A wonderful day in Sagano/ Arashyama
Had a wonderful time with Michi san. He’s very knowledgeable and flexible. Visiting the Shugakuin Imperial Villa was a unique experience. We had excellent views of Arashyama, slightly away from the crowds. I took many beautiful photos.

Walking Arashiyama & Sagano
You need a knowledgeable guide to get the most out of the experience. Arashiyama is so much more than a pretty backdrop for photos. So much history & culture

Great tour of monkey park and bamboo forest
We had a great tour of the Kyoto monkey park and bamboo forest. Our guide Michi was terrific. He made the tour both fun and educational for our entire family. He also showed us many other sites in the Arashimaya area that were interesting and very pretty. We cannot say enough great things about Michi.

Bucket list. : bamboo Forrest checked
Our tour was excellent. It was a very hot day and it was very tiring. Ken was a great tour guide. He was very informative and he even gave us a 1 page info sheet about Kyoto history. My children were able to go to the monkey park too!

Arashiyama Tour
Satoko was a wonderful and engaging guide. The monkeys were the highlights for the kids, but we also enjoyed the bamboo forest and the temples and shrines.

Private Kyoto tour
Kiyoshi was an amazing tour guide. He took us to the Golden Pavillion, the bamboo forest and the Imperial palace. He provided all the background information and interesting facts about the sites and allowed ample time for snacks and a lunch break. We would tour with him again.

Day well spent
An excellent and insightful tour with our kind and knowledgeable guide, Kazuo. We went to Arashiyama, of course, but also went to little-known places that were peaceful and not so touristy. We also appreciated how considerate Kazuo was with my being slow due to previous injuries. Five stars!

Arashimaya autumn tour
It was a good and comprehensive tour of Arashiyama. The scenes of autumn peak were truly breathtaking. Pity it was very crowded and the paths up and down the hills were very slippery especially when it was raining then.

Great day exploring parts of Arashiyama with Bell
Nice area to explore, communication with guide prior really helped in putting together an itinerary that met my wish list. The area was super crowded the time of year I visited but guide knew her way around to minimize the 'touristy crowded areas' which helped improve our experience. She was also very patient when we came to a spot I want to spend more time in for photos. Would have been difficult to navigate the sites without Bell.
