Ine Bay Sightseeing Boat tours

The morning Isonoya itinerary was quite tight. When we got to the cafe, it was crowded, so we couldn't leisurely enjoy the food and scenery. Feeding the seagulls from the boat was indeed quite interesting. I accidentally won a golden nugget and got bitten, but the feeling of being a seagull's nest was quite magical, like being close to nature. The afternoon Amanohashidate time was about 2 hours. Following the guide and taking the cable car, we probably had an hour left. The scenery on the mountain was magnificent, and there were many facilities to play with. It just so happened that it was the Emperor's birthday (or yesterday), and many stores were closed, so we couldn't find a place to eat (the remaining few were crowded). But there were still a few small stalls where you could buy snacks. The scenery of Chion-ji Temple is beautiful, and the paper umbrella votive tablets are also very beautiful. I really wanted to take them back. The tour guide was kind and enthusiastic, constantly emphasizing the characteristics of the attractions. I accidentally broke the handle of a cabinet on the bus, and he kindly said it was okay. I felt a little embarrassed. The itinerary was great and I would consider it again in the future and recommend it to others.

This tour was the highlight of our trip! The meeting point was close to our hotel, and the guide, Liu, sent me the exact map pin to use. (On Google Maps, the pin is named "KKDay"). The bus was warm and comfortable on such a gold and windy day, it was about 8-10°C. What we loved most was that the trip truly felt so relaxed, as if we booked private transfers and not a full itinerary trip! Our guide, Liu always sent us meeting point instructions and highlights for the spots we were visiting. He was very accommodating and answered all our questions. He's fluent in Chinese, English and Japanese! I would 100% recommend this trip to anyone taking a trip to Osaka!!!

Our tour guide, Hua Hua(花花）, provided exceptional service, offering clear explanations and invaluable assistance throughout the tour. I highly recommend this tour for those interested in visiting these two locations.

This time we chose to go to Amanohashidate and Miyama thatched roof village. We didn't go to Ine, in exchange for more visiting time. Therefore, the whole trip won't be too rushed, and we can enjoy the scenery. In the morning, we went to Amanohashidate, Kyoto by the Sea, and the scenery was very beautiful. We brought some bread ourselves to save time for lunch. (This way we have two hours to play, we can take the cable car, go down the mountain to play on the sandbar, and visit Chionji Temple) Playing on the lake at noon was very fun. It was the first time to see seagulls and eagles 🦅 so close. In the afternoon, we arrived at Miyama, Kyoto in the Mountains. We had one hour to visit the thatched roof village, which is as quiet and beautiful as a fairytale village. In addition, the tour guide, Hua Hua, was very kind, and diligently introduced the attractions, and enthusiastically helped us take pictures and reminded us of details. When we got off the bus in Osaka, he also kindly told us where to take the train with an elevator, which was more convenient. I highly recommend this trip and the tour guide, Hua Hua.

Overall, it was a very satisfying package tour. Although the long travel times made it a bit tiring, our guide, 'Sim Man-pyeong,' was great at keeping us entertained with conversation and explanations. He was proficient in four languages (Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and English), but I especially appreciated his humorous Korean commentary and his restaurant recommendations at the end! I'm so grateful. The scenery was incredibly beautiful, beyond words. I had wanted to see the Japanese countryside, and it was exactly as I imagined. I couldn't capture it all in photos, so I'll keep it in my memory forever.

Highly recommended to go on this tour with family and friends! We even managed to see snow on the way there! My family had a fun time feeding the seagulls with shrimp crackers at Ine. We also managed to take nice pictures and enjoyed the view at Amanohashidate.

I highly recommend Ming Ming as a tour guide. She's energetic and provides lively explanations of the sights on the bus, and she's always ready to help everyone solve problems. The itinerary was also very interesting, and the weather was great. This time I participated alone, but maybe next time I'll visit these places again with family and friends.

Kinosaki Onsen is a place for a relaxing and unhurried trip. Izushi Town is a relaxed and comfortable place to stroll through the streets, and Izushi Sara Soba is unique and delicious. Kinosaki Onsen has a different atmosphere again, It is very suitable for people who like to walk slowly and feel the local nostalgic and cultural atmosphere. A special thank you to our driver and tour guide, Mr. Zhang Yanhan, for driving comfortably and safely, taking us to experience the charm of Kinosaki Onsen, and bringing back wonderful memories.
