Kyoto: Hotel by taxi & Shinpuhkan. Travel by taxi — Guide Ken

What Is a Private One-Day Kyoto Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Kiyomizu, Kinkaku-ji, and More

The guests were a group visiting from North America. The tour was originally scheduled for June 3, but it had been postponed to June 5 due to a typhoon. However, since the guests had visited Fushimi Inari on their own on June 3, they requested through [Japan Guide Agency (JGA Inc.)](https://www.j-g-a.org/) whether the tour could be shortened and partially refunded. As this request could not be accommodated under the cancellation policy, I approached the tour with even greater care to ensure the guests' satisfaction.

First thing in the morning, we used a taxi to visit Kiyomizu, which the guests greatly enjoyed, and they were delighted with the several photos taken at the photo spots. We were also able to visit a coffee shop they had requested themselves, which pleased them. After that, we used public transportation to save time and visited Nanzen-ji, Nijo Castle, and Kinkaku-ji. Since there was some time left at the end, I suggested visiting Ryoan-ji, but they seemed quite tired from all the walking, so they expressed a wish to stop by an ice cream shop and then return to the Hotel.

For the final ice cream stop, we were able to visit the flower ice cream shop at Shinpuh-kan, one of the most popular spots in Kyoto, where some of the guests thoroughly enjoyed the ice cream and were very pleased. From there we returned to the Hotel and said goodbye. When I gave them an origami crane at parting, they seemed truly moved by it, and I believe it made for a wonderful memory. Overall, despite the request for a shortened tour and refund due to the guests' own circumstances, I am confident that the tour was completed with a very high level of satisfaction and no complaints.
