Reviews: Kyoto Kifune Shrine, Arashiyama, and Sanzen-in Temples: A 9-person Small Group Tour to Enjoy the Cool Summer and Autumn Leaves
Guest User2026-02-07
On February 6th, we visited Sanzen-in Temple, Kibune, and Arashiyama. Our tour guide was Jiang Jun (Fukuda Hiroichi), and I would give him a five-star rating! The bus was a small, clean vehicle, although the seating was quite small. But that's typical for Japanese buses, so there's not much to do about it. The departure and return times for the attractions were well-managed. The driver was very attentive and responsible in answering our questions, and driving felt very safe. Since the passengers were all quite quiet and reserved, the bus was relatively quiet with little guided tour, which I believe is understandable, as he needed to concentrate on driving. Therefore, the lack of detailed explanations of the attractions was acceptable. One thing to note is that the driver showed me the seats for the Arashiyama sightseeing train, but when we arrived, we found that the cable car was closed in winter. Please be aware of this when you go!★

Had a wonderful trip with Amy today! She was more than a guide she not only shared interesting stories and profound travel tips, she also recommended great food and even served as our private photographer on the bus. Her energy and professionalism made the experience even more special. I highly recommend my friends to come and play with her trip too!★

Reviews: Kyoto Arashiyama 1-day Tour [Sagano Scenic Railway, Bamboo Forest Path, Tenryu-ji Temple] Visit Hidden Gems
Guest User2025-07-03
The trip to Lushan + Sanqianyuan booked this time was great. Traveling with a baby, there was almost 37 degrees of high temperature that day, and at least 3-4 degrees was lower in the Sanqianyuan. The three thousand yards were full of green eyes, and many people were posing there. There are many more people in Lushan than 3,000 courtyards. It is recommended to have lunch here. Many restaurants only accept cash. Remember to bring cash. Children with children are best to book the tickets for Lushan trains in advance. The customer service of the root travel agency asks what time it is more convenient to book. The small train travel time is 1 hour. We also saw someone drifting from the small train, but there is no time. Come next time. The tour guide Liu Ling wants to say in particular, the car is very enthusiastic to explain to everyone, before the train time, he also took everyone to the station, the small train came back and presented the children Lushan small refrigerator stickers.★

Reviews: Osaka & Kyoto Must-Visit Attractions: Wishes at Katsuo-ji + Scenic Arashiyama in Kyoto + Golden Pavilion Pilgrimage
Guest User2026-02-04
I decided to join this trip on a whim, and it turned out to be the best travel experience I've had recently! All three attractions are hidden in the mountains or suburbs, and it would have been really difficult to get around by public transportation. Luckily, we had a thoughtful driver and a warm and welcoming guide who took care of us throughout the trip, and I felt incredibly welcome from the moment I boarded the bus.
