Your guide, Ai, is a government-certified English tour guide interpreter since 2015, an award-winning and a magazine-covered photographer, and holds graduate degrees, MA in Japanese Pedagogy at Columbia University in the City of New York (Class of 2025) and MBA in tourism and hospitality management from Kyoto University (Class of 2020).
Ai: This is a private, customizable tour by taxi that will visit UNESCO World Heritage sights-KinkakuJi Temple (Golden Pavilion) and Kiyomizu Temple, and Fushimi Inari Shrine (with thousands vermillion Torii gates). Our itinerary can be quite flexible upon your requests.
For lunch and/or dinner, I will arrange the best Tempura or Kobe Beef restaurant in Gion.
Since all transportations and entrance fees are included in the tour price, the only additional cost on the tour day would be your meals. Pick up and drop off at Kobe/Osaka Cruise Port, Kyoto Station, and any hotels in Kyoto/Osaka/Kobe/Nara City are available.
