Sagano-Arashiyama

Katsuo-ji Temple was incredibly photogenic, and we were lucky enough to have snow in Arashiyama that day. Our guide, Nick, was incredibly dedicated to every member of the group. He was fluent in Japanese, English, and Chinese, and his explanations of the various attractions were vivid and engaging. He also recommended excellent shops and acted as a friendly older brother to the children, showing them great patience. Our driver was also very kind and polite. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with this day trip. Your company should definitely give such a passionate and dedicated employee a raise! 👍

I joined the tour on December 29th, but it was during Japan's long weekend, so the area was packed with tourists. The itinerary for the four attractions was also very tight, leaving little time for sightseeing and taking photos. We ended up getting stuck in traffic at Kiyomizu-dera Temple, waiting over an hour in the car before heading back to Osaka. However, the tour leader, Liu Jun, and the driver, Nakahara, were very friendly and provided detailed explanations, making the entire day trip a great experience. I would suggest that you email the tour leader with detailed information beforehand, including their Line ID and how to easily find them at the meeting point. On the day of the tour, the meeting point was incredibly crowded. Even though we arrived early, we couldn't find the tour leader and were very anxious, walking back and forth many times without knowing how to contact them. Luckily, we eventually found the tour leader holding a flag.

The environment was excellent, and the scenery was beautiful. The food wasn't plentiful, but it was very refined; the family was quite full after the meal.
