Find Mochida! He was an amazing guide for myself and my son. Very kind and took wonderful care of us in the blistering July heat. The pictures he took for us are our best ones from our trip. This experience is well worth the money.

A memorable ride in a rickshaw
We would thoroughly recommend this experience. the Arashiyama bamboo forest, lotus pond and surrounding area is beautiful and to see it in the comfort of a rickshaw is a treat! we had the pleasure of two guides Taikai and Daichi - both spoke excellent english and passionately shared with us their knowledge of the area, knew the names of plants and flowers and generously shared with us details of their work, life and culture. We saw things along the trip that we most certainly would have missed had we not done the tour. Daichi regularly offered to take photos and did so very skillfully
