Reviews: Japan Kyoto Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Yasaka Shrine + Nara Park + Fushimi Inari Shrine One-Day Tour
Guest User2026-01-08
On the second day of my trip to Osaka, Japan, I signed up for a one-day bus tour of Kyoto and Nara, and it went smoothly! I was a bit lost at the starting point, but thanks to the kindness of our guide, Seo Geum-bong, I was able to depart safely! It was so convenient to have a Korean guide. If you're worried about the language barrier, sign up without hesitation! Haha. Thank you so much for helping our family trip. We had a great time chatting about Japanese history and culture, and we were able to resolve our questions. You even took beautiful family photos for us. ^^ If I get the chance, I'd definitely sign up again! Thank you, guide Seo Geum-bong~^^★

Reviews: Kyoto + Nara Encounter Cute Deer Classic Panoramic one-day tour[Upgradeable to 9-person Small Group Hotel Pickup]
Guest User2025-08-12
The tour guide contacted very promptly, the route of the itinerary was reasonable, the choice of attractions was also very representative, very classic, and there was a suitable time to play after the attractions. It is a very nice choice for not familiar with the traffic route and not wanting to bother to do the strategy. Very recommended!★

Reviews: Kyoto + Nara Ancient Capitals Day Trip: 9-person group available with door-to-door service | Cute deer & Kiyomizu-dera Temple & Ninenzaka
Guest User2025-11-09
When traveling without wanting to plan ahead but still wanting to see the sights, signing up for a day tour is a hassle-free option. Based on Ctrip's reputation for reliable quality, I chose their day tour this time, and it was excellent. Our tour leader, Ms. Jiang, was incredibly helpful, from informing us of the meeting point before departure to providing directions at the end. She patiently explained each attraction, and I learned a great deal from her. A huge thank you to Ms. Jiang for treating us to delicious pudding at her own expense! My trip to Osaka was wonderful, and these memories will stay with me for a long time!★

Reviews: one-day tour of Kiyomizu Temple in Nara, Kyoto, Japan [9-person small group optional|Hotel pickup|Chinese and English driver guide
Guest User2025-08-30
The time was too short. We didn't arrive back in Osaka at the designated time (6:30 PM) as part of the program, and the driver and guide had already returned to Osaka at 5 PM! It was such a rush. We arrived at Kiyomizu-dera Temple at 12:35 PM and had to board the bus back to Osaka at 3:35 PM. We went to Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, then to Gion, leaving us no time to visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple (3 hours with meals included). We also visited nearby areas, leaving us no time to visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple. A half-hour extra would have been perfect.★

Reviews: A Day Trip to Kyoto and Nara, Japan (Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine, and Deer Meet in Nara Park)
Guest User2025-11-17
On this trip, I was truly impressed by the kindness of our guide, Chuhong. He explained the entire itinerary in detail, and most importantly, I was able to follow the itinerary comfortably without being pressured.
Cheongsusa Temple, in particular, was a spectacular sight, with its clear, tranquil atmosphere and the temple blending seamlessly with nature. If you're traveling with children, I highly recommend Nara Deer Park. My elementary school student only remembers feeding the deer. Overall, it was a satisfying trip, and I highly recommend it to families.
