Kyoto Customized Private Tour by Car — Guide Kazz

What Is a Private One-Day Kyoto Tour by Chartered Taxi Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests arrived in Japan on a cruise ship that stopped at various ports across the country. They came by taxi from Osaka Port to Kyoto Station, then transferred to a chartered taxi at the Hachijo exit to begin the tour. Due to traffic congestion, the arrival was delayed and the tour started about 30 minutes late. The guests mentioned that they run a large farm in North America, producing watermelon, melon, coffee, and vegetables. The itinerary had all been arranged by one of the guests, while the other simply came along.

Nishiki Market was a huge hit, and the guests were very satisfied after enjoying sashimi, sake, shrimp tempura, vegetable tempura, grilled eel, Kobe beef skewers, cream puffs, and doughnuts. They also purchased matcha at a tea shop in the Teramachi area. In the end, after enjoying about an hour and a half around Nishiki Market, we visited Yasaka Pagoda, which had been one of their original requests, and then went to Fushimi Inari.

At the end, I had planned to take them to the bamboo grove and then on to the Togetsukyo Bridge area, but since there was not enough time, we returned to Kyoto Station after seeing the bamboo grove. Initially I had heard that they planned to have dinner in Pontocho and return to Osaka by train, but as they had chartered a car at 19:00 to return to Osaka Port, I finally guided them to the souvenir shops in the underground shopping area of Kyoto Station before we parted ways.
