The theme of this trip to Japan was a self-guided tour of the San'in and San'yo regions. We had already visited famous and lesser-known attractions in the four prefectures of Okayama, Tottori, Shimane, and Hiroshima in the previous days. Since the attractions in Yamaguchi Prefecture are quite spread out, we stumbled upon a Klook tour, which perfectly satisfied our desire to explore Yamaguchi Prefecture. This was also the last stop on our trip to Japan. The trip was great! Although the journey was long, and it was a little disappointing that we couldn't visit Motonosumi Shrine (the shrine was closed), our tour guide Emy was excellent – very thoughtful, enthusiastic, and funny. Five-star rating!
Roger was our guide and he was very good and was happy to take photos of us. He was very courteous and caring and looked after us well re routing the tour due to bridge closure times and the closure of Motonosumi Shrine. It was very disappointing that the Motonosumi Shrine was closed but Roger took us to the Fukutoku Inari Shrine instead. The ride over the Tsunoshima Ohashi bridge was quick due to a scheduled closure for a marathon but it was beautiful despite the drizzly weather conditions. The highlight of the tour was the Akiyoshido Cave and it was well worth a visit. Here we were able to spend some time wandering through the cave marvelling at the incredible and spectacular formations and taking photos. Afterwards we enjoyed lunch and again Roger was very informative and helped with making menu choices. It was a long day travelling on a smaller bus but worth it.
This was a small group tour, but our guide, Kaku-san, enthusiastically explained the attractions to us in different languages. The sights were very beautiful and worth seeing in one's lifetime, but they were a bit far. However, the guide arranged the round trip itinerary very well, with rest stops between points, so we didn't spend too long on the bus. We didn't have to worry at all about things like eating or going to the restroom.
Our tour guide, Little Xu, was very friendly, and the Akiyoshido Cave tour was very interesting. He also proactively helped us take photos. We had a very pleasant day. Akiyoshido Cave, Motonosumi Shrine, and Tsunoshima Bridge are all very worth visiting. I'm very excited that Klook offers this tour, allowing people who can't drive to visit these places.
The driver and tour guide work very hard. The day trip provides travelers with great convenience and fun. Thank you for the assistance of tour guide Xiao An! Next time, I will choose Klook to order travel-related products.
The itinerary was smooth, the tour guide's introduction to the attractions was very professional, and they also recommended delicious restaurants.
The weather wasn't great, it was raining, but it was still worth the visit! We had enough time, though the drive was a bit long, and there was some traffic on the way back. P.S. If an entrance fee is required, why isn't it included in the tour price?
Our tour guide for the day was Roger. Thank you, Roger, for giving us plenty of time to stroll and enjoy Akiyoshido Cave. Although the whole day involved long drives, it was great that we were able to get off the bus, stretch our legs, and use the restroom at rest stops approximately every 1.5-2 hours!
Join a tour to two stunning spots that are difficult for regular tourists to reach on their own. Akiyoshido Cave and Motonosumi Shrine are both well worth a visit, offering a unique cave experience and breathtaking ocean views all in one! The tour guide, Ms. Duan (ELLA), provided detailed introductions to the itinerary and photo spots, took care of the group members' needs, and is highly recommended!
