伏見稲荷大社+清水寺+金閣寺+嵐山 1日ツアー 定番観光地を1日で巡る! 昼食付きプランあり<京都駅発/英語・日本語>by 神姫観光 LIMON

I participated alone, but... ひとり参加でしたが

Reviewed by: お初さん

I was well taken care of by our tour guide, Mr. Tamiya, and I had a wonderfully enjoyable day without feeling lonely at all. The driver, Mr. Yamashita, kept the car comfortable by closing the curtains while we were away and added to the travel atmosphere with his thick Kansai dialect, which was a nice touch. However, the actual meeting time at Hearton Hotel is 8:20. I regret that this information was not available, which caused some inconvenience for the tour. Additionally, the time spent at Fushimi Inari Shrine is actually from 10:00 to 10:45, which is quite busy. I think it would be better to correct the online information to reflect the actual details. Summer in Kyoto can be unbearably hot. Water, a hat (or parasol), and sunglasses are essential.

添乗員の田宮さんに良くして頂いて、まったく寂しい思いをすることなく、あっという間の楽しい一日でした。運転手の山下さんは、いない間にカーテンを閉めておいて下さって車内を快適に保ってくださったり、ベタベタの関西弁で旅気分を盛り上げてくださったりさり気ない気遣いが嬉しかったです。ただハートンホテルの実際の集合時間は8:20です。その情報がなくてツアーにご迷惑をおかけしてしまいました。また伏見稲荷神社で過ごす時間も実際は10時~10時45分の45分間で結構忙しいです。ネットの情報を実際の情報に修正しておいてもらった方が良いかと思います。夏の京都は苦しいくらい暑いです。水、帽子(または日傘)、サングラスは必携です。

日帰りバスツアー 伏見稲荷大社+清水寺+金閣寺+嵐山 定番観光地を1日で巡る!昼食付プランあり<梅田・京都発/英語・日本語>by 神姫観光 LIMON

Convenient tour 便利なツアー

Reviewed by: リマリマ

I think this is a convenient and good tour that allows you to easily visit the famous sites in Kyoto. The bus was entirely yellow, making it easy to spot. However, I expected more detailed explanations in English about Kyoto's history and places like Kiyomizu Temple, Kinkaku-ji, and Fushimi Inari Taisha. Unfortunately, the information was quite limited, which was disappointing since I was looking forward to practicing my English listening skills. I chose a plan without lunch, but I would prefer the lunch venue to be a restaurant that offers a "obanzai buffet."

コースとしては、京都の名所を楽に回れて、便利な良いツアーだと思います。
バスのお色も全体が黄色でわかり易く探しやすかったです。
ただ、もっと京都の歴史や、清水寺・金閣寺・伏見稲荷大社の詳しい説明が英語であるとばかり思っていたのですが、あまりにも少なく、英会話の聞き取りの勉強になると楽しみにしていただけにその点に関してはイマイチでした。
私は、昼食無しのプランでしたが、昼食会場は、出来ましたら「おばんざいのバイキング」のお店にして欲しいです。

Kyoto Evening Cultural Tour in Gion with Traditional Performances & Tea Ceremony

Fantastic night

Reviewed by: Alan

We were brought around Gion by a very pleasant and friendly guide, starting with a performance of traditional Japanese theatre crafts. This was very engaging and a good way to get the true scope of Japanese theatre. Afterwards we had a very enchanting walking tour through Gion, ending with a delicious meal and tea ceremony in one of Gion's restaurants. The teahouse was very historical and even had a small museum, which the staff guided us around. Our guide offered to arrange transport back to our accomodation, but we wished to walk around Gion for another while so she allowed us to do so. Our group had only around several people, which meant we had a very intimate experience. We would highly reccomend.

The time for sightseeing is too short. If possible, instead of one hour at Kiyomizu-dera, having one and a half hours might be more enjoyable. I hope improvements can be made.

A cultural experience

Reviewed by: AZQ

A very enjoyable tour of Gion and watching the Geisha dance. We enjoyed the dinner which was vegetarian a nice break after eating a lot of sushi and fish. The tea ceremony was the highlight conducted in a secluded room at the back of the house. We did this tour with a 3 year old and he enjoyed it and the staff very accommodating.

Reviewed by: 寺坂深雪

I was guided by Natsuko, who can provide tours in English, along with my German friend to places like Nijo Castle, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama. Her thoughtfulness, language skills, and knowledge of history were all wonderful, and my friend from overseas was very pleased. Her explanations at each temple and shrine were profound, and I believe she has studied very well. I would definitely like to explore Kyoto again with Natsuko as my guide. Thank you very much!

Participated in a bus tour of Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, and Fushimi Inari Taisha. 清水寺・金閣寺・伏見稲荷大社バスツアーに参加

Reviewed by: 鉄腕鉄

I spent a day at Universal Studios Japan (USJ) on a bus tour from Tochigi Prefecture, and on the next free day, I participated in a sightseeing tour of Kyoto with Shinki Bus.

I arrived at the meeting place an hour early in the morning. The guide was already waiting and kindly asked if I was there for the tour, which put me at ease. The bus was very noticeable with large letters spelling "LIMON" on a yellow background.

The first sightseeing spot, Fushimi Inari, was very crowded from the morning, but the guides, wearing yellow happi coats and holding flags, stood out well. The bus was equipped with USB jacks and Wi-Fi, which was helpful.

I thought it was nice to have many foreign participants this time.

栃木県から別のバスツアーで、USJで1日過ごし、次のフリー日に、神姫バスツアーで京都観光に参加。
 朝、1時間前に集合場所に到着した。すでにガイドさんも待機され、気さくに観光参加ですか?と声をかけられ、こちらも安心。

Kyoto Private Taxi Tour with Customizable Itinerary & English-Speaking Guide

Best day of our entire trip!

Reviewed by: Meghan Wood

Our customized tour with Fuji-san was amazing, as we had only one full day in Kyoto I was worried we wouldn't get to see everything. Not only did we do everything we had on our list, but he took special interest in showing us things for our young children (ages 3 and almost 6) that we hadn't considered doing, such as the Toei Movie studios lot. My son LOVES Power Rangers, it was the highlight of his trip, and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the female heroine of the samurai show. He suggested a better order of doing things, so that we could see certain sights before they became too crowded. When we admired the view of Kyoto from the mountainside, he took us to a nearby temple with panoramic views of the city. He knew great spots for taking the best photos, and where to eat. He was kind and patient with our rambunctious children, and explained the history and meaning behind EVERYTHING, from the statues to the temple bells. In addition, the van we rented was spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean. I would definitely book with VELTRA again, and would give Fuji-san the highest rating possible for his knowledge, patience, sweet demeanor and excellent English. Thank you Fuji-san for an unforgettable day!

Kyoto Private Taxi Tour with Customizable Itinerary & English-Speaking Guide

Downright Fantastic - convenience and quality in a nutshell

Reviewed by: Colin L

Our group consisted four adults including two 6'3 250 lb guys. Our driver, Fuji, was an absolute pleasure; well spoken, well prepared, insightful and courteous. We were picked up in a Toyota Century - a $100,000 luxury sedan. As a car enthusiast this was a delight as it's something we don't get stateside and the only V12 made by Toyota (outside of Formula 1!). We were very comfortable in the car. I had written up a plan of sites to see, Fuji commented on each location and we pared it down to 6 chosen locations.

What we saw in our 6 hour tour was easily 2 days worth of content. We started the day at Kennin-ji to see the dragon and walk the grounds, then headed towards Arashiyama via Uzumasa (Fuji recommended). In Arashiyama we saw the Tenryu-ji temple then walked along the Bamboo Forest road, we split for the monkeys and an owl cafe. Then took in the Katsura River and the general beautiful scenery with some shopping and headed for Kinkaku-Ji by way of Ninna-ji. Then we went to Fuji's secret overview spot with a glass tea house. From there we walked the 1001 Buddha statues in Sanjusangendo where Fuji gave history lessons on the deities, the religious text/background and archery competition famous to the area. Finally we were dropped off in Gion to walk Shirakawa-Minami Dori and observe the geisha and folks in costume with the beautiful scenery.

Fuji's insightful comments to each site were well appreciated, his VIP treatment with drop off/pick up was a boon for our more handicap party members and the ability to adjust the tour (bathroom, food, etc.) was well worth the extra expense over a comparable tour bus. His suggested locations and activities gave us a behind the scenes look in Kyoto as well as the typical iconography in the area. We will happily use this service again in our next trip.

For a group of 3 or more individuals this type of tour makes good financial sense and the convenience over a tour bus or larger grouped setting is invaluable.

The happenings are also enjoyable. ハップニングもまた楽し

Reviewed by: KH0N

After the tour departed, we received a call from a passenger who was late, and we waited at the meeting point in Namba. Although the regulations clearly state that this would be considered abandonment of the tour, perhaps due to the kindness of the tour guide, we waited for 27 minutes and started late.

There was no booing from the other passengers, including families with children, and the mood was quite pleasant as we set off. Many of the tour participants were foreigners, and languages like English and Tagalog were being spoken on the bus, creating an exotic atmosphere that felt like we were traveling abroad.

The three spots on the course had changed completely from my visit several decades ago, allowing for a refreshing sightseeing experience. Although the schedule became a bit tight to recover from the late start, there was no sense of urgency, and we had enough time to enjoy the sights.

However, on the way back, we encountered a major incident on the highway, resulting in a significant traffic jam. The tour guide was visibly stressed as the vehicle had another schedule to adhere to. I had reserved a Shinkansen ticket for two hours after the tour ended, but due to the delay, I had to run to catch the train at the platform, just making it to the rear boarding gate safely.

This will likely become a memorable part of my enjoyable trip. I rated my experience as "average" because while the delays in departure and return were not the travel company's fault, I believe that if the tour guide had checked the post-tour schedules of the current passengers and provided appropriate advice rather than focusing on adjusting the next tour, it could have earned a "highest" rating.

(Please understand that I am not criticizing the tour guide's response; I am simply sharing the perspective of a passenger who was anxiously checking the time on the bus.)

ツアー発車後乗り遅れた客から連絡、難波の集合場所で待機、規定では前途放棄とみなすと明記してあるも、添乗員さんの優しさか、待つこと27分、遅れてのスタートでした。
遅れてきた子供連れファミリーにブーイングもなく和やかなムードでの出発となりました。
ツアー客は外国人の方が多く、英語、タガログ語などが社内で飛び交い、エキゾチックな雰囲気でまるで外国旅行をしているようなムードでした。
コースの3スポットは数十年前の訪問時とは全くイメージが変わっており、新鮮な気持ちで観光できました。
遅れたスタートのスケジュール回復のため、若干タイトな行程となりましたが、時間的にはそんなに切迫感もなく、十分拝観することが出来ました。
ところが帰路ハップニング、高速道路で事故があっており、大渋滞に巻き込まれてしまいました。当該車両は次のスケジュールもあり添乗員さんはその対応に大変な様子でした。
私は少し余裕をみてツアー終了後2時間の新幹線を予約していましたが、ツアーの遅れで新幹線ホームで走りやっと後尾の乗降口でセーフとなりました。
これも楽しい旅の思い出になりそうです。
体験談での評価を「普通」とさせていただいたのは、出発遅れや帰着遅れは決して旅行会社のせいではありませんが、バスの次ツアーの調整よりも、現ツアー客のツアー後のスケジュールを確認し、適切なアドバイスを頂けたら「最高」の評価になったと思います。
(決して添乗員さんの対応を非難しているわけでなく、車内で時計をみながらやきもきしていた一乗客の意見として拝読いただければ幸甚です。)

It's better to understand English. 英語は理解できた方が良い

Reviewed by: カピバラさん

I participated with my parents. Since it was rainy, traveling by bus was indeed convenient.
The lunch venue was closed for the holiday, so we had to change the restaurant, which also changed the course (there was no train travel). The tour guide mentioned this in English, but there was no mention of it in the Japanese explanation. I understood the course change since I speak English, but my parents were completely unaware due to the lack of explanation in Japanese, and they didn't find out about the cancellation of the train travel until we were on our way to Kinkaku-ji.
The importance of thoroughly communicating information seems to depend on the tour guide. I was a bit frustrated.

両親を連れて参加。雨模様だったのでバス移動はやはり便利でした。
昼食会場が休日だったためお店を変更、それに伴いコースも変更になりました(電車移動がなくなった)。添乗員さんの説明は英語ではそのことに触れていたのですが、日本語の説明では全く触れず。私は英語が分かるのでコース変更をわかっていましたが、両親は日本語での説明が無かったので全く知らず、電車の移動がなくなったことは金閣寺に向かう時まで知りませんでした。
情報の周知徹底をどの程度重要視するのか、添乗員さんによると思います。私は少しイライラしました。

My mother and I used a course without meals departing from Osaka.

On the day we participated, about 20% of the participants were Japanese, while the others were from China, South Korea, and Taiwan.

At first, we considered using public transportation to visit the sightseeing spots on our own, but it was great to have a bus guide us, allowing us to see everything efficiently without getting lost.

We were able to take our time at the sightseeing locations without being rushed.

There are many stalls and shops at the tourist spots, so I recommend trying some snacks along the way with the no-meal course.

If the opportunity arises, I would like to participate in another tour.

母と二人で大阪発着のお食事無しのコースを利用しました。

私達が参加した日は日本人参加者が2割程度で、他の参加者は中国・韓国・台湾などでした。

最初は自分たちで公共交通機関を利用して観光地を巡ろうかと考えていましたが、バスで案内して頂いて観光出来るので迷うことなく効率的に見れたので良かったです。

観光場所でも時間に追われることなく、ゆっくりと見れました。

観光地では屋台やお店がたくさんあるので、お食事無しコースでちょこちょこ買い食いするのもオススメです。

The course was Kinkaku-ji → Arashiyama and Togetsukyo (photo opportunities only) → Tenryu-ji and the garden → Bamboo Grove → Lunch (Tenkaippin) → Nishiki Market → Kiyomizu-dera → JR Kyoto Station. I think this is a great service for entertaining foreigners. I would like to use this service again next time. Thank you very much!

Reviewed by: はやこう

On the second day of our trip to Kobe, Kyoto, and Osaka with my wife, we joined this monitor tour. It was an exciting tour as it was my first time in Kyoto in 35 years since my school trip, and we were looking forward to visiting Kinkaku-ji. Unfortunately, it was drizzling, but our tour guide, Honey, kept the microphone in hand and provided us with information about the sightseeing spots almost the entire time. It was really great.

Fushimi Inari Shrine was, as expected, very popular among foreigners and was crowded, but I was able to take the photos I wanted. Kiyomizu-dera was also quite busy, but we were able to see it smoothly. Kinkaku-ji, which I was most looking forward to, was rainy, but I took a lot of photos there as well.

Since transportation in Kyoto mainly relies on buses, this tour made it very easy to see everything. I would like to visit Kyoto again, so I will join a bus tour next time as well.

Greedy Tour! 欲張りツアー!

Reviewed by: たぬわんこ

I had always given up on sightseeing in Kyoto due to time constraints, but this time, since the hotel I was staying at was the meeting point, I joined my friends!

On the bus, the tour guide provided a humorous and easy-to-understand introduction to each landmark in both English and Japanese. First, we visited Fushimi Inari Taisha. We moved quickly from the parking lot to avoid getting separated and then had some free time. The weather was beautiful, and the vermilion of the thousand torii gates against the sunlight was stunning. I was overwhelmed, especially seeing the dignified fox statues for the first time.

Next, we headed to Kiyomizu-dera. There were many people and cars. The main hall was impressive, and the view of Kyoto city from the stage was beautiful. I thought the scenery must be even more breathtaking in spring and autumn. We also had the chance to look at souvenirs. For lunch, we went to a certain building. Since we were on a course without lunch, we gathered delicious information from the tour guide and went to a restaurant in the same building. It was delicious! The taste of the miso soup was unforgettable (laughs).

We traveled by train, then bus, to Kinkaku-ji. The golden pavilion was very dazzling. There were quite a few people here as well, but I was able to take great photos and look at souvenirs.

Although it was a bit rushed, it was truly a fulfilling tour where I didn’t have to worry about transportation or time at all. I thought it would be easy to join even as a solo traveler! It turned out to be a very enjoyable trip, and I would love to participate again in different seasons. Thank you very much to the tour guide and the driver!!

時間等の問題でいつもあきらめていた京都観光。今回は宿泊していたホテルが集合場所ということもあり友人と参加しました!
車内では添乗員さんが英語と日本語で各名所の紹介をユーモアたっぷりで分かりやすく説明してくれました。まず、伏見稲荷大社へ。駐車場からちょっと早足ではぐれないよう移動そして自由行動。お天気も良く、千本鳥居の朱色と太陽の光が何とも美しく、凛としたキツネの姿など見れ、初めてだった私は圧倒されました。
次は清水寺へ。人も車も多かったです。本堂は迫力あり、舞台からの眺める京都市内は綺麗でした。春と秋は更に絶景だろうなと思いました。お土産も見る事が出来ました。昼食はとあるビルへ。私たちは昼食無しコースの為、添乗員さんからのおいしい情報を収集し同ビルのお店へ。美味!絶品‼特にお味噌汁の味が忘れられません(笑)
電車で移動~バス~金閣寺へ。金色がとても眩しかったです。こちらもかなり人が多かったですが、写真はバッチリ撮ることが出来たしお土産も見ることが出来ました。
ちょっぴり駆け足だったけど、交通手段や時間を全く気にすることなく本当にお腹いっぱいの満喫ツアーでした。おひとり様でも気軽に参加できる!とも思いましたね。とっても楽しい旅になり、色んな季節にまた参加したいなあ~と思いました。添乗員さん、運転士さん、どうもありがとうございました!!

Our driver Fuji was perfect! He spoke fluent English and was very discreet at all times. He helped us understand a little more at our tour spots and took us at the right time to each one. Even dropped us off at the Kyoto station dot on time, as expected. He was full of little extra tit bit info which I found fascinating. I would highly recommend Mr. Fuji as a guide for anyone wanting to explore Kyoto by limo.

I was able to fully enjoy sightseeing in Kyoto. 京都観光を満喫することができました

Reviewed by: AK_1009

Thank you for your assistance with my sightseeing in Kyoto.
I participated in the tour of the three major attractions (Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, and Kinkaku-ji).
At Kiyomizu-dera, there was a large colored paper displayed the day after the announcement of this year's kanji, and many people in kimono could be seen. The scenery of the falling autumn leaves and people in kimono, with the occasional breeze, felt very much like Kyoto.
At Kinkaku-ji, the suddenly appearing golden building and the reflection in the pond were truly magnificent, making me forget the time.
The tour bus was a new yellow (lemon-colored) bus, and the interior was very clean, which made it easy to find the right bus at each sightseeing spot without getting lost.
The guide's explanations were clear, and announcements were made at just the right moments, allowing me to fully enjoy my Kyoto sightseeing experience.
I participated from the Kanto region, and it had been since my school trip that I visited Kyoto, but as an adult, I was able to appreciate the charm of Kyoto and had a memorable day.
I would like to use your services again when I visit Kyoto next time, so thank you in advance.

京都観光お世話になりました。
三大名所(伏見稲荷大社、清水寺、金閣寺)観光に参加しました。
清水寺では、今年の漢字の発表翌日で大きな色紙が飾られており、着物姿の方も多く見られ、時より風が吹いて散る紅葉と着物姿の風景が、とても京都らしく感じられました。
金閣寺では、突如現れた金色の建物と池に映える景色がとても素晴らしく、時間を忘れるくらいでした。
ツアーのバスは黄色い(レモン色)新しいバスで、室内も清掃が行き届いており、とても綺麗なバスでした。その為、各観光名所でも迷うことなく、目的のバスにたどり着く事ができました。
ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく、説明してほしいタイミングで適時アナウンスが入り、京都観光を満喫する事ができました。
関東からの参加で、修学旅行以来の京都観光でしたが、大人になってからの京都は風情を感じられ、記憶に残る一日を過ごすことができました。
京都方面に行った時は、また利用したいと思いますのでよろしくお願いいたします。

Safe and secure! 安心安全❗️

Reviewed by: ミッチ〜〜

To save on travel costs, I participated in my first monitor tour. It was my first bus tour, and I was worried about making it to the meeting point since I was coming from an island without a train. However, I was relieved to spot the meeting location from the window of the train arriving at Osaka Station.

As soon as I headed to the bus, the guide greeted me and led me to a bright yellow bus. Although our seats were assigned, the bus was full that day, with nearly 80% of the passengers being foreigners.

It took about an hour from Osaka to Kyoto, and we arrived at our first sightseeing spot, Fushimi Inari Taisha. Since it was New Year's Eve, the guide mentioned that there would be more people than usual, and I was desperately trying to keep up with the guide! After that, we had some free time—my main goal this trip! I happily walked through the thousands of torii gates. I returned to the bus after enjoying omikuji, souvenirs, and inari sushi.

Next was Kiyomizu-dera, which was also crowded. I went with the flow of the crowd like on a conveyor belt, stopping occasionally to take photos and admire the view of Kyoto from Kiyomizu-dera.

For lunch, the bus stopped at a building with many restaurants, so we had no trouble finding food. However, since we didn't have much time, we opted for ramen in the basement! It was delicious! Finally, we visited Kinkaku-ji. We were blessed with beautiful weather that day, and I was able to see the stunning Kinkaku-ji shining in the sunlight. It felt like a good omen (laughs).

After visiting all the sites, I fell into a deep sleep on the bus back to Osaka, and before I knew it, we had arrived. During this bus tour, there was also SHU, who was fluent in English, and I’m sorry, but I forgot the driver’s name… It was a smooth drive without any surprises.

Now, I'm excited about which bus tour to choose next. Thank you!

少しでも旅行の費用を抑えようと、初のモニターツアーに参加しました。バスツアーは初めてで鉄道の無い島からの参加でした、、待ち合わせ場所にも無事着くかなーって心配してましたが、たまたま大阪駅に着く電車の窓から待ち合わせ場所を発見しホッと一息でした。
早速、バスへ向かうとガイドさんから声を掛けていだだいて、黄色の鮮やかなバスへと案内されました。座席は決まってましたが、その日は満席で8割近く外国の方々でした。
大阪から京都まで約一時間、最初の観光地、伏見稲荷大社に到着です。この日は大晦日で普段以上の人出だとガイドがおっしゃってて、私から離れないように、と、ガイドさんを追っかけるのに必死でした!それからの自由行動〜今回の一番のお目当!千本鳥居⛩をニヤニヤしながらくぐりました。おみくじ、お土産、稲荷寿司を食べながらバスへ戻りました。続いての清水寺もやはり人だかりで、ターンベルトの様に流れに身を任せ、少し立ち止まり写真を撮ったり京都の町並を清水寺から眺めました。さて、お昼ですが、、バスが止まったビルには沢山の飲食店が入ってるビルで食を取るには困りませんでした。しかし、時間がさほどなかったので、私達は地下にあったラーメンをいただきました❗️まいぅ〜〜でしたよ!さぁ〜最後の金閣寺❗️その日は最高にお天気に恵まれて、太陽の日に当たりキラキラ輝く綺麗な金閣寺を見る事が出来ました。御利益
ありそうです(笑)
さて、見学地も終わり大阪に帰るバスは爆睡で、あっというまに到着でした。今回、バスツアーでは
英語も堪能なSHUさん、あと、、すみませんドライバーさんの名前は忘れてしまいましたが…1度もハッとする事なく過ごせたドライブでした。
また、次はどのバスツアーにしようかとワクワクしてます。ありがとうございました。

First time! I participated in a monitor tour and I am very satisfied! 初!モニターツアー参加で大満足!

Reviewed by: まーちゃん

Kyoto is incredibly popular in the fall! I want to visit the classic spots like Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kiyomizu-dera, and Kinkaku-ji! Considering the hassle of traffic and train transfers, I found a bus tour that made it much easier! Plus, it was a great value monitor tour! To sum it up, it was a "well-organized tour!"

At the morning meeting point, the bus seats were already assigned, so we could relax until departure. Since the departure from Umeda is a hotel pickup, even though it's a small hotel, you can enjoy breakfast there before joining the tour. After passing through Namba, we arrived at Fushimi Inari Taisha, where the tour guide provided a shortcut map depending on the crowd (laugh!?), and we visited. Then we went to Kiyomizu-dera, had lunch in Karasuma, and I was impressed by the efficiency of chasing the bus by train for just one station. Next, we headed to Kinkaku-ji, which was as crowded as expected, with the parking lot full! The tour was so well-organized that participants were dropped off first, and the driver communicated the bus stop number to the tour guide later. This is the great thing about bus tours! You can't do that with a private car. We arrived at Kyoto Station feeling very satisfied. The tour guide prayed for us not to hit traffic, but it was fine because everyone was sound asleep, so even if there was traffic, it was okay! Sleeping means we’ll arrive! Isn’t that another great aspect of bus tours?

Finally, although it was stated that the tour would have an accompanying staff member but no guide, Jewel, our tour attendant, provided very clear explanations and enjoyable conversations, fulfilling the role of a guide wonderfully. I had a great time and was very satisfied. I would love to use Veltra's services again somewhere!

秋に大人気の京都!しかも伏見稲荷大社、清水寺、金閣寺というベタなコースに行きたい!
渋滞と電車移動の面倒を考えるとなかなか行くのが億劫になる時に見つけたバスツアー!
しかもお得感溢れるモニターツアー!!ひと言で言うと、「出来たツアー!!」でした。
朝の集合時にはもうバスの座席が決まっているので出発まではゆっくり過ごす事ができます。
しかも梅田発はホテル集合のため小さいホテルですが早く行ってホテル朝食を楽しんでからの参加も可能です。難波を経由して→伏見稲荷大社に到着する頃、添乗員さんから混雑に応じてのショートカットマップ(笑!?)を頂いて拝観。→清水寺へ →烏丸でランチ後バスを電車でひと駅追いかけるという要領の良さに関心しました。→金閣寺へ 予想通りの混雑で駐車場も満杯!バスから参加者を先に降ろして運転手さんがバスの停車スポット番号を後で添乗員さんに連絡するというなんともまた要領の良いツアー。コレコレ!バスツアーの良いところ!自家用車ではそんな事できませんからね。→大満足で京都駅に。渋滞していませんように!と添乗員さんが祈ってくださいましたが、 いいんです 参加者みんな グッスリ寝てましたから渋滞してても大丈夫!!寝てたら着く!これもバスツアーの良いところではないですか!!
最後に添乗員同行 ですがガイドは付きませんと明記の有るツアーでしたが添乗員のジュエルさん!とってもわかり易い説明と楽しいお喋りで、十分ガイド役も果たして下さり
楽しく大満足でした。またどこかでベルトラさんのお世話になりたいです。

A wonderful day in autumn Kyoto. 秋の京都、ステキな一日

Reviewed by: NAO

When I departed from Umeda in Osaka, it was raining quite a bit. I felt disappointed since it was Kyoto, but by the time we arrived in Kyoto, it had turned into a light rain. First, we headed to Fushimi Inari Taisha. There were large torii gates and many people. As we walked up, we finally reached the Senbon Torii. I was excited because I had always wanted to visit. The rain had lessened to the point where we didn't need umbrellas. Passing through the Senbon Torii, I felt a profound sense of reverence. The Omokaru Stone was heavy. Unfortunately, it seems my wish may not come true just yet. At Kiyomizu-dera, we even caught glimpses of clear skies. The contrast of the red autumn leaves against the brief blue sky was beautiful. It wasn't too crowded, allowing us to worship smoothly. The autumn leaves at Kinkaku-ji were also lovely. Our tour guide, Harry, was fantastic. This time, I was with a multinational group, and although I couldn't speak directly with them, it seemed everyone understood Harry's fluent explanations in English, Chinese, and Korean, and they were all very cheerful and enjoying themselves without being late for the gathering. I also found it helpful for my conversation studies. Thank you very much.

大阪梅田を出発する時は雨が結構降っていました。せっかくの京都なのに、と残念に思いましたが、京都に着く頃には、小雨となりました。まずは伏見稲荷大社へ。大きな鳥居があって、たくさんの人でした。テクテク上がり、いよいよ千本鳥居です。一度は訪れてみたかったのでワクワクです。雨も傘がいらないくらいになりました。千本鳥居をくぐると、何とも厳かな気持ちになりました。おもかる石は重かったです。残念ですが、望みはまだまだかないそうもありません。清水寺では晴れ間も覗きました。紅の紅葉に一瞬の青空がキレイです。さほど混雑しておらず、スムーズに参拝することができました。金閣寺の紅葉もよかったです。ツアーガイドのハリーさんもサイコーでした。今回のツアーは多国籍の方々とご一緒で、直接お話しすることはできなかったのですが、ハリーさんの流暢な英語、中国語、韓国語の説明に理解されていたようで、集合にも遅れることもなく、とてもにこやかに楽しそうにされていました。私自身も会話の勉強になりました。ありがとうございました。

Experience report on the popular bus tour visiting the three major temples: Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, and Fushimi Inari Taisha. 清水寺・金閣寺・伏見稲荷大社バスツアー 人気の3大寺社めぐりの体験談

Reviewed by: 八代 義博

I am a Japanese person who has settled in the ancient city of Chiang Mai, Thailand, and I travel to various countries. This time, it was quite a challenge to quickly and inexpensively visit the main tourist spots in Kyoto, which can be difficult for travelers. After living in Thailand for 10 years, I was planning a trip back to Japan for two weeks to thoroughly explore the major cities and representative tourist sites of Japan.

I believe the top attractions are the shrines and temples in Kyoto. There are so many highlights in Kyoto, and deciding where to start visiting the main tourist spots was crucial for me, especially to please my wife (who is Thai). Before the trip, I spent a lot of time searching the internet, focusing on budget and itinerary.

While searching online, I quickly found this bus tour. The reason I chose Shinki Bus Tours was that it offered a quick and affordable way to explore. The tour included popular sites: Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, and Fushimi Inari Taisha. Since I was also planning to extend my trip to Osaka, the meeting point was perfectly set at Kyoto Shinkansen Station, with the return at Osaka Namba Station, fitting my travel route perfectly. The price was reasonable, so it was an easy decision.

After researching Shinki Bus Tours, I found that they are a well-established company offering bus tours, which made me feel secure about my booking. On the day of the tour, the staff member was waiting at Kyoto Station with a sign, making it easy to find them. After confirming our names, everything proceeded as scheduled.

It seemed that the meeting point was a bit hard to find, as others were wandering around, but the staff member kindly approached those looking confused, and once everyone was gathered, we departed on time. The combination of trains and buses was well-organized, saving time and allowing us to visit the tourist spots efficiently. I was impressed by how well they managed the itinerary.

The bright yellow bus and the staff member's yellow jacket made it easy to identify, ensuring we didn't lose track of time or the group. The explanations of the tourist sites were concise and efficient, without any unnecessary shopping stops that are often found on tours. The shopping opportunities were straightforward, with explanations that the products were unique and available for tasting, which was refreshing compared to other bus guides.

Moreover, dining at tourist spots can be about 20% more expensive, but we were taken to a building where local people eat, allowing us to enjoy a delicious and affordable lunch, which was satisfying. The guide provided historical context about figures like Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga, but they focused more on practical information like photo opportunities, meeting times, and restroom locations, which were far more important.

As we were a couple on this trip, the guide was considerate about restroom availability, noting that there were often long lines for women's restrooms and suggesting alternatives if needed. Traveling can change one's lifestyle and help discover a new self, and I found myself enjoying a drink (beer) and, as a result, needing to use the restroom more often, which the guide managed well.

We also shared the bus with foreign tourists, and there were no issues; Japanese passengers sat in the front while foreigners were in the back, making for a comfortable ride. This is likely why the tour is so popular.

At Fushimi Inari, it takes over an hour to walk the entire path, but the guide provided shortcuts for those who wanted to return early, which was helpful for older participants. Looking back, the scenery with the many torii gates became somewhat repetitive, but it was just the right amount of sightseeing.

At Kinkaku-ji and Kiyomizu-dera, the guide pointed out the best spots for photos, and my wife and I captured some great pictures, especially at the stunning reflection point at Kinkaku-ji. I am grateful for the guide's advice, which made the

とかこのコースはどんなかなとか楽しさが倍増して今から今後のツアーを

I thought it would be difficult to travel using public transportation since the places I wanted to visit were far apart, so I joined this tour that covers Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizu-dera, and Kinkaku-ji. They provided enough time to fully enjoy each site, so there was no rush, and it didn't feel like the typical hectic tour experience.

At Fushimi Inari, they handed out maps and pointed out the highlights. They were knowledgeable about the shops along the approach, and it was a fun conversation.

We had particularly long time at Kiyomizu-dera, so we were able to have lunch at a place they recommended and buy souvenirs. The autumn leaves were just starting to change, and it was very beautiful. We did the inner sanctum tour, but I gave up on drinking the water that grants wishes because the line was too long due to school trips.

At Kinkaku-ji, they also pointed out good photo spots, and I was able to take nice pictures. Since we were on the same bus as those taking other courses, there was some waiting time, but I think it was better than transferring between trains and buses on my own. Everyone else was foreign tourists, but the guide provided the same information in Japanese, so there was nothing to worry about.

I'm glad I participated in the tour. Thank you very much.

行きたい場所が離れているので公共機関での移動が大変だと思い、伏見稲荷、清水寺、金閣寺を回るこちらのツアーに参加しました。どちらも十分に観光できる時間を取って下さったので、余裕があり、いわゆるツアーのバタバタはありませんでした。
伏見稲荷は、マップを配って下さり、見所を教えてくださいました。参道のお店もお詳しく、楽しいお話しでした。
清水寺での時間は特に長かったので、途中教えて頂いた場所でランチを食べたり、お土産を買ったりもしました。
紅葉が始まりかけで、とても美しかったです。胎内巡りをしましたが、飲むと願いが叶う水、は、修学旅行の行列が長く、諦めました。
金閣寺も、写真スポットなど教えて頂き、良い写真が撮れました。
他のコースを回られる方と同じバスでしたので、待つ時間が出ましたが、自分で電車バスを乗り継いで移動するより、良かったと思います。私たち以外は外国の方ばかりでしたが、ガイドさんも日本語でも同じようにご案内して下さいましたし、困ることは何もありませんでした。
ツアーに参加して良かったと思います。ありがとうございました。
