Kyoto once flourished as the capital of Japan for over a thousand years until Tokyo became the capital and the emperor moved there in 1868. There are plenty of places worth visiting such as Arashiyama, which used to be the aristocrats’ summer resort, magnificent temples with delicate gardens, the alleys where geisha girls in kimono stroll, and the celebrated shrine with a tunnel of a thousand vermillion torii gates.
We will show you the sights that represent Kyoto for a whole day.

Kyoto has a lot of attractions (thousands of temples and hundreds of shrines) so you are faced with the problem of what to visit if you have limited time. It was great to see a one-day tour which would visit our musts in our Kyoto list: Fushimi Inari, the Golden Pavilion, Arashiyama bamboo grove, Ryoan Ji and Gion. We had a fantastic licensed guide, Noriko, who provided the needed context to the sites we visited. Her pacing was perfect. We covered all the stops in the itinerary and had fun experiencing public transportation (combination of subways, trams and taxi) in Kyoto. We would have wasted a lot of time going on our own and missed learning the interesting histories and backgrounds of the sites we visited. Thank you Noriko for an enjoyable and thorough tour!

We had a great day with Saori in Kyoto. She had a perfect itinerary pre planned. We were able to see all the significant locations we wanted to see. Saori was very well versed in local history and customs. She was the perfect guide to spend the day with. Thank you Saori!!

I love how we didn’t spend time trying to figure out how to get to the sites. Fuji took us to the most important places in Kyoto and gave us some facts and history about them!

We met our guide, Sunil, at 9 am at the JR Central Station and started our private tour of the bamboo forest, the Romani temple, the Golden Pavilion temple, walked the Gion District (Shiragawa Lane) and Fushimi Inari on a mildly wet cherry blossom filled spring day. It was really enjoyable, highly recommend this tour.

Going through Kyoto on a private tour with Yuka was absolutely perfect. Yuka was incredibly knowledgeable, and had mapped out an incredible tour for us. She was also very friendly, and concerned for our welfare since we did a lot of walking. Kyoto is a magnificent city, full of culture and history, and with Yuka guiding our tour, we learned much more that we ever could have on our own. Thank you for everything Yuka!!

Koichi san is an amazing guide that is government licensed. He is a wealth of knowledge and extremely flexible while still being able to keep you on schedule.

Seiya took us on a wonderful tour of Kyoto. He was at our hotel before the designated pickup time. He was very knowledgeable and provided us with a wealth of information. All the sites were fantastic and he knew all the places for the best pictures. It was well planned out for use of time. He was very nice and efficient. Well worth the money and we would highly recommend this tour.
