Although the weather wasn't great and it rained, we were still able to enjoy the scenery and culture of Katsuo-ji Temple. Since we bought tickets in advance, we didn't have to queue with the crowds; we could just scan the QR code to enter quickly! While we didn't get to take the large Daruma doll home, we did manage to get a small one, which we left there hoping would maintain its power. The interactive games were also fun; completing all the stamps earned us a Daruma postcard—super cute! 😍 I highly recommend including Katsuo-ji Temple in your itinerary when you visit Osaka!
The weather was good, the car was comfortable, and the tour guide's service was good; he introduced the history of the attractions and some aspects of Japanese culture. Visiting three attractions in one day was a bit rushed, as each place had its own unique features, and transportation wasn't very convenient. Katsuo-ji Temple was beautiful, and the lake sprayed mist, giving it an ethereal feel.
A very relaxing small group tour. Our guide, Anna, was very responsible and attentive in explaining the sights and providing guidance. It would have been even better if we could have had a little more time in Arashiyama. Highly recommended! 👍
I highly recommend driver Cai Weiping for a self-guided tour with elderly relatives. Since our accommodation required changing from Osaka to Kyoto, this day trip was perfect – conveniently connecting Osaka and Kyoto. Arriving early at Katsuo-ji Temple, there weren't many tourists, making it ideal for taking photos. After Katsuo-ji, there was ample time to explore Arashiyama. Even after returning to the hotel, we still had energy for leisurely strolls. If your accommodation involves changing from Osaka to Kyoto, you absolutely must book this tour! I can't imagine the hardship of lugging luggage and traveling all the way to Katsuo-ji and then Kyoto.
The itinerary was full, a fulfilling day, the tour guide was professional and attentive, caring for each traveler, and the fixed-point explanation was not sloppy. The wagyu dishes purchased here are also great. The environment is clean and the service is great.
I was initially worried that there wouldn't be enough time, but it wasn't a one-way day trip to Katsuo-ji, Kiyomizu-dera, or Arashiyama. The itinerary was great, and the tour guide was excellent.
