Kyoto: BLOSSOM KYOTO & Nishiki Market — Guide Kazz

What Is a Private Kyoto Arashiyama and Sagano Walking Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were a group visiting from North America. They came to Kyoto after arriving in Osaka via Asia. Through the travel agency, the only stated request I had received was a bamboo grove, and since the tour was titled Arashiyama and Sagano, I planned a route walking down from Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple into the Arashiyama area. When we met, I confirmed the details of the itinerary, but it seemed they had not researched it in much depth. I had initially set the final destination as the Monkey Park, but as it was an extremely hot day and they showed signs of tiredness from walking, after Tenryu-ji Temple I asked whether they would like to go to the Monkey Park or to Nishiki Market in the central area, and they chose Nishiki Market, so we finished at the entrance to Nishiki Market. Since we started early, I asked whether they would like to have lunch during the tour, but they said they would not, so we skipped lunch. One of the guests was collecting goshuin (temple seal stamps), so we obtained four during the tour.

Tour Report by Kazz

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!
