Reviews: Kyoto & Nara Classic Day Tour with Friendly Deer
_TIKR******tme2wy2026-02-09
Thanks to our guide, Seokbong Oh, it was a truly enjoyable, fulfilling, and unforgettable trip. Most tours are focused on shrines, so I signed up to see more. He even checked complex road conditions in real time, which made for an efficient tour. He even recommended local restaurants and must-eat convenience store food! I give him full marks!!!!!

Reviews: Kyoto and Nara Day Tour │ Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine + Nara Park
Anonymous user2025-11-19
Kyoto and Nara are must-see destinations on any Kansai trip. Every corner of Kyoto exudes elegance and Zen-like tranquility; in Nara, the ancient trees and gentle, bowing deer of Todai-ji Temple add a touch of dynamism to this ancient capital. It was a very enjoyable trip. Our guide, Xiao Tian, ​​was very nice and provided excellent service, introducing attractions and offering suggestions for the itinerary. The other members of our group were also very punctual, and the atmosphere was wonderful.

Reviews: Amanohashidate Sandbar & Ine Funaya Village Tour with Optional Sea Cruise
Guest user2025-12-02
🌳 3 Must-Do Things at Amanohashidate 1️⃣ Climb to the top of "Umbrella Pine Park" for a bird's-eye view of the sandbar → Take the cable car to the top (round trip ¥720), and take a "reverse Fuji" composition from the viewpoint overlooking the sea. → Hidden spot: The west side of the observation deck at the top of the mountain offers a stunning view of the sandbar and the Aso Sea side-by-side! 2️⃣ Walk barefoot on the "Natural White Sand Beach" → Take off your shoes and walk on 2km of pure white sand. The seawater washing over your ankles at high tide is incredibly soothing. → Rent a bicycle (¥500/hour) and chase seagulls along the sandbar, feeling the shape of the wind. 3️⃣ Visit "Chieunji Temple" for amulets → Vermilion torii gates paired with century-old pine trees; seek amulets for academic success/marriage (from ¥800). → Touch the "Manjushri Wisdom Wheel" and spin it three times; legend says it will make you smarter!

Reviews: Japan Kyoto Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Yasaka Shrine + Nara Park + Fushimi Inari Shrine One-Day Tour
ruxrua2026-02-09
Thanks to our guide, Seokbong Oh, our entire trip was incredibly comfortable and enjoyable!!! From the moment we met, his friendly tone and demeanor immediately eased my nerves. He also kept us entertained throughout the trip, ensuring we never got bored. He wasn't just a tour of the local sights; he explained the history and background of each area in an easy-to-understand way, which made both my parents and grandparents incredibly satisfied. There were many moments where we nodded in agreement, thinking, "Oh, so that's what this place means!" 😄 He also thoughtfully recommended restaurants to each of us, focusing on places frequented by locals rather than tourist destinations. That really gave us a sense of trust! Everything was so delicious that my family and I kept saying things like, "This place is definitely different, lol." I think these little details really elevate the quality of the trip. They kept the travel time interesting and enjoyable, making it feel like the journey wasn't too long. They also made sure to provide great photo spots and breaks! Since this is a family trip, these kind of considerations are really important, and I was so grateful for their meticulous attention to detail. 😍 I highly recommend this to anyone considering a family trip to Osaka or Kyoto. If I ever visit this area again, I would definitely choose this place again :) Thanks to our guide, Seokbong Oh, we made so many wonderful memories. Thank you!!

I felt this was a truly heartwarming trip to Kyoto! From the magnificent golden splendor of Kinkaku-ji to the thousand torii gates of Fushimi Inari Shrine, every stop was breathtaking and thought-provoking. The tour guide was knowledgeable, articulate, and incredibly attentive, patiently answering all our questions.
