Embedded in centuries of history and culture, Kyoto offers too many choices for travelers.
This tour makes it easy for you.
Please tell me your interest, and I will make an itinerary exclusively for you.The tour usually covers 3 to 5 major sites depending on your interest.
We will come up with an efficient itinerary so you can get the most in your limited time.

If you are the first timer, I’d recommend some of these must-see sites:

The most popular shrines with 10000 bright red Torii Gates.

Kiyomizu Temple (History/Architecture/View）

The most popular temples with the panoramic veranda.

Arashiyama (Nature/View)

Beautiful nature with great shopping streets for crafts and street food including the famous bamboo forest.

Kinkaku Temple (History/Architecture)

The golden pavilion in the heavenly garden.

But of course not limited to these.
Each place mentioned above is quite big, and there are always interesting off the beaten paths in and out of these sites.

“GreatTour”　We have spend half a day with Makoon and have learned so much. He tailord an itinerary for us and showed us some very special hidden spots of Kyoto. Thanks to Makoon I got not only an insight into the Japanese history but also learned a lot about the culture and some great fun facts. We had a lot of fun with Makoon!

”Inside Kyoto with Kyoto Tour by MAkooN”　Makoon makes Kyoto come alive, from the ancient places and history to the best restaurants and shopping. It was truly an adventure to share time with him and explore the very heart and soul of this magnificent city. He has a wonderful way with words and is clearly a passionate fan of his home, Kyoto. We look forward to our next visit and will engage him again. Five stars!

”Personal Kyoto Tour”　Makoon was the best tour guide that I have ever experienced. His English was just perfect and among the places that we visited, I was really impressed with the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and the Tenryuji Temple. Makoon was very knowledgeable regarding the history of Kyoto and continues to do research to expand his knowledge base. Worth every penny! Gail
