All Reviews for Fushimi Inari

I expected that the guide would cater to both foreigners and Japanese people based on everyone's experiences, but most of the guidance was in English. They do provide the necessary parts in Japanese, but since it was my first time in Kyoto, I was disappointed that I expected more guidance in Japanese. The guide seemed concerned, asking if it was okay since it was a tour for foreigners. I got the impression that the guide was making an effort to provide explanations in Japanese as well. It was good that we were able to visit various popular spots, as we wouldn't have been able to do so efficiently on our own.

皆さんの体験談から、外国の方と日本人の両方向けにガイドしてくれると思っていましたが、英語での案内が大部分を占めていました。最低限の必要な部分は日本語でも案内してくれます。
初めての京都でしたので、もっと日本語でも案内してくれるものだと期待していたので残念でした。
ガイドの方にも外国人向けのツアーですが、大丈夫ですか？といった感じで心配されました。
ガイドさんも気を遣って、頑張って日本語の案内もしてくださっていた印象です。
自分たちだけでは人気スポットを効率よく観光する事はできなかったので、色々回れたことは良かったです。

I took my 70-year-old parents, who suffer from back pain, on a sightseeing trip to Kyoto. Since walking to places like Kiyomizu-dera and from the hotel to the train and bus would be difficult for them, I booked a sightseeing taxi. The driver, Mr. Kato, kindly and thoroughly gave us advice, allowing us to make the most of our time.

During the ride, he entertained us with stories about Kyoto and its attractions, making it a wonderful trip. We rented the taxi for five hours and were able to visit Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kiyomizu-dera, and Arashiyama. Unfortunately, we missed our stop on the tram and couldn't make it to the Bamboo Grove, but if we hadn't made that mistake, we could have visited four attractions in the five-hour course. When we visit Kyoto again, we will definitely ask for Mr. Kato's assistance! (Travelers from Okinawa)

70歳の腰痛持ちの両親を連れて京都観光へ
清水寺も歩くし、ホテルから電車やバスまで歩いたりするのも大変だろうからと、観光タクシーを予約。運転手の加藤さんが親切に丁寧にアドバイスしてくれて、時間も有意義に使う事ができました＾＾
移動中も京都の話や観光地などのお話で楽しませてくれて凄く良い旅になりました。
５時間レンタルしましたが、稲荷神社、清水寺、嵐山まで行けました＾＾
トロッコで下車を間違えてしまったので竹林の小径まではいけず残念でしたが、自分達が間違えてなければ５時間コースで4つの観光は出来てましたね(^_^;)京都行く際は又加藤さんよろしくお願いします＾＾（沖縄からの旅行客）

The sightseeing time was very well considered... I was able to fully enjoy the places I wanted to visit in Kyoto‼️

What was disappointing was that for lunch... I had ordered the tofu set meal, but everyone on the bus had the tempura set meal.

But! Everyone on the bus was very gentlemanly, and I had a very meaningful day! I am grateful! Thank you very much!

それぞれの観光時間も、とても配慮された時間内で‥
きょうとの行きたかった所を‼️
満喫させて貰いました！

残念だったのが
昼食で‥豆腐御膳を頼んでたのに‥
バスの皆んな全員が、天ぷら御膳でした

でも！　
バスの中も紳士的な方ばかりで‥
とても有意義な1日を過ごさせて頂き！
感謝してます！　ありがとうございました！

There was someone who wrote about this experience before, and anyway, the meeting place is hard to find... It seems that nothing has improved since it was written before. I would like it to be made clear at a glance that this is the meeting place.
The bus tour was great, and the tour guide's service was excellent, so I was very satisfied.
If I have another opportunity to go to Kyoto, I would like to participate in a different course.
Thank you very much.

以前、この体験談で書かれていた方がいましたが とにかく集合場所が分かりにくい... 以前 書かれていた時から全く改善されていないようでした。一目でここが集合場所と分かるようにして欲しいです。
バスツアーの方は添乗員さんの対応も良く大満足でした。
また京都に行く機会があれば別のコースで参加したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

I was satisfied to be able to visit famous spots in one day. I would like to come again during the off-peak season. The guide was kind and charming, making it a great memory. Thank you very much.

有名所を一日で回れて満足です。
今度はオフピークの時期にまた来たいです。
ガイドさんも親切、チャーミングで良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

I joined Maria's tour with an American who was visiting Kyoto for the first time. It seemed challenging to guide in both Japanese and English, but it was very informative and I was extremely satisfied. If you were to explore on your own, you wouldn't be able to cover this much in a day, so I think it's a well-structured plan for first-time visitors to Kyoto. However, for those who want to take their time, revisiting on a separate day might be a good option. I definitely want to recommend this to my friends.

京都初めてのアメリカ人と一緒にマリアさんのツアーに参加しました。
日本語と英語両方でガイドされて大変そうでしたが、とてもinformative で大満足でした。個人だと１日でここまでまわれないので、京都初めての人にはとても良く構成されたプランだと思います。ただ、ゆっくり周りたい方は個別で後日に再訪もアリかな、と思います。友達にもぜひおすすめしたいです。

We were taken care of by a three-generation family, including my daughter and grandchild. The driver was a veteran and had enjoyable conversations, which made my 4-year-old grandchild very happy. Thank you very much!

娘・孫と一緒の3世代でお世話になりました
ドライバーさんはベテランでトークも楽しく、4才の孫も喜んでました
どうもありがとうございました

I only had three hours due to my next appointment, but they kindly suggested various places I could visit within that time. They took me on a route that only a professional would know, and despite the short time, I was quite satisfied with the experience.

次の予定もあり、3時間しかお願い出来なかったんですが、親身になって時間内に色々な場所をまわれるようにと、提案して頂きました。
プロの方ならではのルートを走って貰って、少しの時間の割には、満足の行くものでした

The weather was favorable, and all the activities went smoothly. The tour guide's instructions and explanations were very clear, which was great. I was with my third-grade child, but we were able to enjoy the schedule without any strain. Additionally, having the Kyoto tofu meal made lunchtime enjoyable as well. We were able to move around without wasting time, making it a fulfilling day. I would like to participate again.

お天気にも恵まれ、すべての行程が滞りなく進みました。添乗員さんの案内や説明もとても分かりやすくてよかったです。小学３年生の子供連れでしたが、無理のないスケジュールで楽しめました。また、京豆腐御膳つきにしたことで、お昼も楽しめました。時間のロスなくまわることができ、充実した一日でした。また参加したいです。

I participated from outside the prefecture. Since I wasn't familiar with the geography, the transportation was a great help. I was surprised to see many foreign participants who boarded the bus wet without using an umbrella or left their wet umbrellas in the luggage compartment. The tour guide was very kind, and I was happy that they provided directions when I had to leave and use the train. The driver also drove safely. I would like to use this service again if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much.

県外からの参加でした。地理も分からなかったので移動が大変助かりました。参加者の中には外国人の方が多く、傘をささずに濡れたままバスに乗り込む方や濡れた傘を荷台にそのまま置かれる方もいらっしゃったので驚きました。添乗員の方がとても親切で、途中、離脱して電車を利用する時も道案内をして下さり嬉しかったです。運転手の方も安全運転でした。また機会がありました時には利用したいと思います。有難うございました。

It was great to see various sights on the bus tour. The explanations were provided in both English and Japanese, and there were some funny talks, which made it enjoyable. The food was good, and the dessert was the most delicious. I made wonderful memories of my trip to Kyoto.

バスツアーで、いろいろ観て回れたので
良かったです。
英語と日本語で説明してくれて、
笑えるトークもあり、楽しかったです。
お料理は、デザートが一番美味しかったです。
京都旅行の良い思い出ができました。

The guide was easy to understand and kind. I'm glad I was able to participate! If there’s another opportunity, I would appreciate it.

ガイドの方が、わかりやすく親切でした(⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)
参加できて良かったです！
また、機会がありましたら、宜しくお願いします。

I was grateful for the tour guide who explained in both English and Japanese since my husband is American! It was very easy and convenient to visit a wide range of sightseeing spots by bus. The tofu lunch was also delicious. Since there is quite a bit of walking, comfortable shoes are a must. Even though it was the off-season, there were still a lot of tourists, and it was quite crowded, so choosing the bus tour was the right decision.

主人がアメリカ人なので、英語と日本語両方で説明して下さる添乗員の方が有り難かった！　広い範囲の観光名所をバスで周れるので、とにかく簡単で楽ちんでした。　お昼のお豆腐ランチも美味しかった。　結構歩くので歩きやすい靴は必須。　オフシーズンでしたが、それでも観光客がとても多くて、ゴチャゴチャしてますのでバスツアーにして正解でした。　

This is a great tour for those who want to quickly explore in just one day. Anyway, Kyoto is very crowded, so utilizing a tour is a good option.

時間がなく一日でさっと回りたい人にはいいツアーです。とにかく京都は人が多いので、ツアーの活用も一つの手段として良いです。

They can also hold your suitcase, so I think it's a good idea to participate even on the last day of your trip. You can visit four tourist spots, making for a very fulfilling day.

スーツケースなども預かって頂けるので旅行最終日なのに参加してみるのも良いと思います。
観光地を4ヶ所も回れるのですごく充実した1日になります。

It was the middle of a three-day weekend, and the only sunny day in Kyoto. This was my second bus tour in Kyoto, a luxurious tour visiting four locations. I had been to these places before, but I participated again because I wanted to go back.

At Fushimi Inari, I went through the torii gates a little and then checked out the souvenir shops on the back path. I also bought a "key charm for achievement," which features a key held by a fox. After finishing our sightseeing, we gathered on the path. Then, we all walked to the bus meeting point, but we got delayed for about 20 minutes because the crossing was closed, which made me anxious. Since everyone was together, the path was indeed the correct meeting point.

Once we arrived at Kiyomizu-dera, we had lunch right away. We had chosen a plan that included a Kyoto yudofu meal, so we could eat as soon as we sat down. It was extremely crowded, so opting for lunch was definitely the right choice. The view from Kiyomizu-dera was amazing.

Kinkaku-ji also had great weather and a wonderful view. We felt like we had a bit of extra time, which was nice.

At Arashiyama, we were a bit short on time. The guide took us to the bamboo grove, but during my last visit to Kyoto, I spent too much time in the bamboo grove and missed out on seeing and shopping on the main street of Arashiyama, so this time I quickly looked at the bamboo and returned. It was so crowded that I thought having two hours for sightseeing would be good. We crossed the Togetsukyo Bridge and then headed back to the bus meeting point. Managing time in Arashiyama was challenging.

There were also foreign visitors, but the guide explained everything thoroughly. I wondered if the foreign guests would be able to keep to the schedule, but their manners were good.

三連休真ん中、唯一晴れの京都でした。
京都のバスツアーは、2回目。4箇所回る贅沢ツアー。4箇所行ったことがあったけど、また行きたいという思いから参加をしました。
稲荷伏見は、鳥居を少しくぐって戻り、裏参道のお土産屋さんを見ました。また、「達成のかぎ守」を購入。狐がくわえている鍵を買いました。観光し終わったら、参道に集合。その後、みなさんでバス集合場所まで歩くのですが、踏み切りが開かずの間になり20分くらいかかり焦りました。みなさん一緒だったので集合場所は、参道が正解ですね。
清水寺についたら、すぐにランチ。私たちは、京湯豆腐御膳付きプランにしていたので、席に着いたらすぐに食べることができました。ものすごく混んでいるので、ランチ付きにして正解でした。清水寺からみた景色は最高でした。
金閣寺も、天気がよく、とても素晴らしい景色。ちょっと時間が余った感じでしたが、良かったです。
最後の嵐山は、時間がたりないくらい。ガイドさんが竹林まで案内してくれましたが、前回京都にきた時、竹林に時間をかけすぎて、嵐山のメイン通りで見たり買ったり出来ず残念だったので、竹林はサクッと見て戻りました。とにかく混んでて2時間観光時間があってもいいかなと思うくらい。とりあえず、渡月橋も渡って見て、バス集合場所まで戻りました。時間配分が難しい嵐山でした。
外国の方もいらっしゃい増したが、ガイドさんが丁寧に説明されていたし、また外国の方、時間厳守できるのかな？と思いましたが、マナーも良かったです。

I was really helped by being able to explore the city of Kyoto on my own from Osaka Station. I had a wonderful trip. The guide was also kind and taught me a lot of things, thank you. It was very helpful.

京都の街をこれだけ大阪駅から個人でまわれたので本当に助かりました とてもいい旅が出来ました。ガイドさんも親切でいろいろ教えてくださいました、ありがとうございます。助かりました。

The guide provided explanations in both Japanese and English alternately, and was quick and friendly, which made the tour enjoyable! They also adapted the sightseeing schedule flexibly due to traffic conditions.

ガイドさんが日本語と英語で交互にこまめに説明してくれ、対応もテキパキしていて気さくだったのでパスツアーが楽しめました！交通事情により観光の時間も臨機応変に対応していました。

It was a trip for my high school classmates to celebrate our 60th birthdays. Everyone had their own circumstances, so we could only plan a 1-night, 2-day trip with time constraints both ways. I knew that public buses in Kyoto City were convenient, but to cover all the places we wanted to visit in the limited time, we chose a taxi for six people. We rented it for five hours, achieving our goals door-to-door! Not only were we able to go together as a group of six, but we also managed to visit all the places we wanted, which made us very satisfied. The taxi driver was kind, had interesting stories, and even gave us advice for the next day, making our trip even more fulfilling. Thank you very much. I would definitely like to use a taxi again.

高校の同級生6人との還暦旅行でした。みんな、それぞれの事情があって1泊2日しか予定が組めず、往復共に時間制限のある旅でした。京都市は市バスが便利なことは知っていましたが、限られた時間で、行きたい所を全て網羅するために、6人乗りタクシーを選びました。５時間貸し切り、ドアツードアで目的達成！6人で行くことができただけでなく、行きたい場所にも全部行くことができ大満足でした。タクシーの運転手さんは、親切でお話も面白く、翌日のアドバイスまで頂き、旅がより充実したものになりました。本当にありがとうございました。また、タクシーを使いたいと思います。

I have visited Kyoto multiple times. The combination of sightseeing and meals at four locations was better than expected. No complaints.

Guide Mr. Oshima did a great job. Double circle ◎◎◎.

The only concern I had was Mr. Oshima's English pronunciation and grammar. I apologize for this comment, but Mr. Oshima:
1. Lacks the third-person singular 's'
2. Uses the present tense instead of the past tense
3. Makes many mistakes with plural forms

However, despite some grammatical errors, Mr. Oshima communicated effectively in English. I had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful person.

Thank you very much. I used to work for a trading company.

I apologize for the rude comment. Please say hello to Mr. Oshima. The current approach is just fine.

何度も京都観光をしてます。四カ所観光✙食事、値段以上に良かったです。
文句なし。
ガイドの大島さん、良くぐあんばってました。二重丸◎◎◎
気になったのは、大島さんの英語の発音と文法だけなんです。
大変申し訳ないコメントで悪いけど、大島さんは
①三人称単数形のSがない
②過去形がなくて全て現在形
③複数形の間違いが多い

でも、文法を多少間違えようと通じる英語の大島さん
素晴らしい方とお目にかかりました。

有難うございます。
私は商社にいましたので　

失礼なコメント、ゴメン
大島さんによろしく
今のスタンスでいいですよ

Not very friendly.
The boarding area is hard to find, and not having a company phone number to make inquiries is a big problem.

It's not acceptable to not receive a confirmation call even when the time has come.

あまり親切ではない。
乗り場は分かりにくいし、会社の電話番号がないから問い合わせできないのは大問題

時間になっても確認の電話もないのはダメだろ

The plan was to visit the main tourist attractions in Kyoto by bus. Unfortunately, there was traffic in the city, and popular spots like Fushimi Inari Shrine and Kiyomizu Temple were crowded with tourists, which caused delays in the bus arrivals and reduced our free time. However, I was very satisfied that we were able to visit Arashiyama while it was still light out.

The tour guide was very kind, and their detailed explanations for foreign visitors showed their dedication. This trip was a wonderful experience for me and my son. I think the tour planning was excellent. It would be difficult to visit all the scattered attractions in one day on your own.

京都の主要観光地をバスで廻れるというプランでした。残念ながら京都市内も車で渋滞、伏見稲荷神社や清水寺など人気観光地も観光客でいっぱいだったため、バスの到着に遅れが生じて自由時間が少なくなって残念な一面もありましたが、明るいうちに嵐山へ行く事が出来てとても満足なツアーでした。
添乗員さんもとても優しく、外国人への説明も詳しく一生懸命さが伝わってきました。
今回は息子との二人旅でしたが、とても楽しい旅行になりました。
ツアーの企画としてもとても良かったと思います。個人ではあちこちに点在してる観光地をまとめて一日で回ることは難しいと思います。

We participated in a New Year's tour in Kyoto with our family. At first, I was a bit worried about the traffic since it was New Year's, but everything went very smoothly and efficiently. If we had gone by our own car, I think we would have had concerns about parking and access, but since we took the bus, those worries were eliminated, making it stress-free. It was really great. Thank you very much.

家族でお正月の京都のツアーに参加させて頂きました。
初めはお正月だし、車も混んで時間がどうなるんだろう、と少し不安でしたが、
問題なくとても効率良かったです。
自家用車で行っていたら、駐車場の心配やアクセスの心配があったと思いますが、バスなので、
それがなくてストレスフリーでした。
とても良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

It was just my daughter and me, and it was definitely the right choice to use a taxi! We were able to move quickly, and our guide, Mr. Tsuchida, was fun and very knowledgeable, which made it a great experience. As we get older, convenient transportation becomes the most important thing.

娘と二人でしたが、タクシーを使って正解でした！早く移動できたし、ガイドの土田さんは楽しく、知識が豊富でとても楽しかったです。歳になると、とにかく便利な移動が一番

On the first day, a veteran driver came and kindly provided thorough explanations once again. Thank you very much for your help over the two days.

1日目のベテランドライバーさんが来てくださり、またまた丁寧に説明をしてくださいました。2日間にわたり大変お世話になりありがとうございました。

I thought I would just be taken to the places I wanted to go, but I was very satisfied with the detailed explanations of the tourist attractions as well.

行きたい場所に連れていってもらうだけだと思っていたのですが、観光名所の説明も詳しくして下さり大満足でした。

Four years ago, during the COVID-19 pandemic, I planned a trip with my wife as part of our honeymoon, and I found this LIMON tour! We participated in a tour from Namba Station to Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizu Temple, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama. The tour content is enjoyable for both Japanese and foreign tourists. When we participated, there were only two Japanese people, my wife and me, but the tour staff member, Maria, was very considerate, and we are grateful for that. After the English announcements for the places we were going to visit, she also explained things to us, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing without any inconvenience. She was always nearby, which made us feel secure while touring.

It seems there are many other tour options available, and if we have the chance, we will participate again. Thank you very much, Maria and the staff. We appreciate you making it a fun tour!

4年前、コロナ禍の中で結婚した妻と新婚旅行も兼ねて旅行を計画してた中で、今回このLIMONのツアーを見つけました！
難波駅より伏見稲荷、清水寺、金閣寺、嵐山のツアーに参加しました。
日本の方でも外国人観光客でも楽しめるツアー内容です。
我々が参加した時は日本人は私と妻の2人しか居ませんでしたが、
ツアースタッフのMariaさんがとても気を遣って頂きまして、感謝してます。
これから行く場所の案内を英語のアナウンスの後、我々夫婦にも説明して下さり、不便無く観光を楽しめました。
何かと側に居て下さったので、安心して観光できました。

他にも沢山のツアー内容があるようで、また機会があれば参加させて頂きます。
Mariaさん、スタッフの方々、本当にありがとうございました。楽しいツアーにして頂き感謝してます。

Kyoto has many foreign tourists, and I heard that it's difficult to catch a taxi, so I made a reservation. They quickly organized a few sightseeing spots I wanted to visit, and I didn't have to look up train or bus schedules, think about transfers, catch a taxi, or search for parking for my private car. They guided us, allowing us to just enjoy ourselves and save time. Since the tour started at Kyoto Station and ended at my accommodation, I appreciated not having to move around with heavy luggage. There are many attractions in Kyoto, so I would like to use this service again.

京都は外国人観光客も多く、タクシーは捕まらないと聞いて申込みました。
行きたい数ヶ所の観光地をパッと組んで頂けて、自分達で電車やバスの時刻表を調べたり、乗り継ぎを考えたり、タクシーを捕まえたり、自家用車を停める駐車場を探したりする事もなく案内もして頂いて、ただ楽しめて時間の節約にもなりました。
ツアーの開始場所を京都駅、終了場所を宿泊先にしたので、重たい荷物を持って移動することが無いのも良い所だと思いました。京都は見どころが多いので、また利用させて頂きたいです。

I used this service for the first time during a family trip to Kyoto, and it was great.

Since I didn't know the roads or directions in Kyoto, it was very helpful.

I wanted to visit Nijo Castle and the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and they took me to those places within the time limit.

They also shared hidden gems and provided guidance, and the driver was friendly, making it a fun experience.

I would like to use this service again if I go back.

2家族での京都旅行で初めて利用しましたがよかったです。

京都は道も分からず方向もわからないので助かりました。


二条城と嵐山の竹林は行きたかったので
そこを込で時間内で行ける所に連れてって貰いました。

穴場を教えてくれたりガイドもしてくれたりで
運転手の方も感じがよくて楽しかったです。

また行くことがあったら利用したいです。

After 35 years, I visited Kyoto again, and it happened to be a time when there were few participants, so we were able to move around smoothly. The weather was nice, and Kinkaku-ji was even more beautiful than I had imagined. I attended alone, but the tour guide provided great explanations about the sightseeing spots and kindly took photos for me, which made the experience enjoyable.

35年ぶりの京都観光、たまたま参加人数が少ない時期でスムーズにまわれました。お天気が良く金閣寺が想像以上に綺麗でした。
ひとり参加でしたが、添乗員さんの観光地の説明や親切に写真を撮ってくれたので楽しめました。
