Kyoto: Fushimiinari & Gion Hanamikoji — Guide Kazz

Title: What Can You See on a Full-Day Private Kyoto Tour? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were a group from Asia. Since they had not expressed any particular requests in advance about where they wanted to go, I guided them along a general itinerary. They said they did not need lunch and wanted to visit as many places as possible, so I took my time showing them around. After we met, they said they wanted to attend a tea ceremony, so I inquired at a tea ceremony venue, but it was fully booked that day. My original plan was to go from Kiyomizu-dera to Kinkaku-ji, but since we saved the time set aside for lunch, I added Sannen-zaka, the Yasaka Pagoda, and Yasaka Koshin-do. Before heading to the bamboo grove in Sagano, I explained about the Sagano Romantic Train, and they said they wanted to board it right away and return from Kameoka, asking me to wait for them. When I explained that the seats were fully booked with only standing room available and that an additional taxi charge would apply, they decided against it. At the end, they said they wanted to go to Gion, so I guided them to the entrance of Hanamikoji Street and concluded the tour there.

I’m Ryoichi Kazuma and my nickname is “Kazz”. I live in Kyotanabe city next to Kyoto city. I want guests to enjoy Kyoto by seeing and experiencing not only from outside but also from inside. I offer various information from daily matters to traditional cultures. Most destinations in Kyoto are located on the eastern side or the western side. As I want to guide guests to as many destinations as possible, I make an efficient itinerary and recommend a taxi use to save time. Additionally, I take pictures at various spots and finally share the link to my storage. By doing so, guests can download their favorite pictures from my storage. Please enjoy Kyoto night and day!
