I really wanted to visit Katsuo-ji Temple, and also wanted to see Kyoto and Arashiyama. This one-day tour satisfied my desires. Although there wasn't enough time to explore Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, I was very happy with the trip. The guide/driver drove smoothly and focused on explaining the attractions. I really enjoyed the trip.
The entire trip was smooth, the vehicle was clean and comfortable, the tour guide was friendly and welcoming, and the driver drove smoothly. The whole journey was enjoyable, and I highly recommend visiting Katsuo-ji Temple.
The tour time is flexible, but I suggest extending the time for Miyama. The originally planned 15 minutes wasn't enough for the guide to speak clearly. Katsuo-ji Temple was originally scheduled for 1 hour and 15 minutes, but we mostly just took photos there. We had already discussed with our travel companions beforehand to allocate 15 minutes for Miyama, which made the arrangement just right. Thanks to the guide for the suggestion. The mountain roads are very winding, so I recommend everyone take motion sickness medication beforehand to avoid nausea.
In one day, we were able to sample matcha snacks in Uji, visit Byodoin Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine, and Katsuo Temple. We had two hours to visit each place, which was plenty of time and very relaxing. Our guide, Ms. Lai, provided clear explanations and even helped us take photos at each site – she was incredibly attentive and considerate. ❤️
The tour guide and driver were great, the itinerary was comprehensive, the price was reasonable, the tour guide provided detailed explanations of each place, and language communication was not a problem. Excellent! A great value trip!
