There are 2 routes to the waterfall and we used the 'natural' path apart fm main concrete road to reach the waterfall. This route was more execting and not very hard, we sometimes went steps and down but no rough or challenging route (the way back we used the concrete road to Mino-Station since we were short of time). We had nice typical local Yuzu-Juice and a very tasty Soba-soups (one with chicken,one with Curry-broth) in the Minoh Kajikasou traditional Soba Restaurant. Our guide Taka-san was very supportive in all respects and could tell us many interesting details and stories of our tour as well as any aspect of life in JP we wanted to know and talk about.Posted on Lucy xxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had such a good time with Kenta and his friend hosting this tour (Kyoto) 🚲Very personable and had a blast! Booked this spontaneously when I was in Tokyo before heading to Kyoto. I still think about this after coming back to reality and work in London! Beautiful scenery ~ and makes me miss Kyoto and would love to be tourist and travel here again… and book the same company again, perhaps another route haha or another experience 🙋🏻♀️✨ Was just me as I did some solo travel in Japan and another couple, and it was not awkward at all. Very fun! :) loved the route and the places we visited. Suitable for all level bikers~ The bikes from the rental place were super clean and nice and Kenta and his companion had a lot of knowledge of the places we visited. We even visited his university that he is soon graduating from. Stopped at a place for some tea and pastry too ~ All in all, fully reccomend this tour. A bit different having to read a map and navigate yourself. Just pick a time and date, pay and do it xPosted on Jeri SeikiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. **A Heartfelt and Unforgettable Hidden Path Tour with Nao** Our tour with Nao at Fushimi Inari was truly one of the highlights of our time in Kyoto. From the very beginning, Nao’s warmth and kindness made us feel completely at ease — more like we were exploring with a friend than a guide. Nao led us along peaceful hidden paths away from the crowds, sharing beautiful viewpoints, quiet shrines, and fascinating stories about the history and spirit of Fushimi Inari. What made it so special was the genuine care and thoughtfulness Nao showed throughout the walk — introduction to Tori gate craftsman, sharing tea and snacks and finally the delicious lunch. Nao’s insights deepened our appreciation for the shrine and its traditions. Her gentle energy and passion for her culture made the entire experience feel magical and deeply personal. We left not only with wonderful memories and photos, but also with a lasting sense of connection and gratitude. Thank you Nao for this unforgettable experience!Posted on Cheryl VassaurTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryoma was the best guide through the Temma local neighborhood in Osaka. We had excellent quality food and enjoyed strolling the backstreets as well. Almost no tourists! We loved this for our last night in Japan and can’t wait to come back! Thank you Ryom!Posted on Courtney VeasyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

This tour was amazing! Haruka & Kazuki were our guides and their knowledge of the area / food / culture really made this a special experience. If you’re looking to eat some fantastic food, have a couple drinks, and enjoy some wonderful conversation then you have to book this tour now! Would definitely recommend this to anyone!Posted on Jen WattsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked a private 3-hr bike tour for a fantastic introduction to Kyoto. This tour covers a lot of ground in a few short hours. Our guide, Kenta, was very kind and informative of both Kyoto history and Japanese culture as he expertly took us on a scenic riverside ride, and then on to lesser known shrines, temples, the grounds surrounding the Emperor‘s Palace, and even to local markets, and cafés. The places we visited felt off the beaten path and had minimal crowds. Kenta also kept us off main roads so you really did feel like a local! I highly recommend if you are new to Kyoto and if you want to see a lot in a half day. Ask for Kenta!! He’s the best.Posted on K. T.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was one of the best tours. So glad we had Ko with us to guide us and tell us more about the history and explain what we were seeing. The Golden Temple was beautiful. We went to another Temple where they were having some kind of ceremony and everyone was in traditional kimono or black suit. There were hardly any tourists there and we got some great pictures (with permission). The dry garden and bonsai garden were so peaceful too. I was able to get a couple of goshuin stamps at a couple of the temples so very happy about that. Lunch was delicious and served on the temple grounds and all vegan or at least vegetarian. Afterwards we grabbed grilled mochi sticks covered in some kind of sweet miso glaze which was the perfect ending. So grateful Ko was there with us and shared some of his personal experiences with us.Posted on RachelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was the highlight of my trip to Kyoto. We are so thankful for good weather, and wonderful tour guides! We learned a lot and feel as if we got to see a Kyoto that most do not see as tourists. Thank you!
