Japan's Three Scenic Views & Kyoto by the Sea: Amanohashidate Cable Car + Ine Bay Boat Tour Day Trip (Departing from Osaka or Kyoto)

This was my first trip to Osaka and Kyoto, and I booked this one-day tour. The journey was very comfortable and enjoyable. Our tour guide, Gu Wenji, was especially energetic and thoughtful. He explained the history of the attractions and what to do there in detail, and he was able to do so in three different languages for tourists from various places. He also thoughtfully reminded us of the restroom locations at each stop, suggested cooling drinks to buy at convenience stores when the weather was hot, and even shared recommendations for restaurants. We are very grateful for Tour Guide Gu Wenji's arrangements! Overall, the trip was very pleasant and wonderful, with beautiful scenery. Starting from Kyoto, we had the option to be dropped off in Osaka. If I have the chance again, I will definitely book these one-day tours again. I highly recommend this trip!

Since the distance from Osaka is quite far, the 1-day tour was perfect for travel. We completed everything in one day, including riding the train following the Spirit Away route, visiting Amanohashidate sandbar, and taking the Ine boat tour where birds flew very close to peck at our crackers. The atmosphere was great, and the views were beautiful. Finally, we stopped to buy local souvenirs. Our guide, Sean, was Chinese and spoke four languages. He took excellent care of us, managed the trip well, and was punctual. We were very impressed.

This was my first time taking a day trip with this travel agency, and our tour guide, Wen-Ji Ju, was incredibly enthusiastic and energetic. He switched between three languages fluently, which was impressive, as we had travelers from Taiwan, Korea, and Japan on the bus today. He explained the itinerary three times, managed the time perfectly, and we didn't experience any delays. He even provided pictures at each scenic spot, showing us the best angles for Instagram-worthy photos, and offered to take pictures for everyone. He was very thoughtful, even checking in with those who hadn't taken many photos to make sure they got some. Along the way, he recommended delicious snacks and unique convenience store drinks, and it was clear he wasn't just promoting them. His enthusiasm was consistent throughout the entire trip. The group members were also very considerate and didn't cause any delays at any of the attractions. I hope to have the chance to join another tour and have the same guide again! 👍 I do have a small suggestion for the travel agency, though. There are very few restaurants in Amanohashidate, and it gets very crowded with tourists, which caused significant delays during lunch. It was a bit disappointing that we missed some spots because of this. It would be much better if the agency could offer a lunch reservation and meal service.

💜A wonderful trip with Guide Seo Geum-bong💜 I was surprised that it was my first time having a guide with such experience! He's amazing!! Even though there weren't many Koreans, he did a great job explaining the destinations and overall Japanese culture, which I really appreciated. The stories I learned for the first time were so valuable! There was also a solo traveler, and he took good care of them too. He even took some great photos for us!!! It was a very enjoyable trip. Thank you!! I hope to see you again next time!!🥰

Our trip to Ine no Funaya and Amanohashidate with Guide Goo Moon-gil was very enjoyable, comfortable, and pleasant. In particular, his excellent language skills in Korean, Japanese, and Chinese made the trip very convenient. Also, I was staying in Kyoto and booked the bus tour just the day before, but he confirmed the reservation immediately, allowing me to join the tour right away. If you're staying in Kyoto, I highly recommend trying the bus tour. Guide Goo Moon-gil also shared many great restaurant recommendations, famous Japanese foods, and convenient store 'hidden gems' that locals often buy, which was very helpful. I will definitely come back to Kyoto with my family for another bus tour. Please be sure to still be here until then!

​Absolutely amazing day trip! ​Northern Kyoto is stunning and so much more peaceful than the city. Reaching Amanohashidate and Ine no Funaya on your own by train/bus can be a massive logistical headache, so this Klook tour is 100% worth it for the convenience alone. ​Our tour guide, Suke, was fantastic! He was super organized, gave clear instructions, and shared great local tips throughout the day. The chairlift at Amanohashidate had incredible views, and feeding the seagulls/eagles from the boat at Ine was a highlight. Highly recommend this tour, especially if Suke is your guide!

It was a very worthwhile day trip where we got to see the beautiful view of Kyoto. The tour guide, Hua Hua, was very cheerful, funny, and kind. He always tried to make a joke to make us happy throughout the day. I also had onigiri; I brought onigiri from the city for lunch because the lunchtime was pretty short, and I wanted to enjoy more time seeing the scenery.

This was a lovely day trip away from the busy city. Amanohashidate and Ine Funaya were very beautiful, and the Tango Railway made the trip more special. The itinerary was smooth and the guide gave clear instructions. A relaxing and worthwhile experience.

Awesome tour guide by Yujin-san (Eugene), very friendly and funny! Went to many places and Yujin explained the places clearly before we reached to prep us and also helped us to get an extra toilet break on our way back to drop off point as the traffic was bad (May 5, Golden Week) and took more than what was estimated. Read many reviews and many were singing Yujin-San's high praises and he certainly did not disappoint! He have clocked a good 10 years of working here in Japan, speaks fluent English, Mandarin and Japanese. Bought this day tour package with good anticipation and was in awe by the good views of Amanohashidate and Ine, worth the price! Keep up the good and awesome work! Gambate! Hope to see you next time Eugene!

Thanks to our guide, Mr. Sim Man-pyeong, we had a comfortable and enjoyable tour. He's fluent in four languages, and we could really feel his passion and philosophy when he explained things. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't ride bikes or the lift car as originally planned due to the rain when we started, but thanks to that, we got to explore some beautiful towns, and the misty fog made it even more picturesque, which was lovely, haha. Oh, and you absolutely must take the cruise! You'll get to experience the amazing sight of seagulls and black kites swooping down to eat shrimp crackers.
