  We had the best experience with Tatsuya! He not only provided great information but also took us to a great sushi restaurant and honored our requests. He never rushed us and understood/helped with my mobility issues, so it was the perfect way to see so many Kyoto and Nara highlights. My kids, 20 and 23, also had the best time learning from a peer.

• Thoughtful, Accessible, and Memorable Kyoto Tour

  An excellent experience for our family of three adults, including one member who required partial use of a wheelchair. From the start, the tour was thoughtful, flexible, and extremely well organized. We were treated to an expansive yet relaxed visit to Kinkaku-ji, the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, and Shimogamo Shrine, all guided by Riku. Riku was knowledgeable, patient, and attentive, especially when it came to mobility considerations. He adjusted pacing as needed, suggested the most accessible routes, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included throughout the day. Nothing ever felt rushed, and we were able to truly enjoy each location while also learning meaningful historical and cultural context. This tour struck a perfect balance between sightseeing and personal attention, making it ideal for families or groups with accessibility needs. We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Kyoto, and we highly recommend both the tour and Riku as a guide.

• Visit to Kyoto - 28 November 2025

  It is a full-day tour that is just over an hour's drive for those on a cruise. It was very helpful that the company picked us up from the cruise terminal. The company should use signage for pick-up at the port as the shore excursion is a busy one arranged by several passengers with each one looking for their respective ride. We managed to meet our driver, Tatsuya, after a few minutes of looking around, even though the meeting point was close by at the Ferris Wheel. It was very good to have a guide that is well-versed in english and who also seemed to enjoy his job. Before setting out, he briefed us about the itinerary and who would cover what costs. We had to cover one entrance fee and his lunch whilst he covered the tolls and parking fees - as stipulated in their advert. He also indicated a level of flexibility for requests that fell outside of the itinerary which we took him up on later in the trip. He also provided a late model vehicle that was exceptionally clean and comfortable. We drove through morning rush-hour traffic, surprisingly effortlessly. Our guide was very interactive and engaging, also using the opportunity to learn about other worldly things beside his tourism beat. He is a notably safe driver, being a youthly 22-year old. His boss is reportedly younger than he his - kudos to these young entrepreneurs! Our first call - the Kinkakuji Temple did not fail to impress. The Golden Temple, the lake and the pruned gardens was a good entry point after the rush-hour traffic. Despite the high volume of tourists, including a large group of school kids at the time, the walk through and photo ops were fulfilling. There were some good snacks on sale by local vendors. Definitely a good spot to visit. The second destination - Arashiyama - also did not disappoint. Beautiful foilage colors, lovely and serene environment enhanced by a calm river and boat rides in a picturesque valley, as well a hilltop perch to take in the vast scenery was certainly enjoyable. The walk up to the viewpoint can be demanding for the not-so-youthful and energetic persons but it is worth the trek to the top to appreciate the amazing vistas. Arashiyama is a must see stop as was evidenced by the busloads of local Japanese tourists who converged on this popular destination to absorb the beautiful autumn foliage (splash of color) and lovely vistas. It was quite a site to see the swarms of tourists overflowing on the narrow streets which added to the character of the place. The walk through the bamboo grove was also spectacular, especially to also observe some of the traditional japanese attire worn by many young women and girls and some japanese couples. There were plenty of rickshaws also bustling on the narrow streets. Tourists are spoilt for choice from the several restaurants on site. Our guide arranged a sit-down lunch at a halal restaurant to cater for our vegetarian diet. The venue was a good one that offered service in english and payment by card options. The lunch itself was equally good. We did not have sufficient time to cover the two remaining destinations - Gion and Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine. Part of the problem in this regard was the traffic factor to return to the port timeously. Therefore, we had agreed to forgo these two destinations and chose one of our own on the return drive, which Tatsuya had obliged. We arrived in good time to the port after making our deviation from the itinerary. The visit to Kyoto is a highly recommended one, although I was informed by other passengers who did the Nara trip that that destination is also good. Tatsuya informed us that he is from the Nara area and that the visit there is equally good. We strongly recommend the services of Tatsuya and his boss Riku as their company provided a very professional service,

  I chose this tour because I was bringing my kids parents who have mobility issues and I wanted to make sure we could walk at their own pace. Or we could go back to the hotel when they get tired. We knew a bus tour wouldn’t have this flexibility. And this tour was perfect as Riku was very patient and made sure we were visiting sites that wouldn’t be strenuous for my parents. On time pick-up with easy communication, he gave us an extensive background at each site we visited, and a delicious ramen lunch. All in a comfortable vehicle.

  Tatsu was great! He was very friendly and works very hard to making our tour customizable and enjoyable. We got to eat at a local ramen shop and see the less crowded temple/shrines in addition to all the major sites of Kyoto.

  Riku my driver contacted me the night before to confirm the hotel pick up address and time. He was also in communication the morning of to confirm the pickup time and car details Once we met he greeted me with a warm smile and handshake and made sure I was comfortable in the car and the itinerary. We set off on a long but enjoyable day and he was very knowledgeable in the sights we saw and very patient in allowing me to take time taking photos. The day was well planned and he offered additional suggestions to enhance my experience which was an added bonus I highly recommend this trip and having Riku as your driver / guide. He was amazing !!

• Fantastic experience for cruise ship passengers with limited time in port

  After doing a ton of research, we decided that this tour was our best option given our limited time at dock in Osaka. Overall, we were not disappointed with our choice! Riku picked us up at the cruise ship terminal and had his car awaiting nearby before we hit the road for Kyoto. It's entirely true that travel to Kyoto from the port (and back) does take time -- and there can be delays due to heavier traffic. However, we didn't need to worry about any of these things, as Riku did the driving, managed time and made sure that we were able to see and make the most of all planned stops. Otherwise, it was a real delight to be able to spend time with Riku and to learn all about various aspects of Japanese culture. Along the way, he offered many helpful suggestions to enhance our experience, including a fantastic rickshaw ride (at an extra expense, but with no regrets) through the Arashiyama bamboo forest area. We also loved the Ramen restaurant where we dined for lunch. All of that to say, you need not look any further for a wonderful, stress-free, and full day tour if you're hoping to explore Kyoto on limited time while docked in Osaka port. Thanks so much, Riku!

  Riku was absolutely AMAZING - this was one of the most fulfilling excursions that we have experienced, and we are seasoned annual travellers and regular cruise ship passengers. He was early picking us up at the port, and gave us a detailed history lesson for each stop along the way. We had so much fun with him, and he is an EXPERT guide - we highly recommend him… AWESOME excursion!!! Thank you, Riku!!!

• Disappointing tour, would not recommend

  We have taken many tours during our trip to Japan, but unfortunately this one fell short of expectations. Communication with the tour company prior to our arrival was difficult and it appeared that important details were not shared with our guide. Our goal was to visit three to four stops in Kyoto followed by a trip to Nara. Although our guide assured us we would still have enough time, even with a 90-minute rickshaw ride, this turned out not to be accurate. We ended up rushing through lunch just to fit in the third temple. We ultimately did not make it to Nara, and more concerning, we nearly missed the one temple we specifically requested. The guide was unaware that the temple itself closed earlier than the surrounding grounds, so by the time we arrived, near dusk, we were unable to go or see inside. In general, the guide was very nice but we received very little historical or cultural information about Kyoto. Overall, this experience was disappointing, and we would not recommend this tour group based on the lack of communication, poor itinerary management, and limited historical insight.
