Kyoto Early Bird Tour In Uji And Fushimi Inari

Perfect tour if you want to get away from busy Kyoto and visit sites not often seen. Our tour guide Shin was lovely and spoke perfect English.

My husband and I traveled from Osaka to Kyoto to do the early morning tour. The tour was great and worth doing the early morning commute to Kyoto. Genki our tour guide was very knowledgeable and very well spoken the information he gave us made the tour very interesting. You can see that he loves sharing the history of the Temples, Shrines, Kyoto and Uji. Early morning you avoid the crowds and it is nice and cool. It was very well paced and comfortable. Thank you Genki for a great tour, we will definitely book another tour with you when we return to Japan.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient. I learnt a lot and I would definitely recommend this tour. If you find all 108 foxes, you will have good luck for the rest of the year! Ganbatte!!

It is was super amazing , the guide made us understand the history of the shrine .. and was spoke English so well , we need no interpreter

Though it was a chilly night, the tales of the past offered warmth thanks to the tour guide. There is a lot to learn, but our tour guide kept it short and spicy which I appreciate since my Fingers are quickly turning into popsicles.

Tour guide very knowledgeable, excellent communication and friendly. We had a pretty smooth visit and he answered our questions patiently.

Our guide Genki was very knowledgeable with explaining the differences between Shinto and Buddhism. He gave us just enough information that we could retain it. The morning tour is not crowded, and we had lots of space around us. We didn't rush so we could enjoy our morning exploration of Uji. Genki gave us also a good advice for lunch {it was delicious) and where to shop for a good tea. Thank you, Genki, for a lovely morning

Absolutely fantastic tour experience! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, engaging, and enjoyable. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, which made the entire journey even more memorable. The itinerary was perfectly balanced — enough time at each stop without feeling rushed. The transportation was comfortable, and all logistics ran smoothly. We visited some breathtaking spots that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. It was clear that a lot of thought went into planning every detail. This tour offered great value and truly exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the area with a fun, informative, and hassle-free experience. I’d gladly book with this company again in the future!

Wonderful experience as I got to see some of the Kyoto’s iconic Shrines!! There were not a lot of people since it was early in the morning and I got some great pictures! Definitely a recommended!!

Lovely early morning walk through the beautiful temple!Guide Genki was excellent! Warm, engaging and very knowledgeable and caring

Amazing sites with an extremely knowledgeable guide! Thank you Genki for sharing the beauty and the rich history of these extraordinary shrines . Hidden Uji gems that I am sure will be flooded with tourists soon enough! A must see experience for everyone visiting Kyoto and the area.

The scenery was the highlight of the tour. Bets photo spots were pointed out by the guide and also explained the significance of the places we toured. Tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly.

Amazing experience, the guide is very helpful, he explains all scenery with detail and passion. Overall experience was really worth it, will come again

This was a solo trip to Japan had no idea what to do that’s why I book this tour with both fushimi shrine and Uji included. The tour started early and ended at lunch time. Avoiding all the crowds. Guide was knowledgeable and passionate. Also had great food recommendations

I went on this tour with my friend during my summer trip. Regardless of the crazy heat in Kyoto me and my friend still had lots of fun. The tour guide was not just knowledgeable, he showed maximum effort to avoid the heat. Great hospitality👍

The Kyoto Early Bird Tour in Uji and Fushimi Inari was absolutely fantastic. Beginning the morning in Uji with a peaceful riverside walk and tasting some of the finest green tea set the perfect tone for the day. Our guide explained the history of Uji and its role in Japanese tea culture in such an engaging way that we really felt connected to the place.

We got up very early, but it was all worth it. Arisa was waiting for us at Kyōto station. Since she contacted us in advance by WhatsApp it was easy to find one another. Arisa is a charming guide with very good knowledge about the places we went to and Japan culture in general. It was a pleasure spending time with her. We met as guide and customers and at the end it felt like being together as friends! ありがとうございます

Every spot we visited was absolutely beautiful, and I learned so much about Japanese culture and all the amazing things Japan has to offer! It was also great that it wasn’t crowded like the city centre, so we could really enjoy it comfortably. But honestly, none of this would’ve been possible without our incredible guide, Soichiro. He was super friendly, shared loads of interesting knowledge, and made this one of the best tour experiences I’ve ever had. It’s easily one of the most memorable highlights of my entire trip to Japan 😊 It was a hot day, so just make sure to stay hydrated!

This tour was the perfect for us Walking through Fushimi Inari’s torii gates before the area gets all crowded. Our guide was amazing, knowledgable, friendly, and even gave us reccomendation for rest of our trip in Japan!! Small group, peaceful vibe, unforgettable experience. I highly recommend you this tour!!
