Planning to visit Kyoto from Osaka? Do not worry about trains and directions anymore! I will take you to Kyoto on a day trip! Let's enjoy visiting popular temples, shrines, geisha district, local markets etc.. in this amazing ancient city.
Imagine this: a scenic road trip from Kyoto to explore Arashiyama with stops along the way to discover viewpoints, villages, incredible nature, and cultural gems. Sounds like a dream? No, it’s possible on a Withlocals day trip with a local host leading the way!
Join us for a day of adventure and culture! I'll take you to Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and show you Kobe's must-see attractions. And for the perfect finale, indulge in Kobe beef at a top restaurant. Come and enjoy culture, culinary delights, and discovery with us!
We have spent the last three days with Sheilina and I can’t say enough good things about her. With her we experienced culture, food, shrines, temples and so much more. We spent time with her in the Shibuya district, the Asakusa district (including the Sensoji Temple), and, my favorite, a day trip to Kamakura. You won’t be disappointed if she is your guide.
Discover the beauty of Kamakura, an ancient city in a day trip!

Like travelling with your local cousin
Family of four (with 2 late teens sons). We booked an Osaka to Kyoto day trip, and Osaka Highlights and Hidden Gem the next day with Naoki. Our sons commented that Naoki felt like a cousin from overseas taking us around. Apart from Naomi’s local knowledge and experience, his genuine warmth and kindness made this a memorable experience!

About local
One of my favorite experiences in Japan!
I am so grateful for my tour with Sheilina! I was first inspired by the listing of Kamakura as I had no plans to visit and I am so glad I booked this tour. It was an easy train from Tokyo to meet Sheilina at the station where we proceeded to the sites. The beauty and serenity of Hasedera as well as the stunning Great Buddha of Kamakura was so worth the travel. We also did some shopping and dining. Sheilina was a great guide and very flexible and kind. I would definitely recommend her!

Teddy is sweet and kind!
Better late than never! Teddy-san was amazing. He was very responsive and more than willing to modify our tour to include a location we requested. He also recommended some temple night illumination events, and we’re so glad we followed his advice. The experience was absolutely beautiful! We also lost a souvenir we had bought for our niece and described to him where we had purchased it, but we couldn’t remember how to get back there. At the end of the tour, Teddy went out of his way to take us to the place he thought matched our description. It was such a kind and thoughtful gesture. We highly recommend Teddy—he’s sociable, very nice, and a fantastic guide.
