On this half-day private tour, we will visit picture-postcard places of Kyoto in Higashiyama area and enjoy walking through quiet alleys.
To start with, we will visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple, one of Kyoto's most famous landmarks, and visit the photogenic places nearby that look like they have appeared in films! After strolling the scenic and hidden paths in Higashiyama area, we will stop by the oldest Zen temple in Kyoto, Kenninji Temple, to adore their beutiful gardens. Finally, we will take a walk the picturesque streets of Gion, where "Memoirs of a Geisha" was set in, to end our tour.
If you are interested in Japanese culture and history of Kyoto, this tour will be a great introduction!

Our tour with Keiko was very interesting and informative! We visited the Golden Temple and the Shrine of a Thousand Gates, and she also helped us find our next excursion point afterwards.

We had a wonderful 4 hour tour with our guide, Taka. We were able to see a lot in a short time - the Fushimi Inari shrine, Kiyomizu temple (our favourite…such a beautiful place!) and Gion. Our guide showed us to an area with lots of food options at the end of the tour. All in all, it was time well spent!

Our happy, bubbly and welcoming guide Saki led us safely through old atmospheric streets and temples. She shared interesting history and a lot about Japanese culture with us. She answered all our questions and also researched what she couldn't answer right away, and sent us answers by email after the trip. This guided tour added an extra dimension to the visit to Japan. The insight we gained in these few hours, we could not have gained without our guide Saki. We can highly recommend this trip.

"Five stars simply aren't enough to commend Mika-san for her exceptional leadership of the Kyoto Private 4-hour Custom Walking Tour. From the outset, her communication was impeccable, ensuring every detail was tailored to our preferences. Her dedication shone through in the meticulously crafted itinerary, showcasing her deep knowledge of Kyoto's hidden gems. As a native, Mika-san's insights were invaluable, elevating our experience to extraordinary heights. Professionalism, politeness, and warmth was presented from her every gesture, making us feel like honored guests in her city. Our journey through the Gion District and Downtown Kyoto was unforgettable, made even more magical by chance encounters with a Maiko and a young woman celebrating her coming of age. Thank you, Mika-san, for a truly unforgettable adventure. You have been a wonderful part of our Kyoto experience. “

What an outstanding experience! Kazuko was the perfect host and tour guide. We hit some major highlights but also wandered off to see some places I would never have seen on my own. It was great having a local who spoke Japanese but also spoke very good english. She had so much history to share! My son joined me for part of the tour but the second half was on my own. I'd recommend Japan Wonder Travel and Kuzuko to anyone who wants a one on one tour of Kyoto!
