Great trip to see Himeji and the temple which we would otherwise not have been able to do on own, be prepared for a few long bus trips as these areas are not close by but worth it to see the views of country side. Had some real nice Kobe beef stew at Umie stop over in Kobe, enjoyed the Himeji Castle inside and Katsuoji stamp was fun to do.
Yesterday I joined the tour to Himeji Castle, Kobe Harbor, and Katsuo-ji Temple. The overall arrangement was very smooth. Climbing all the way up the seven levels of Himeji Castle was a bit tiring, but being able to enjoy the scenery from different angles both inside and outside the castle made it totally worth it! Afterward, we went to Kobe Harbor for a meal and some shopping, and finally visited Katsuo-ji Temple to see the sea of cute Daruma dolls. The itinerary was rich yet not too rushed. I also want to thank the tour guide for all the guidance and care along the way. The explanations were clear, and the itinerary was arranged with great care. The driver was also very smooth, allowing us to relax and enjoy the scenery throughout the entire trip. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and I highly recommend this tour! 😊
It's very convenient to get there directly, no need to think too much. The itinerary allows for plenty of time. Also, Himeji Castle has seven floors, so be mindful of your physical stamina.
Our guide was very nice and helpful and it is a very good abng for your buck not having to worry about transportation between the three sites. Our guide was also very helpful with photos and even gave great recommendations.
Outstanding guide! Wendling Huang was one of the best guides that we have booked on any tour. I’d welcome any tour that she would be leading. Very impressive and knowledgeable!
my tour guide for the day wenling was amazing, she made the day trip extra special as she filled us in on history of the places and also local recommendations along with a well thought out sightseeing plan
amazing castle and katsuo ji temple ! worth to join the trip. bonus is kobe port for lunch. i wish i could stay longer in each attraction
The itinerary is pretty good, as these attractions aren't very convenient to reach by public transportation on your own. The only downside is that you might feel like you're spending the whole day in the car.
