Kyoto
Although I was a week late for the cherry blossom season, it might have actually been a good thing, as there were no crowds and I could easily get around everywhere.
First, I visited Fushimi Inari. Since it was my first stop and due to the location, it was impossible to see everything within the time limit.
The second place I went to was Kiyomizu-dera. The distribution of time was fine here, and the location was good, which made it enjoyable.
I highly recommend visiting Kinkaku-ji as my third stop. The scenery is wonderful.
It was my first visit since my student days, and experiencing Kyoto again with the passing years felt different and truly lovely.
Although I was traveling alone, most of the other guests were foreigners, and the tour guide was very kind, which was great. There were no issues traveling alone. However, it would be wise to check the meeting place in advance.
Also, today I'm heading to Guam, and I'm participating in another tour with Bell Tours. The monitor tour is very reasonable and definitely worth using.
I'm sure there will be plenty of enjoyable experiences.
桜の時期には一週間遅れたけれど、
それが逆に良かったのか、激込みというところがなく、どこもスイスイ行けました。
まずは伏見稲荷は一番最初に行きましたが、ここは最初だということもあり、場所てきな問題もあり全てを回ることは、時間内には無理でした。
2番目に行ったのは、清水寺。
ここは、問題ない配分でしたし、ロケーションはよいし良かったですね。
3番目の金閣寺は是非行ってみてほしいです。
景観が素晴らしいですよ。
学生以来の再行きでしたが、年を重ねての京都はまた、違った趣が感じられ、ほんとに素敵。
一人旅ではありましたが
ほぼ、他のお客様は外人さんでしたが、添乗員さんがとても親切で、良かったです。
一人旅でもなにも問題はありません。
ただ集合場所だけは下見をしておいた方が賢明。
また、今日にはグアムに行くので、
またベルとらさんのツアーに参加しています。
モニタツアーもあり、とてもリ-ズナブルで
利用価値ありです。
たくさん楽しめること間違いないです。

Guide was excellent and we plenty of time to tour the attractions! I would recommend this tour. We found it very reasonable in price, also.
There are so many temples in Kyoto but this tour took us to the 3 temples I wanted to see and the guide also pointed out all the temples along the way from the bus. It was just enough stops to maintain my 13 year old daughter's interest without getting bored. Audio headset for English and other languages were only used in the bus so we couldn't understand the guide's explanation at all the stops, which was disappointing to us and the rest of the non-Japanese speaking people on our tour. The time spent at each stop was perfect with enough time to quickly browse through the shops and try popular snacks sold near the temples. We received small omiyage or souvenirs from each temple which was a nice surprise! Although it's a ways down a lot of steps, you should take the time to drink the water flowing down 3 channels to a fountain at Kiyomizudera. They say it has wish granting powers for love, academic success and longevity. This was a great tour but would've been perfect if it was in English!
First time went to Kyoto alone, we didn't know where to go, we found on the internet about this tour. We had a wonderful time and enjoy tour, tour guide is really friendly and closer with travellers. But only each sightseeing places too much travellers, and the time for sightseeing is limited, so that we have not lot of time to sightseeing as well.
If have change to travel again, we will chose this tour. Thank you
