A fantastic day out in a very picturesque and scenic spot. Great tour guide on the day, Jeong Yuwon. A lovely young man who looked after us very well. Was extremely knowledgeable and informative and was always considerate and caring continually checking on us in our free time. Weather was beautiful in the morning and then a little rain at lunchtime but didn’t dampen our day out just made some photos in the afternoon with sun shining through the clouds spectacular. Views from the top of the chair lift in the morning magnificent. Qq Recommendation for lunch at the Ine Cafe was a great choice with great food and stunning views from this waterfront cafe. This waterfront has many houses built over the water and some lovely typical Japanese streets on the walk to the cafe. A must do if time permits on a visit to Japan.

Excellent day trip from Osaka , well organized on time through the whole day , it’s well balanced and not overly crowded or complex. Jo our guide was excellent and very friendly and attentive.
Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic. The stops didn't seem overwhelming when you first step out the bus but then you look around and that they are breathtaking. Our tour guide Yuri was very very patient and very conversationally delightful.
A great day trip from Osaka. Both stops were spectacular. Amanohashidate with a beautiful view from the top, and Ine bay with a scenic boat ride. There’s also many restaurants and shops at each stop that we had lunch and bought souvenirs. Our tour guide, Lullie was wonderful. She gave us detailed information and map on each stop so that we could maximize our time. She also made herself visible to help taking pictures and answering any questions we had. The bus was comfortable, clean and the drive was scenic. Our driver was also taking great care of us. At the parking lot he would make sure that there’s no incoming traffics so we could safely cross the road. Thank you Lullie and the driver for taking a great care of us and making our trip so memorable!
It was so much fun and very kind of you. In personal travel, it was never a course I could go to, and last time it was a course I gave up. We had a memorable day with introduction of delicious food, bicycle rental, boat, and plenty of time. It seems that overseas people make more reservations. Japanese, we really enjoyed ~ I would love to go to Kansai and join other tours when I come. Thank you for your good luck. I would definitely recommend this experience to others. Thank you very much for your support♪
This trip was really special. We drove a comfortable air-conditioned minibus, the weather was wonderful and on the way to Amanohashidate there were already beautiful views of the hills, mountains and rice fields of Kyoto. The guides were very friendly and dedicated. Taehoon is the best rider I've experienced so far. The guide Sangmin from South Korea was very attentive and translated everything into English for me. On the way we stopped at a station wagon. This one had many nice souvenirs or even food on the go. Amanohashidate with its wonderful views from Miyazu (Viewland) is simply worth a visit. You can go up the mountain with a cable car or by chairlift. The round trip costs only 1,000 yen. I'm up on the train and down on the elevator. That was a good decision. It brought a lot of fun and the opportunity for many souvenir photos. The sandbar after which Amanohashidate was named (sky bridge) is exceptional. The white beach really paints a path into the sea. A boat trip is also possible there or just a walk on the sandbank or an exploration of the place with some shops. Then we went to Ine No Funaya. This is a fishing village on a bay. Romantic location with the green hills in the background. There you can explore a long history of the life of the local fishermen, have a coffee in the famous café by the water or just wander around. The houses are impressive. There is always a boat garage in the area to the water. I did my boating there at the port. Simply approach a boat captain and off you go the small boat trip with wonderful views of the sea and village. The cost is 1,000 yen and it is worth it. We fed the seagulls and were able to capture beautiful pictures and videos. I was thrilled with this offer and would like to thank Sangmin and Taehoon once again.
