Miyama Village tours

Had a great time, the service was excellent, it was a group tour but not restrictive, the schedule was reasonable, the itinerary wasn't rushed, and there was enough free time at each spot. The Ine boathouses were really quiet and full of life, and Miyama was more untouched than I expected. The tour guide was very professional, explained things clearly and patiently, and clearly explained the meeting points and times. The day was not tiring but very fulfilling. Highly recommended for those who want to easily see the scenery and don't want to bother with the route themselves.

Fun tour with excellent tour guide. Received an email from the tour company the evening before the tour and clearly providing us the meeting point address, car plate number and tour guide name which is a big help in leading us to the meeting point. The tour guide, Takahashi Riki is very attentive in briefing us the locations and giving us kind advice on where and when to see, eat and what to buy. He even take the effort to give us tips on coming trip in Osaka areas. Definitely recommend to join this tour.

Highly recommended day trip, 5-star rating. The tour guide was very professional and gave us many good suggestions. The weather was great, we were in a great mood, and it was an unforgettable day!

Enjoying every moment of today’s snowfall ❄️🤍 Watching the snow gently fall feels calming and magical, like time slows down just to let me breathe and smile. Moments like this remind me how beautiful simple experiences can be.

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.

It was supposed to rain the night before the tour, so it was cloudy and cold enough to see our breath until late morning. However, thanks to our self-proclaimed weather fairy guide, Jeon Ara, we were able to see Mount Fuji on our way back to Tokyo. It was a breathtaking view after a long wait, making for a perfect end to our trip! I appreciated that Guide Jeon Ara adjusted the itinerary based on the weather and on-site conditions, rather than sticking to the planned order. She also gave great recommendations for delicious snacks at each location and provided accurate guidance and explanations. I realized that seeing Mount Fuji is more difficult than expected and requires a lot of luck (😅). Since the temperature is about 5 degrees colder than in downtown Tokyo, I think April would be a great time to visit, as the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom and the weather will be warmer throughout early, mid, and late April. 🌸

2025/12/28 This was my first trip to Fukuoka with my family. We bought a package tour and saw snow in Japan for the first time. We even had a small snowball fight. The tour guide said that the group the day before couldn't make it up because of the snow on the ground. We were lucky today. Although there wasn't much snow on the ground, it was still a great experience. The scenery in Itoshima was really beautiful, and the palm trees were lovely. We had a lot of fun on the swings, and it was a great place to take pictures. The Ichiran factory is also a great place for a walk. At lunchtime, the tour guide arranged for us to eat Ichiran ramen. I heard it was the main store, so we didn't have to wait in line, which was also a great treat. Finally, at Miyajidake Shrine, we enjoyed delicious food and watched the sunset, a perfect combination. So happy!

We had a wonderful experience on this day tour to Kusasenri Grassland (Kusasenrigahama) and Takachiho Gorge. Our tour guide, Daisy Wu, was very lovely and friendly. She speaks both English and Chinese fluently, which made communication very easy for everyone in the group. During each stop, she also recommended different local food spots for us to try, which was very helpful. Originally, our itinerary was supposed to include Aso Crater as well. However, due to a recent helicopter accident and the ongoing rescue operations, the crater area was temporarily closed. Daisy handled the situation very well and brought us to an alternative spot instead. Luckily, the weather today was very clear, so we were still able to see Aso Crater from Kusasenri Grassland, which made the experience even more special. Overall, this is a highly recommended day tour. Thank you for the lovely keychain souvenir, it’s a nice memory from the trip. Hope to join another tour with Daisy again in the future!
