Thank you to our tour guide, Andy Chen, for providing detailed explanations of every attraction. We visited Nijo Castle, Kinkaku-ji Temple, Togetsukyo Bridge in Arashiyama, Tenryu-ji Temple, and Fushimi Inari Shrine. Seeing so many sights in one day, especially with the reassuring feeling of traveling by bus, is truly a highly recommended option for solo travelers. I also met friends from different countries and even exchanged contact information. I thoroughly enjoyed today's trip.
Our Kyoto experience with David was awesome. He provided a lot of insightful information in both English & Chinese. Instructions given was cleared especially meeting and pick up points. Every stop was punctual and no delays. The coach that we board was so clean and so comfy. Highly recommend for beginner travelling to Kyoto whereby you can cover more in a day!
Booked a 8.30am slot on a Tuesday and it was very packed when we went in. When we returned our kimonos at 1pm, the store was also very packed. Store space (first floor for outfit selection, second floor for hairstyling and changing) are both not big. Japanese lady who helped me with my kimono in my second floor was very lovely.
But the choices of kimono even for the special offer are great. There are even lace designs available to choose from. Hairstyling was also done very nicely and I love it!
We traveled by car from Kyoto, first heading south to Nara and then north back. The scenery in each place was incredibly beautiful, especially during cherry blossom season, when the cherry trees were in full bloom. The tourist attractions were packed with people, and the good weather added many wonderful memories to the trip.
The shop was very crowded during cherry blossom season, and the staff were very patient and helpful even though they hadn't eaten or drunk anything. They spoke Chinese, and the clothing styles were decent; the uniforms were especially nice. The only downside was that the shop was a bit small.
The entire trip was well planned. The second stop, the Inari torii gate, was a little shorter due to the schedule of the third stop, the little train. Those who like it might feel a bit unsatisfied. However, it was still manageable because it rained that day. The local guide was very attentive and experienced. He gave you all the necessary reminders and precautions and was trustworthy. I would definitely visit again if I had the chance.
