Kyoto Samurai
Tourist attraction
👍👍 The real samurai sword experience. If you are interested in an authentic and real experience no better place than with Master Kurabawa. It is the real deal, master-driven, small taste of what would be real. If you are into Samurai and want to meet a real master come here.

Kyoto Samurai Experience/Waraku
Tourist attraction
👍👍 I had a great time at Kyoto Samurai Experience. I have lived in Japan for 31 years and am pretty bias about these cultural experiences. I thoroughly enjoyed the authentic experience, learned some cool things and had a lot of fun. The instructors, interpreters and other members were very knowledgeabl...

Ninja Experience Cafe Kyoto Gion
Cafe
👍👍 We had a lot of fun here. We learned how to throw throwing stars, use blow guns, and some moves with the katana. It's great for young kids and adults alike. The hosts were extremely nice and accommodating. We feel that if we're ever attacked by ninjas we should be ready to fight back successfully.

Pug Cafe Living Room Kyoto
Dog cafe
😠 Daylight robbery! I traveled far with high hopes for this experience. The cost was outrageous, charging ¥3000 for 70 minutes, and on special days it skyrocketed to ¥4800. To make matters worse, there were no other choices available. It's nothing more than a tourist trap, leaving me thoroughly disapp...

Tea Ceremony Camellia GARDEN
Tourist attraction
😠 I am going to further develop the reason for evaluating the activity with the lowest possible grade (because I cannot give less than 1/5). I will do it in order:
1. The choice of kimono (especially in the case of women it is very limited). They only showed three models, if you don't like any of them...

GEAR /Non-Verbal theatre
Performing arts theater
👍👍 Gear was great! We made a good choice by going in the morning and there was a same day discount. Go in the morning and get the tickets! Went for lunch nearby then went for the show. It's really good entertainment and good special effects! Refer to my pictures for details!

Shariden Kinkaku
Buddhist temple
👍 For about ¥500 you can take a walk through a path that leads you to a lake with a temple which walls are covered with gold. Crowds of people are taking photos of it because it is the only attraction here. Still it looks really picturesque. A bit overpriced for that only temple. Guides say that 20kg...

Scenic spot
👍 (Trip was made back then on 4 Dec 2019, 2 years before the Covid-19 Pandemic hit)
Along the way to Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, we walked along the bank of Katsura river through Kameyama Park and got to enjoy the amazing view of Katsura River with the mosaic mountain backdrop.
Strongly recommended if...

Nishijin Asagi Museum
Handicraft museum
👍 I visited on February 24th, 2022.
We were able to take photos freely inside the building.
The Nishijin textiles were particularly beautiful and photogenic as they glowed in the dark.
The atmosphere is different when it's dark and when it's bright.
I haven't had a chance to wear a kimono, and I was...
