We love Yoshi!

We weren’t used to such a large tour group but Yoshi did a great job of keeping everyone excited and in tune with what was necessary. Great tour! It was super hot so we were dehydrated and tired but over all a great experience

It was fun and very interesting afternoon with our tour guide Kay Zee (I hope I spelled his name correctly). He’s very knowledgeable about the temples we visited and also very engaging. He’s also a good story teller and knows a lot of trivia about Kyoto. I also learned something about geisha as relayed by our guide.
Overall great tour and great experience with our guide.
Highly recommended.

I enjoyed this half day tour. The bus is comfy. Our tour guide nicknamed Kay Zee is a knowledgeable and cheerful guide. His funny lines make stories about Kyoto a very engaging sharing of anecdotes about the city.
I wish I have done a full day tour then I could have seen more attractions.
Highly recommended. Thank you to Kay Zee and thank you to JTB sunrise tours

Really enjoyed the tour; got to see outstanding Kyoto sites.
Unfortunately, individuals returned to the bus late, and the rest of the stops were too rushed.

Classical & Wonderful

Reviewed by: Kyoto Beginner, 2012/05/21

This tour is a good start for someone like me; first time in Kyoto and clueless but curious!
As one of your classical bus tour, it goes to those major sites that can’t be missed! Plus, it gave me ideas on what to do and where to go in Kyoto for the rest of my trip.
The sweet lady that was my guide was wonderful at picking up the points on where to look. My personal favorite, was the Sanjusangen-do visited in the afternoon. It was first a little scary to have over a 1000 statues looking at you, but at the artistic talent taken to create the life-like statues of the Japanese idols is a personal must see!
Also the Kyoto Handicraft Center visited during lunch had some pretty cool stuff! Kimonos, artwork, jewelry, and even some anime goods. A great place to get an idea for what to buy for an “omiyage”!
Fun and overall interesting, after this trip, I can see why my friends said Kyoto is rich in culture.

  • "Golden" Pavilion

  • Kiyomizu Temple

  • Peaceful Japanese Garden

  • Heian Shrine
