Sagano-Arashiyama

The Chinese-speaking staff are friendly, the location is very close, the price is reasonable, and the clothing quality is good.

We were lucky to have Frederick (Day) as our guide. He was very enthusiastic in introducing the various attractions and taking care of us. Although the weather was hot, the whole trip was very enjoyable and a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

My family and I visited Nara Shikafushimi Inari Shrine and rode the Arashiyama Scenic Railway. The minibus transportation was very convenient, and our guide, Xiao Fu, was excellent, providing detailed explanations and friendly service. The time spent at each attraction was short, making it perfect for experiencing the local culture.

Love the trip. Enjoyable scenery

Disadvantages: The itinerary is tight, and with many people, you need to manage your time well if you want to see the sights or go shopping. Some members of our group were 10 minutes late and were still walking slowly; there were people who weren't punctual at every point. Katsuo-ji Temple offers stamp collection; the fee includes admission and a postcard per person, making it a great place for photos and stamp collecting—you'll finish before you know it. Lunch is only 40 minutes long; if you've booked a crab hot pot, it'll be rushed… Arashiyama (1 hour): Crowded, you'll cross the Togetsukyo Bridge, so you can't take the train. Bamboo Grove Path, shopping and snacks, the shopping street has different versions of the old and new ones, and it's a sloping area—a great place for shoppers. Kiyomizu-dera Temple admission is extra; you have to climb stairs, but it's highly recommended. Headache amulets cost 100 yen; the "walking in the womb" experience is very interesting; try your hand at the Benkei staff (you'll really cheer if you succeed; I encountered two that day); Otowa Waterfall helps ward off bad luck.
