Templo con una gran mística

68Luis, Dec 2019
Visita para conocer, es un templo ubicado en medio de un bosque con un ambiente muy especial. El guía fue extremadamente amable. Recomiendo ir temprano pues se llena mucho al medio día y es difícil tomar fotos.

心洗われる時間

Kenichi_O, Dec 2019
伏見稲荷大社、一度は訪れたい所でした。ガイドさんのお陰で短い時間を、ゆとり有る時間となりました。説明も丁寧で、又、多くの人の波をスムーズに通り抜ける事が出来ました。ガイドのヤスコさん有り難う

Response from Host, Dec 2019

このたびのご利用、誠にありがとうございました。また楽しい時間を過ごしていただけたようで大変嬉しく存じます。いただいたメッセージはガイドにお伝えさせていただきます。ぜひまた京都にいらっしゃる際は、お声がけいただければ幸いです。今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。
