We are a travel agency from England and recently organised a full day Kyoto tour for a group of 38 guests. Kyoto is always one of our most requested Japan destinations and finding reliable large group transport here is not always straightforward — so we were very pleased with Easy Travel Japan's Large Bus (Coach) service. The bus was impressive — wide comfortable seats, excellent air conditioning, and more than enough space for all 38 guests and their bags. We covered the full Kyoto classic route — Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kinkaku-ji, Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Ryoan-ji, and finished the evening in Gion — a truly complete Kyoto experience in one day. As we were aware that large bus drivers in Kyoto don't speak English, we arranged an additional English-speaking guide through Easy Travel Japan to accompany the group — that combination worked beautifully. The guide communicated seamlessly with driver Mr Suzuki throughout the day so there was never any confusion despite the language barrier. Stephanie from the operations team was excellent — clear, proactive, and always available in the WhatsApp group whenever we needed anything. For UK travel agencies and tour operators looking to bring large groups to Kyoto, Easy Travel Japan is a reliable and professional partner. We will absolutely be working with them again on our future Japan programmes!
