The tour guide and driver were friendly and helpful, and each of the three scenic spots had its own unique charm; the tour departed from Osaka by tour bus, saving time and effort.
The tour guide was very humorous and witty. Katsuo-ji Temple is truly beautiful, and Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Arashiyama, and Togetsukyo Bridge are also very pretty. I would definitely sign up again if I come back. Thumbs up!
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 😆
I originally planned to go to Katsuo-ji Temple on my own, but found transportation inconvenient, so I booked a group tour through Kkday. They emailed me a day in advance with the tour guide's information and vehicle license plate. Our guide, Apple, provided excellent service, taking photos for us along the way. The autumn leaves in Arashiyama were so red, it was breathtaking! It was a fantastic day; I took many beautiful photos and was very satisfied.
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!
