Hyogo Εκδρομές

The tour was conducted in Chinese, which I didn’t know beforehand, haha! So I couldn’t really understand any of the explanations since everything was in Chinese. Other than that, I’m still glad I joined this tour because visiting these three destinations on my own would have been quite difficult. Overall, it was a convenient way to see all three places in one day!

This was truly an amazing experience! I highly recommend our dedicated tour guide, Nick. He was very friendly and came prepared with a book of picture cards, offering humorous and lively explanations that made the entire trip rich and diverse. Himeji Castle in August can only be described as scorching hot, but Nick thoughtfully provided salt candies to help us prevent heatstroke. He guided us through the entire castle, revealing its charming splendor and teaching us so much! At every attraction, he made sure to tell us about local characteristics and recommend local specialties. In just one day, I gained a deeper understanding and a more lasting impression of Osaka and Kobe! I hope to have the chance to join such a wonderful tour again. Everyone should definitely support Nick! :)

This Kumano Kodo day trip was a perfect experience, and I must highly recommend our guide, Yan! The guide is Chinese, so there was absolutely no language barrier throughout the entire trip. They served as both driver and guide, meticulously arranging everything, making the trip incredibly hassle-free. Before arriving at each attraction, the guide would provide detailed explanations of its history and key highlights. They thoughtfully advised us on how to best experience each site, what specific sights to focus on, and clearly communicated the duration of free time and the meeting time for our return. This meant we didn't have to worry about planning ourselves, and the pace of the trip was just right. The entire itinerary, from the service area, Kumano Hongu Taisha, Otorii, and collecting stamps at Oyu no Hara, to Nachi Taisha, Seiganto-ji Temple, Hiro Shrine, Daimonzaka, and Hayatama Taisha, concluding with a visit to the Totsukawa Onsen footbath, featured detailed and easy-to-understand explanations at every stop. The guide eloquently shared the cultural stories behind the Kumano Sanzan, allowing us to grasp the profound heritage behind these World Heritage sites, even without prior research. The guide's service attitude was gentle and attentive, and their driving was smooth and safe. They never took detours or rushed the itinerary. There was no pressure throughout the trip, allowing ample time for photos, leisurely strolls, and worship. At the end, there was even plenty of time to soak our feet in the footbath to relieve travel fatigue. I was initially concerned about the inconveniences of traveling alone in a foreign country, but thankfully, this Chinese-speaking guide provided meticulous care throughout the journey. The itinerary was both enriching and relaxed, allowing for a deep appreciation of the sacred Kumano landscape. The overall value for money was excellent. For anyone planning a day trip to Kumano, I strongly recommend Guide Yan!

This is a great trip for the last few days of a vacation, perfect for winding down, haha. It's very beautiful and the itinerary is relaxed. The flower corridor is wonderful and cool, and the waffles and grapes are delicious. The view was excellent on the day we went. The guide is a very diligent and responsible person, and I enjoyed the little stories he shared. Since I was traveling alone, the guide, Hua Hua, also helped me take photos, which I really appreciated. Overall, I think it was a fantastic trip.

Αυτό είναι το τέλειο δρομολόγιο για εμάς, γιατί ξεκινάει στις 11 π.μ., οπότε δεν χρειάστηκε να ξυπνήσουμε πολύ νωρίς. Μας επιτρέπει επίσης να εξερευνήσουμε τις τοποθεσίες μόνοι μας με αρκετό χρόνο, χωρίς να νιώθουμε ότι βιαζόμαστε. Ο Cave ήταν ένας εξαιρετικός ξεναγός! Ήμασταν οι μόνοι αγγλόφωνοι τουρίστες στην ομάδα, αλλά φρόντισε να γνωρίζουμε όλα όσα χρειαζόμασταν, ακόμα κι αν έπρεπε να επαναλάβει όλα όσα είπε από τα Μανδαρινικά στα Αγγλικά.

Μας άρεσε πολύ η εκδρομή και είχαμε μια πολύ συναρπαστική εμπειρία σε αυτό το ταξίδι. Απλώς ο χρόνος για κάθε στάση ήταν πολύ μικρός, αλλά συνολικά ήταν αποδεκτό. Η ξεναγός μας, η Yuki, είναι πολύ ταλαντούχα με πολυγλωσσικές ικανότητες στα Κινεζικά, Ιαπωνικά, Κορεατικά και Αγγλικά, και απάντησε φιλικά σε όλες μας τις ερωτήσεις με υπομονή. Απολαύσαμε πραγματικά αυτή την ημερήσια εκδρομή.

The itinerary was relaxing, and our guide, Gary, was extremely professional, attentive, and responsible. His explanations were lively and engaging, the schedule was well-organized, and he took excellent care of everyone in the group, making the entire trip even more perfect. Thank you very much; he deserves a five-star recommendation!

Υπέροχη περιήγηση, απολαύσαμε τη βόλτα γύρω από την Ικέντα όπου βρίσκεται το μουσείο Cup Noodle, η πόλη Αρίμα είναι πανέμορφη, πρέπει να φοράτε αθλητικά παπούτσια για τη μεγάλη βόλτα. Απολαύσαμε όλες τις δραστηριότητες, χάρη στον Junyoung, τον οδηγό μας, ο οποίος τράβηξε καταπληκτικές φωτογραφίες για την ομάδα.

The driver was excellent and drove very safely. From start to finish, the trip felt like being guided by a friend. He took care of my family and me meticulously. The car was clean, and the itinerary was comfortably and appropriately arranged. Five-star rating!
