Things to do in Byodo-in

Amy was a terrific guide. She was knowledgeable and always upbeat with a positive attitude. This tour checked off a few of our to do destinations. It was very past paced; it would've been nice to stay longer at certain areas. Overall, it was enjoyable with a memorable guide.

Tour was an amazing experience but Theodor really stole the show, We got lost on our way back from Kiyomizu-dera temple and he found us in that sea of people! that was frankly incredible and because of that I can't praise him enough. Highly, highly recommended tour.

Joy was a great guide, she knew lots about each place which made the experience much more interesting! The three spots were definitely popular and busy but you could see why and they were worth the visit. the tour bus and guide made it much easier to get to and from each place too.

Had a great time exploring Kyoto and Uji with tour guide Joy. Futhermore, learning the history of Kyoto and Uji’s matcha. She’s very insightful, knowledgeable and help us took many memorable photos.

Ako was a wonderful guide. I'd recommend this tour for not only fans of matcha, but those interested in learning more of the history in Uji City.

I’m so happy to meet the tour guide Cicy. She will introduce every scenic spot in detail and recommend delicious local food😄

The one-day tour itinerary was very fulfilling. The tour leader Cicy introduced a lot of stories about the scenic spots during the transportation process. Understanding the background of the story in advance before arrival will make the actual sighting more impressive after arrival. The itinerary we took this time was: Kinkakuji Temple -> Kiyomizu Temple & Ninnezaka Shopping Street (the arrival time happened to be lunch time, and I ate at the Katsuragi beef steak restaurant recommended by the tour leader, which is very close to the bus parking lot, around 11 o'clock) You can sit down directly without waiting when you arrive) -" Uji River & Matcha Street (The Uji River is very large, with walking trails on both sides for people to walk on. It is also very comfortable to sit and enjoy the breeze. In addition, you can also walk to the nearby Uji Shrine on your own. The small shrine is The cute Huitou Rabbit is worth a visit)

I am pleased that i had Cicy as my guide. She explained in great detail of the attractions and shared with us the proper way to pray in the temple and make recommendations on food and gift we could purchase and helping us take photos. Uji is really an scenic place to visit.
