Highlights
- Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine - Fushimi Inari Taisha, located in Kyoto, Japan, is a renowned Shinto shrine that captivates visitors with its enchanting beauty and rich cultural significance. It is dedicated to Inari, the Shinto deity of rice, prosperity, and business success. The shrine is instantly recognizable for its iconic vermilion-colored torii gates, which form a mesmerizing pathway that stretches over 4 kilometers up the wooded slopes of Mount Inari. These gates, generously donated by individuals and companies seeking blessings, create a mystical ambiance for visitors to explore.

Kyoto un a rush - Tour guide did a serviceable job of explaining the interesting facts surrounding the different temples and sites. Tour started over an hour later. If you spend a little time reading about the sites you will visit, you can do this without a Tour. Massive crowds make it difficult to experience everything, so you may want to split it in 2 or more days.

Do not book this tour. ... - Do not book this tour. Our one day in Kyoto ruined. Contact made the night before the tour saying "kyoto st will be the meeting spot". Not clear instructions at all, and no further contact. I provided them my mobile number and WhatsApp details. Called the phone number, no answer - answering machine in Japanese. I should have read all the other poor review. Take your money and no service. Viator are very understanding and have refunded part of the cost but not full amount - still speaking with them.

Never booking anything with your company again! - I reserved for 03/28/2024 one day sightseeing Kyoto. Your company has no credits. Promised to pick up day before the night changed your promise, because that we had to arrange our sightseeing plan in Kyoto on 03/28/2024!

The guide did not show up. I paid $180 for the tour. - What memory? No guide showed up at the Tempozan. I sent a special note few days ago explaining in detail where we will be. I see all the other guides come pick up the passenger but our guide didn’t show up. Called the phone number, no answer. Konnichiwa-Japan is a fraudulent company. Take your money and no service.

Horrible organization and management, started 3 hours late, covered 4 of 9 scheduled places and had to pay one fees. - 1. Waited 2.5 hours for guide & went around with him to pick 3 groups. Started at 10 am, not 7 am
2. Covered 4 of 9 scheduled places in 6 out of 8 hours
3. We visited the missed sites, paid admission, transport & time next day
4. Disappointed after we had good experiences with Viator last year in Greece & Turkey
5 Hope our next 2 with Viator in Osaka & Tokyo don't meet similar fate

Not Impressed - Tour was booked months in advance. Payment was taken a week prior with confirmation. Then with less than 24hours notice. Tour was cancelled. When I requested to be notified when a refund will be issued in response to the cancellation. There has been not further correspondence from the provider. Not impressed.
