What To Expect

1. Todai-ji Temple Todaiji temple, "Eastern Great Temple" is a Buddhist temple complex that was once one of the powerful Seven Great Temples, located in the city of Nara, Japan. Though it was originally founded in the year 738 CE, Tōdai-ji was not opened until the year 752 CE. The temple has undergone several reconstructions since then, with the most significant reconstruction (that of the Great Buddha Hall) taking place in 1709. The temple also serves as the Japanese headquarters of the Kegon school of Buddhism. The temple is a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site as one of the "Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara", together with seven other sites including temples, shrines and places in the city of Nara. 1 hour 30 minutes

2. Nara Park Alongside Naramachi and Nishinokyo, Nara Park is one of the must-see areas in Nara City. The vast area covers 660 hectares and is renowned for its free-roaming deer and world famous temples. Feeding the deer is an attraction in itself and special crackers are on sale all around the park. For human refreshments, there are traditional tea houses as well as kiosks selling snacks and souvenirs. 30 minutes

3. Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine Fushimi Inari Taisha. Designated as an Important Cultural Property, the main shrine building contains five shrines together, these five pillars of Fushimi Inari Taisha are named for the great virtues of Inari Okami that they embody. Inari Okami is known as a deity of business prosperity, the prosperity of industries, the safety of households, safety in traffic and improvement in the performing arts. The 'Senbon Torii' or 1000 tori gates are donations by individuals and companies, and you will find the donator's name and the date of the donation inscribed on the back of each gate. 1 hour 30 minutes

4. Kinkakuji Temple Its famous Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku)—actually a pagoda made to house the sacred relics of the Buddha—has given this temple the popular name of Kinkaku-ji (“Temple of the Golden Pavilion”), however the official name of this branch temple of the Rinzai-sect Zen temple of Shokoku-ji is Rokuon-ji. The temple was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. 1 hour

5. Arashiyama Kimono Forest The Kimono Forest is an art installation around the Arashiyama terminal station of the Keifuku Randen Tram Line. Kimono Forest is composed of 600 clear, acrylic cylinders standing 2 meters tall. Within each cylinder is an example of kimono fabric design. There are a total of 32 different traditional Kyo-yuzen designs, Kyo-yuzen being the name for a style of fabric dyeing developed in Kyoto during the Edo Period. 30 minutes

6. Arashiyama The Arashiyama Bamboo Forest in Kyoto is a popular attraction known for its spectacular scenery. With gentle breezes rustling the leaves as they blow through the bamboo, it's a great place to escape the heat of summer while taking gorgeous photos as memories of your travels. 1 hour

Well worth the trip! And John was amazing

John was so wonderful! He was hilarious, thoughtful, and a great tour guide. I enjoyed his humor, and me made my trip very special. He was also able to hit all of the highlights I wanted. Thank you, John! :)

Kyota and Nara with Steven

Published on Jun, 2024

Steven was a great guide. He ensured that we saw the important sites even though we toured during a "typhoon." It rained the entire day. He recommended a perfect spot for lunch. The restaurant had a robot server which was very interesting and added to the experience. He made an extra effort to save the day which could have been a "wash out." Pun intended! Steven's English was perfectly understandable. His tour not only provided the sites but also gave us a feel for the culture. He was also a good driver and that made a difference when compared to other experiences. Steven is friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough and I recommend his tour and look forward to another trip with him when the weather is in our favor.

Had an absolutely wonderful time exploring Kyoto and Osaka . John was our guide.He is very polite , funny and a very safe driver. I loved how flexible and organize this company is. Aiko is the owner and she helped us a lot to plan the right itinerary for the day based on our interest. She also gave us a lot of great recommendations for the upcoming days . I highly recommend this company for private tours. Both John and Aiko are wonderful people and I feel really blessed that our path crossed . Thank you again for a wonderful memories that you created for us

Hit all the major spots

Published on May, 2024

The tour guide was very nice and easy to talk to, as well as knowledgeable about the attractions. This is definitely a good way to knock all the major Kyoto tourist attractions off your list.

Worthwhile to do !

Published on May, 2024

We went to Nara, Golden Temple, Bamboo Garden and Fushimi Inari ! Our driver Don was helpful, informative and attentive to our wishes and needs. He took us to all the places we wanted to go. He was also a very good driver and a very nice person.
