Tours de Funaya

la nostra guia Cali va ser molt simpàtica, competent i divertida. Com que no trobava el nostre punt de trobada exacte ni el grup perquè hi havia altres excursions per aquella zona, ens va venir a buscar. Fins i tot va repartir postals i caramels durs, que després vaig haver de buscar per tot arreu perquè me'n vaig viciar. Aquell dia va ploure, tot i que no ens va impedir gaudir de l'excursió malgrat quedar ben xops. M'hauria agradat gaudir més del passeig en vaixell; com dic, plovia i tothom es va acabar amuntegant a la coberta inferior, i un parell de persones del grup no van parar de donar menjar a les gavines sense moure't ni donar a ningú altre l'oportunitat de fer-ho fins que gairebé vam arribar al port. I sí, els vaig demanar si es podien moure una mica per poder tenir el meu torn, però em van ignorar mentre continuaven fent fotos i vídeos, tapant les vistes, així que al final em vaig menjar les patates de gamba... eren un aperitiu ben bo... entenc per què les gavines hi estan enganxades. En resum, sens dubte ho recomanaria i tornaria a reservar.

A very well-organized and punctual day tour. Visiting Amanohashidate and Ine Funaya in a single day is made so easy without the headache of figuring out transportation. The view of the 'Bridge to Heaven' from the top of the hill is extraordinarily beautiful, and the boat experience feeding seagulls in the Ine fishing village is very exciting and unique. The tour guide was friendly and communicative, and the bus was very comfortable. Highly recommended.

The itinerary was well-organized and compact. Being able to visit such a distant attraction in a single day is really only possible by taking a day tour. Since it's a famous spot, there were quite a few people even on a weekday. I especially loved the boat cruise and feeding the seagulls; I strongly recommend that those who know how to have fun buy 1-2 extra bags of shrimp crackers, because the birds' reactions can honestly be described as starving ghosts—they are great at eating, completely unafraid, and being so close makes for a very unique experience. The least worthwhile part was probably the Tango sightseeing train; because you're sitting inside the train, the feeling of crossing over the sea is quite muted, completely different from taking photos from below looking up. It's a bit of a letdown, so I suggest travelers booking this tour skip the package that includes the Tango train experience. Our local guide, Ba-san, is from Beijing and has lived in Japan for many years. He was very enthusiastic, introducing us to a lot of interesting trivia about Japan as well as great, cost-effective everyday dining spots. At the end, he even sang to liven up the atmosphere. Thank you very much!

On September 24th, we took a tour of Kyoto guided by MIKA, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The instructions for the meeting point and updates upon arriving in Kyoto were seamless, allowing us on-time tour departure without any delays. During the journey, we were deeply moved by our guide's detailed explanations and her passionate dedication in carefully checking whether everyone wanted to ride the amusement park lift and the sightseeing boat upon arrival. The tour itinerary and optional add-ons (the lift up to Amanohashidate Amusement Park and the Ine Bay sightseeing boat) were not excessive; they were essential components for an efficient tour, which made purchasing the full package feel very rewarding and worthwhile. The meal during the tour was also not bad in terms of saving time. Given the rather tight schedule, we think it was much better to grab a quick bite rather than searching for a restaurant and waiting in line, allowing us to spend ample time at the observation deck. Originally, we planned to rent a car and leave Kyoto early in the morning, but considering the difficulty of driving (unlike Korea, regional roads feature strict two-lane round-trip highway sections, speed limits, and strict railroad crossings) and driving in an unfamiliar area for the first time, choosing this tour over a self-drive rental trip was definitely the better choice. Based on this wonderful tour experience, we feel confident that next time we can comfortably travel to Amanohashidate and Ine on our own using a rental car. Thanks to our guide MIKA, who enthusiastically responded to all our questions, helped with souvenirs, and recommended great photo spots throughout the tour, it became a truly memorable experience. Although the physical distance and road conditions made for a tight schedule, the tour itinerary was exceptionally well-organized and fulfilling.

El dia abans del viatge, s'enviarà un correu electrònic amb la informació de la trobada. Al matí, ens vam reunir a la sortida 2 de Nihonbashi, on la guia Momo esperava els turistes amb un cartell. Abans d'arribar a les atraccions, la guia també va fer explicacions en diversos idiomes. A Amanohashidate (telefèric), vam passejar per la zona del banc de sorra; l'aigua era molt clara, tranquil·la i bonica. A Ine no Funaya (passeig en vaixell per alimentar gavines i àguiles), va ser una experiència molt especial tant per a adults com per a nens, tot i que les cases flotants només es podien veure de lluny des del vaixell. A Miyama-cho, el poble de cases amb teulada de palla era tranquil i no hi havia gaire cosa a fer més que gaudir de l'ambient local. El trajecte d'aquest viatge va ser una mica llarg, així que l'itinerari va ser una mica ajustat, però vam poder descansar pel camí. Incloure un dia d'excursió en autocar durant un viatge lliure a Osaka va ser una decisió molt encertada!

GRAN EXCURSIÓ! Guiada per un guia turístic que pot conversar en anglès, xinès i japonès! Molt ben informat. El viatge va valer la pena. El trajecte en autobús va ser de 4 hores d'anada i tornada. Les vistes eren panoràmiques i vam poder alimentar gavines!

Our guide was amazing! She was very knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. He explained everything clearly and gave us helpful information throughout the trip. The places we visited were absolutely beautiful. Although the journey was quite long, it was definitely worth it, especially if you love nature. Highly recommended!

Our guide Louis was extremely kind. Even though it was a day for English and Chinese-guided tours and we were the only Korean couple, he kindly guided us in Korean and even sent explanations via KakaoTalk, so we had a very comfortable and pleasant trip. Not to mention the scenery and our overall satisfaction haha. Thank you once again. Highly recommended a million times!

El guia turístic parlava amb molta suavitat i paciència, i també es va prendre molt seriosament la resolució de qualsevol dubte o problema que tinguéssim. L'únic inconvenient va ser que l'itinerari era una mica ajustat. Vam coincidir amb un cap de setmana i un dia festiu especial al Japó, hi havia molta gent i havíem de fer cua per tot, cosa que va provocar que no tinguéssim prou temps per menjar i només poguéssim buscar coses petites per picar. Va ser una mica apurat. Però el mar i Amanohashidate eren realment bonics. La part final de les gavines va ser una mica decebedora, ja que la coberta inferior del vaixell ja estava plena i només vam poder anar a la coberta superior a prendre el sol i alimentar les gavines. Però semblava que hi havia poques gavines, i bàsicament ens vam menjar nosaltres mateixos els "Ebi Senbei". Si en vam alimentar una, ja era molt. No sé si és que hi havia tanta gent que ja les havien alimentat prou. Per a aquest tipus d'excursió, la propera vegada seria millor anar-hi entre setmana per evitar les aglomeracions i les cues per tot arreu.🥺🥺
