This tour allows you to visit four of Kyoto's most iconic scenic spots in one day by bus, saving a lot of travel time. You can also have a quick look around each spot. Tour guide Liu Jun will give a brief introduction to the features of each spot and lead you there. The whole trip is very relaxing, allowing you to see four of Kyoto's most famous attractions in a limited amount of time.
I was so happy to participate in this trip. Kinkaku-ji, Kiyomizu-dera, and Uji Byodoin Temple were all places I'd wanted to visit for a long time. The tour guide was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout the entire trip, speaking both Chinese and English – amazing! 👍 I highly recommend joining KKDAY when traveling to Kyoto; it's more affordable and has better contact information than Ag000.
the staff were all very experienced and efficient especially those who help me dress up into my kimono, super professional. however would be better if there is a more proper system to track which package each customer purchased so that we can go through each part of the process from selecting accessories and kimono to dressing up to make up to hair styling
My five-day, four-night trip to Kyoto included three consecutive days at the Kiyomizu-dera main branch and the last day at the Inari branch. I enjoyed trying out different styles each day. I initially chose this branch because it offered convenient options like overnight returns and returns to other branches without extra charges. To be honest, if you choose a cheaper plan, the staff will almost certainly try to sell you higher-end kimonos for an extra fee. However, their furisode and visiting attire were truly beautiful, so I upgraded myself. I noticed that even when other customers declined, they didn't push it. The weather was quite cold during my visit, and the staff provided thermal underwear, thermal pants, and scarves, as well as a hand warmer. Additionally, umbrellas and handbags, used as photo props, were available for free loan. I'm giving it five stars mainly because the staff are incredibly kind and friendly, and they're also very dedicated. One night I returned my kimono late, which meant one of the employees had to work overtime to serve me, but she still smiled and said, "It's okay, I need to finish washing my clothes first anyway." Also, the same beautiful young woman did my hair for three consecutive days, and her hairstyles were absolutely gorgeous. Furthermore, the Kiyomizu main store has a Hong Kong employee, so Hong Kong customers don't need to worry about communication issues. I'd like to go to Kyoto again in the spring or summer, and I'll definitely visit again then.
As the title suggests, if the meals are entirely vegetarian or non-vegetarian, please indicate this to facilitate selection.
