Great Tour in Kyoto
If you only have a short time in Kyoto, take this tour! Jihyo was fantastic, and so was Teri. The rain was crazy, but the tour was still fantastic. They gave great food suggestions. My wife had some of the best sushi she’s ever had. Really great value for the money.

Lovely tour of Kyoto temples and gardens
This was a great tour and our guide, Ayu, was wonderful. She was so sweet and knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting. She also recommended going to the nearby monkey park after the tour which was an amazing experience. Thank you, Ayu!

Kimono Tea Ceremony at Kyoto Maikoya, NISHIKIVacation15800803400, Sep 2026
Fabulous authentic tea ceremony experience!
This was a fabulous experience! Time is taken to get your hair done, you can choose your own kimono and are even given a hand bag to put your personal items in. Feels very authentic! Colours and choices of kimonos is great! Colours are beautiful and they make a nice job of your hair! The tea ceremony itself is very interesting. I chose this one because it showed actual seats rather than sitting in the floor - which I wouldn’t have been able to do. The event takes place in a genuine old wooden house with proper sliding rice paper doors and beautiful screens. The whole event felt very authentic. For men, women and couples alike. The groups are small - approx 10-12 people. The lady was funny and took lots of photos for us with our own phones. Can highly recommend!

Best way to experience Nara & Osaka
We had an incredible day with Daika! This was the tour to really be able to authentically experience Nara and Osaka. We enjoyed the beautiful sights, interacting with the deer, Osaka nightlife, delicious local food, and conversation that really put us in touch with the cities and everything we saw and experienced.

Amazing tour to skip the crowds
We hiked up hidden paths to get to the top of Fushimi Inari. There were hardly any people there and we could enjoy the beautiful nature and shrines.
Josh was a fantastic guide! His explanations were great and he pointed out a lot of interesting details. We recommend this tour very much and would totally do it again.

One day tour in Nara and Osaka
Excellent value to cover highlights of Nara and Osaka. Comfortable and clean van. Daiki was excellent, friendly and talking about life in Japan. He took us to a meal with Japanese curry that was out of this world. I strongly recommend for folks with little time in the region.

Kyoto foodie fun
Our guide Yuuki was knowledgeable and passionate about the food and ensuring we had a great experience. During the food tour we went to local restaurants and ate local foods that we would not have had on our own. The food was delicious too.
