Kyoto Customized Private Tour in 1 Day — Guide Kazz

Title: What Is a Rainy-Day Private Kyoto Tour Like with a Wheelchair? A Licensed Guide's Report

It rained heavily from the morning. Although I had sent an email the day before asking for rain preparations to be made, this had not been arranged. The guests were visiting from Europe. They had arrived in Tokyo by cruise ship, come to Kyoto the previous day, and planned to return to Tokyo after today's tour. In the heavy rain, we visited Kinkaku-ji Temple, and then went to Ryoan-ji Temple. There is a wheelchair-accessible route that goes right up to the side of the rock garden, but the path was narrow and the surface was in poor condition, so it was a struggle. Even wearing a rain jacket and holding a folding umbrella, everything below the knees got wet. On top of the heavy rain, there were many school excursion students, and I was unable to secure a taxi from Ryoan-ji by phone. I had a taxi that had come to Ryoan-ji brought around to the back of the office, but since the group was departing for the Middle East the next day, they said they wanted to return to Kyoto Station, so the tour ended partway through. Seats on the bullet train to Tokyo were available, but a wheelchair-accessible seat was difficult to secure, so we ended up with a Nozomi about an hour later. They were pleased overall, but as the rain grew even heavier, I felt it was good that we did not force ourselves to complete the entire itinerary.
