea. Learned a lot and sampled different types of tea. The scenery was lovely. Finally we ended up at Byudoin Temple and Musuem. Lots of history and we learned a lot about Shintoism and Buddhism. Definitely recommend!

Highly Recommend

We had a wonderful day and saw nature and shrines that we wouldn’t have been able to otherwise experience and learned so much!
