Akako was an amazing guide ♥️

5.00Akako was really great at explaining every detail about the shrine and the Shinto beliefs. The tour was one hour long and ended before entering the path to get to the top of the mountain. This tour was very good if you want to know more about the history behind the shrine.
Great fushimi inari experience

5.00Aliño is the best guide in kioto. Visiting shrines without a tour and with a tour is totally different. Plus you get vip seats at the kaguya shrine.

5.00With no pre booking we were pleasantly surprised to find official temple guides and enjoy a value for money private tour. The tour guide was local high knowledgeable and very polite. The priviledge of experiencing the Kagura ritual front line was a unique experience!
Nicest tour guide we ever had

5.00It was SO nice! So actually we only wanted to visit the shrein without a tour but then a woman (Akiko) asked if we wanted to join the tour for 4000¥ per person. It was totally worth it! It was 60 minutes long and not boring at all. She was so nice like genuinely flowers bloom when she walks out the house. The Atmosphere was amazing too. There were MANY visitors but still an amazing experience. Oh and the show was amazing too! We were allowed to watch the performance right in front of the stage. I think this is tour for everyone. Loved it
