What Is a Private Kyoto Day Tour to Arashiyama and Fushimi Inari Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests enjoyed the tour cheerfully from beginning to end.

In Arashiyama, the guests were very fond of the scenery of the bamboo grove and took many photos. They also enjoyed matcha sweets and tea, and seemed to fully appreciate the Japanese atmosphere. The guests were also interested in shopping at the souvenir shops.

At Fushimi Inari Taisha, the guests listened with great interest to the story of the "Fox Gods" and took many group photos at the Senbon Torii (Thousand Torii Gates). It appeared to be a wonderful memory for them.

For lunch, the guests enjoyed ramen and were pleased with the Japanese food experience.

I am also sincerely grateful that they joined me for lunch and treated me. Thank you very much for kindly cooperating with the group photo taken for PR purposes.

The tour proceeded in a warm atmosphere throughout and concluded smoothly and on time. There were no particular problems or troubles.
