What you can expect
Are you ready for an unforgettable adventure in Kyoto, specially designed for cruise travellers?
Your experience begins with a warm welcome at the Kobe port. No need to worry about logistics—I’ll take care of everything!
We’ll take the train to Kyoto, where our first stop is the enchanting Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. Walk through towering green bamboo groves and soak in the tranquil atmosphere of this magical place.
Next, we’ll visit the stunning Fushimi Inari Shrine, famous for its endless path of vermillion torii gates. Stroll through this sacred site and immerse yourself in its mystical beauty.
After that, we’ll head to Kyoto’s city center for a delicious lunch, where you can savor authentic Japanese cuisine. Whether you prefer sushi, ramen, or Kyoto’s specialty kaiseki, there’s something for everyone.
In the afternoon, we’ll explore the charming streets of Gion and the Higashiyama district. Admire the well-preserved wooden machiya houses, discover hidden temples, and, if we’re lucky, spot a geisha gracefully making her way through the alleys.
Our journey continues to Kiyomizu-dera, one of Kyoto’s most iconic temples. Standing on its famous wooden stage, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the city and the lush surrounding nature.
As the day comes to an end, we’ll make our way back to Kobe port, ensuring you return on time to your cruise.
This tour is fully customizable to suit your preferences. Whether you’re passionate about history, culture, or simply want to soak in Kyoto’s beauty, I’ll tailor the experience just for you.
*All entrance tickets and transportation costs are included for a hassle-free experience.

More about me
Hi! I’m Pere Ignasi, but you can call me Peri 😊. I’m a Spanish native who made Japan my home, and I’ve been sharing my passion for this incredible country as a tour guide for years!
I offer tours all over Kansai, but my heart belongs to Kobe and Osaka, two cities full of life, history, and amazing food 🍜! I speak English, Spanish, and Catalan, so you can feel comfortable exploring in your language.
My journey as a guide started when friends visited me in Japan. I loved showing them around, taking them to the best restaurants 🍣, and helping them discover hidden gems. That passion turned into my profession, and now I get to do what I love every day!
Whether you're into history 🏛️, food 🍡, pop culture 🎮, or off-the-beaten-path experiences 🌿, I’ll make sure your tour is tailored to your interests. Want to try new dishes? Explore ancient temples? Visit anime and gaming spots? I’m here to make it happen!
I also have years of experience working with kids, so if you're traveling as a family, I’ll design fun and engaging activities that everyone, adults and children alike, will enjoy.
The best part of my job? Meeting people from all over the world 🌎, sharing stories, and creating unforgettable memories. I’m very talkative, so get ready for a fun and lively tour!
Let me show you the magic of Kansai, its culture, flavors, and hidden treasures. I can’t wait to explore with you! 🗺️
