Coses per fer a Mino

A winding road up the hill from minoh-kayano station brings u to the temple…after passing the check point, u step into a different world. U find small daruma dolls anywhere and everywhere…literally and still the temple looks organised….we did the daruma doll offering prayer and it felt peaceful. There was a slight drizzle and it brought out the beauty of temple even more. A must visit place if ur staying in Osaka or Kyoto….arigato gozaimasu

En Nick va ser un guia turístic increïble durant aquest tour! Va compartir molta informació no només sobre les atraccions que visitàvem, sinó que també ens va ensenyar sobre la cultura japonesa i fins i tot algunes salutacions locals. El tour va ser molt divertit i una manera fantàstica de visitar molts llocs en un dia si els teus peus necessiten un descans o simplement vols cobrir més terreny en un curt període. Molt recomanable si veniu a Osaka!

Today’s tour was fantastic from start to finish. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, sharing interesting information throughout the day while keeping everything organised and enjoyable. The bus driver was exceptional, navigating safely and smoothly, making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the journey. Both were professional, welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great experience. Thank you for helping make our day so memorable. Highly recommended!

Arriving at Fushimi Inari Shrine, you can see the bright vermilion color from afar, especially striking on a cloudy day. Many Japanese shrines use this color, which is said to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune. It is also a continuation of the early tradition of using cinnabar (containing mercury) paint to prevent insect damage. Under the vermilion color, the intertwining of faith and function is on display. 2. Bamboo blinds hang at the entrance of the temple, obscuring the view of the main hall. At first glance, I thought it was under repair, but later I learned that this is actually a traditional etiquette – the divine body should not be exposed to the eyes of the world at will, symbolizing holiness that cannot be directly looked upon, and adding a layer of solemn "distance" to the sacred domain. The tour guide is super attentive.

Huahua va ser el millor guia turístic! Després que altres dos tours ens haguessin cancel·lat a causa del tifó, vam tenir la sort de poder reservar aquest tour. De fet, va ser una benedicció perquè aquest va ser un dels millors tours que hem fet! HuaHua va ser un guia turístic excel·lent i es va assegurar que coneguéssim detalls i història de cada parada que vam fer. Fins i tot ens va dir on podíem trobar el millor matcha a Uji! El tour incloïa Uji, Byodo, el Santuari de Kiffune i el Temple de Katsuo-ji. Vam poder anar a cada parada amb temps suficient per passejar i comprar! Gràcies a HuaHua i a la seva bonica veu cantant per oferir-nos el millor tour a Osaka!

Our tour guide was absolutely amazing, providing explanations in both Chinese and English, and taking great care of us! Katsuo-ji Temple was incredibly charming! You can see cute Daruma dolls everywhere, and you can also buy them at the gift shop and place them wherever you like. It's a must-visit! Arashiyama was also great for exploring! I highly recommend trying the honey ice cream! The travel time to each location was about an hour, so you can catch up on sleep in the car. The overall itinerary didn't include meal times, so everyone needs to find their own food.

Thank you to our tour guide, Apple, for taking care of us all day today. Her voice was sweet, and she was very kind and lovely! Although the itinerary was a bit rushed, it was expected that we wouldn't spend much time at each stop, given that we were visiting three major attractions in one day. Arashiyama and Katsuoji Temple were both very impressive! The advantage of joining a one-day tour like this is having a driver, which allows you to quickly visit the main spots. Afterward, you can choose your favorite attractions to explore in more depth! Overall, it was a good experience. Plus, I happened to be staying in Osaka the day before and Kyoto the day after, so I boarded the bus in Osaka with my luggage and was able to tell the guide in advance that I wanted to get off in Kyoto on the return trip. This conveniently saved me the hassle of traveling from Osaka to Kyoto with my luggage!

Ens ho vam passar molt bé! Un dels moments més destacats d'aquest viatge va ser recollir els 6 segells a Katsuoji... una experiència molt divertida i memorable! 😍 L'Abigail és una guia turística fantàstica... molt accessible, coneixedora i complaent. Es va assegurar que estiguéssim ben informats durant tot el viatge i realment va tenir cura de tothom. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 En general, va ser una experiència meravellosa! ✨

La guia Yuzu va fer una presentació molt detallada i vívida, i també va compartir moltes històries locals interessants. Durant el viatge, va ser molt atenta ajudant-nos a fer fotos de record, i fins i tot sense haver reservat àpats, ens va recomanar amb entusiasme bons restaurants. El servei general va ser molt complet i l'experiència del viatge va ser molt agradable. El temple Katsuō-ji, ple de ninots Daruma, és molt atractiu i interessant, amb una atmosfera única. Al temple Kiyomizu-dera, fins i tot els carrers dels voltants són ideals per passejar. Recordeu reservar una mica de temps per escriure un Goshuin dins del temple, té un gran valor commemoratiu. El paisatge antic i pintoresc d'Arashiyama és preciós. Fer un passeig en rickshaw per endinsar-se en els camins secrets del bosc de bambú és una experiència que val molt la pena!
