Things to do in Higashiyama

It was a beautiful day! The guide made a couple of jokes so made it enjoyable. the itenary was very nice and he even offered to take photos.

loved this Nidec tower experience, a beautiful way to see the city, old and new coming together. you could spend as much time as needed but quite a small space so consider popping up if you even have half an hour. was great!

I loved this tour. Was expertly run and organised by tour leader Theodor, and his intern Scarlett, and ably assisted by the Master bus driver. We visited fabulous locations with lots of tips to get the most out of our time, and lots of laughs and fun. Theodor and Scarlett were excellent at their jobs and making us all feel comfortable and happy. Japan is amazing, but is even more so when people go out of the way to make it better and Theodor and Scarlett did this. Was very lucky to have met them both and am excited to return again soon!

Tour guide Cui Haihua has excellent explanations that can be switched between Chinese, Korean and Japanese. He is also very enthusiastic and will answer any questions. Five-star praise.

the hospitality they provided was beyond amazing! so helpful, professional, knowledgeable, friendly and clean! the photographer did a beautiful job of capturing our moment and i love the photos so much! if your on the fence this is your sign to do it! you won’t regret it! it’s definitely a must do here in Kyoto!!

10 years ago, a friend recommended that we arrange a walk around Amanohashidate. When I went to Kyoto this time, I signed up for a one-day tour of Amanohashidate and Ine with my husband and my children. The itinerary was a bit short, and the time spent at each designated stop was not long. However, with the arrangement of tour guide Hu Jun, we didn’t have to queue up to buy tickets ( Amanohashidate Chairlift, Ine Yacht) times, as well as the special features, key points, and safety reminders of each attraction. I also repeatedly remind everyone that this is a group activity, please do not be late, otherwise it will affect the subsequent itinerary arrangements. But there are three girls from Hong Kong who have been late since the early morning meeting! For the rest of the trip, those who are either the last to come back will be late! The round trip from Kyoto to Amanohashidate takes a long time, and chatting on the minibus without caring about other people's feelings is the disappointing part of this one-day trip. Apart from this point, Amanohashidate and Ine are natural and cultural landscapes worth visiting. Thanks again to tour guide Hu Jun for his detailed explanation and arrangements for the day.

It was just great, I was able to borrow a beautiful Furisode kimono and got accessories and a simple hairstyle to go with it. The "simple" Furisode package had, in my opinion, a fairly small selection of Furisode kimonos and most of them were very colorful, which wasn't really my thing, but I did find a beautiful kimono. A simple obi is included but I opted for the upgrade with the bow because I didn't think the other one was quite right. Getting dressed was pretty quick and I also got socks. The lady kept asking if everything was OK while I was getting dressed, which I thought was really good. A simple hairstyle was included and I really liked it, I could choose between four hairstyles for long hair and found them all very beautiful. The hairstyle was enhanced with lots of accessories and looked beautiful. You're not that fast with the shoes you get and it can be a bit difficult to walk up stairs or mountains. But I would definitely book this again, it was a great experience wearing a Kinono in Kyoto and the shop was very clean and well organized. Definitely five stars!

Fun and very good experience! They are very attentive and help you choose the ideal kimono for you, the photos with Ike were easy and great. I totally recommend the package.
