Katsuoji Temple

The driver and tour guide provided the most experienced shortcuts to save time and make for an efficient trip! 👍

This day trip exceeded my expectations; the cherry blossoms were exactly what I imagined, and the attractions we visited were exactly what I loved ❤️ We also had a lovely tour guide who maintained a perfect distance in our interactions – it was wonderful 😆

Everywhere you look is beautiful. Our tour guide, Xiao Zhao, is kind, friendly, and fun, making this trip much more enjoyable.

The scenery is beautiful, the damascus are diverse, and some cherry blossoms and plum blossoms are already in bloom; it's truly beautiful.

Tour guide Fang Miao was very attentive and professional, making the trip comfortable and the itinerary well-organized, resulting in a great travel experience.

Our tour leader, Cave, is professional and can communicate fluently in Chinese, English, and Japanese with tourists from all over the world. Our driver, Mr. Ruan, drives smoothly. There's ample time at each attraction, allowing for leisurely walks and photo opportunities. If you're worried about the uphill climb to Atago-ji Temple, you can instead visit the Saga Torii Main Buildings and Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Temple, both located in the same area. The weeping cherry blossoms at Arashiyama Tenryu-ji Temple are in full bloom and definitely worth a visit!

Regarding time, the itinerary is quite tight, so the time spent there is limited. Those who prefer a more in-depth travel experience should consider this – however, it's a suitable arrangement! You can easily complete the photo and stamp collection at Katsuo-ji Temple, but it's a bit of a shame we didn't manage our time well enough for souvenir shopping! (The wasabi beans I grabbed were delicious! Perfect with beer!) The last two spots were also quite nice to stroll around at. Our tour leader, Apple, was very friendly! She clearly communicated the meeting times and even recommended some unique shops and restaurants in Arashiyama. She answered all my questions quickly. I contacted her via Line – remember to confirm your contact information before the trip starts!

This was my second trip with KKDay. This time we visited all the attractions we wanted to see. Our guide, Apple, was incredibly kind and helpful, even taking photos for us and telling us where to eat. She also gave us directions to the attractions so we could easily find them. Although we missed the cherry blossoms this time, which was a little disappointing, we still had a great time.
