The trip was very fun, we've really this trip. Our tour guide Allen is an expect at teaching us the history of the each places we've visited. He imparted us with knowledge about each of the places and taught us some trivias about Japan. He made it very fun, he made funny jokes, taught us some trade-offs of activities, and recommended which food to try. He's very honest too when it comes to his commendations. Ofcourse, he taught us the proper manners when visting each places and how to properly act inside the temple.

Oscar was really great. Very informative when explaining the history of tourist attractions during our tour. One thing that gave me an impression is that whe he said “how does japanese express their love to someone?” :) and somebody said “aishteru” but Oscar said “ The moon is so bright” What a revelation and a moment to remember.

This was my first time taking a day trip with this travel agency, and our tour guide, Wen-Ji Ju, was incredibly enthusiastic and energetic. He switched between three languages fluently, which was impressive, as we had travelers from Taiwan, Korea, and Japan on the bus today. He explained the itinerary three times, managed the time perfectly, and we didn't experience any delays. He even provided pictures at each scenic spot, showing us the best angles for Instagram-worthy photos, and offered to take pictures for everyone. He was very thoughtful, even checking in with those who hadn't taken many photos to make sure they got some. Along the way, he recommended delicious snacks and unique convenience store drinks, and it was clear he wasn't just promoting them. His enthusiasm was consistent throughout the entire trip. The group members were also very considerate and didn't cause any delays at any of the attractions. I hope to have the chance to join another tour and have the same guide again! 👍 I do have a small suggestion for the travel agency, though. There are very few restaurants in Amanohashidate, and it gets very crowded with tourists, which caused significant delays during lunch. It was a bit disappointing that we missed some spots because of this. It would be much better if the agency could offer a lunch reservation and meal service.

During the summer vacation, I took my child to Japan. There were many places I wanted to visit, but I knew transportation would be a challenge, and without a guide, I might not understand anything. I've never joined a tour group or a day trip in China before, so I decided to try this with an open mind, and it truly deserves a five-star rating! This package is excellent and very affordable (I really didn't expect it to be so good for such a low price). The tour guide is a very enthusiastic Chinese person who is a permanent resident in Japan. The bus was comfortable throughout the trip, and the guide shared a lot about the local customs and culture from his many years in Japan, which was very insightful. A big thank you to Tour Guide Wu Shifeng; he was excellent and very professional, with no hidden fees! We visited all the classic Kyoto landmarks in one day, and the pace was just right! Highly recommended! Everyone should definitely go for it!

I wish we could give our guide more than 5 stars! Despite the best efforts of rain and fog, we had an excellent day exploring the coast. The countryside is beautiful to behold from both the bus and the train. Ride the chair lift, do the good luck pose, eat kaisendon and visit the temple in Amanohashidate. If you don't join the boat tour, take a stroll through Ine to appreciate the Funaya (boat houses), sip some tea by the sea, and keep an eye out for eagles and macaques. We are hoping to stay in the area next time due to this great tour.

We had an amazing experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our wonderful tour guide, Tina! She was friendly, knowledgeable, organized, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the trip.
The destinations were absolutely breathtaking. Ine Funaya was peaceful and picturesque, with its unique waterfront boathouses creating a charming atmosphere unlike anywhere else. Amanohashidate truly lived up to its reputation as one of Japan’s most scenic views. The panoramic scenery was stunning, and the experience of seeing the famous “bridge to heaven” was unforgettable. Finally, Miyama was a beautiful glimpse into traditional rural Japan.
Overall, this tour exceeded our expectations. Every destination offered something unique, and Tina made the entire journey informative, fun, and stress-free. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the beauty and culture of Kyoto’s countryside. Thank you, Tina, for making our trip so memorable!

I had really fun on this tour and I feel like for the price that I paid, I got to do a lot of the must-sees in Japan. The tour guide, which I forgot his name 🥲, was really funny and engaging. He offered to take photos for each group and he knew how to speak English, Chinese, and Japanese. Also, I'm glad that I was able to upgrade to have a lunch even though I didn't originally buy it through Klook. I feel like if I didn't have food reserved before, I would have spent less time in one of the areas. Overall, I would definitely do this tour again in the future.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience on this tour (departed from Osaka).
Our tour guide, Joe, made the entire day exceptional. We were visiting from San Francisco with our extended family of 10, including several young kids, and Joe went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time.
One decision he made was reversing the itinerary taking us to Nara Park first. we were able to see and feed the deer before the deer crackers sold out! Another highlight was that Joe personally walked our group through the monkey park forest trail (all the way to the top.) He took our family photo and gave us time to enjoy feeding the monkeys. He cared that everyone had the best experience.
Take this tour when visiting Osaka - if you’re lucky enough to get Joe as your guide, you’re in excellent hands. Thank you, Joe, for making our family’s day one of the highlights of our Japan trip!
