Things to do in Ibaraki Kasugaoka Church (Church of the Light)

One of the best day trips you can take from Osaka. An unforgettable experience surrounded by countless Daruma dolls, each with its own unique charm. The best part is that you can even get a complimentary postcard to bring home as a lovely souvenir to remember this special experience!

fantastic package and good value for money. walked straight pass all those queuing to get ticket. that was a very long queue that I skipped using the QR ticket. definitely a must!

Tour Guide: Xiao Song is a very thoughtful tour guide and driver. He notified us of the meeting place in advance the day before, and during the trip, he would also send the meeting time and location, making it very easy to find. He would also wait for everyone near the drop-off and pick-up points, and his memory is truly excellent! Itinerary: The three attractions (Katsuo-ji Temple, Minoo Park + Minoo Waterfall, and Expo '70 Commemorative Park) were all very good. However, you walk a lot all day, so it is recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water. Group Size: Today, the van was fully booked with 12 people. Attractions Along the Way: Among them, I liked the cuteness of Katsuo-ji Temple and the natural scenery of Mt. Minoo the most. The Expo Commemorative Park grounds are too large; if you cannot walk anymore, you can go straight to the Japanese Garden to drink tea, eat sweets, and rest! Breaks: The time allocated for each location was more than sufficient. We even left early, departing at 8:00 AM and returning to the meeting point by 4:30 PM.

We purchased two-day tickets for our family trip, which included two adults and two elementary school children. Although there isn't a separate child fare for the tickets, we were able to enjoy a classic Osaka trip at a great value, visiting Tsutenkaku Tower, the Tsutenkaku Tower Slider, the Umeda Sky Building Observatory, the Wonder Cruise, and the Osaka Bay Twilight Cruise! Even though it was crowded everywhere during the Obon holiday, it was a great advantage that some locations had dedicated ticket counters for the Rakuyu Pass, allowing us to exchange our tickets without waiting in line to purchase them!

This indoor aquarium and small zoo is perfect for summer activities, as it's air-conditioned. It features a wide variety of marine life, as well as animals like tigers, crocodiles, and hippos. The final exhibit allows for close-up interaction with some animals, which greatly excites children.

🍎٩(ˊᗜˋ)و Our perfect Apple Guide 🎀🩷 We were worried at first since it was a tour conducted in English and Chinese, making us the only Korean couple in the group, but now that the tour is over, we are so glad we booked it! 🥹 Apple sent us photos via KakaoTalk so we could easily find the bus boarding location, and before arriving at each destination, she provided thorough explanations ranging from history and culture to souvenirs, meal recommendations, meeting places, and times. This made our trip so comfortable and enjoyable. We were truly touched by her thoughtful consideration in providing explanations in Korean throughout the tour. ❤️ We also want to send our sincere gratitude to the driver for providing a safe and comfortable ride! Thanks to his gentle driving skills and kindness, even the travel time was comfortable and happy. It was a day that made us realize that who you travel with is just as important as where you go. Thanks to the kindness and consideration of you both, my husband and I have created precious memories that will stay with us for a long time. 🥰 Apple Guide and our driver, thank you so much! 💕 I would confidently recommend this tour to any Korean travelers who might be hesitant because of the language barrier. If we get the chance next time, we would love to see you again! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 My husband and I were worried as the only Korean guests on an English and Chinese tour, but Apple was an amazing guide! She shared helpful photos, local history, food and souvenir recommendations, and even explained things in Korean. Our driver was also very kind and drove safely. Thanks to both of them, we had a comfortable and wonderful trip! Highly recommend this tour! ❤️

we had such a great time. we opted for a more expensive wood for our chopsticks but it was really easy to do and a great way to spend a hot morning in Osaka. the staff were super helpful and spoke very good English which was a bonus. there were lots of options and you could choose to engrave your chopsticks too if you wanted at additional cost. a very practical and meaningful souvenir for us that won’t just sit on the shelf - were chopstick lovers at home so these will be used all the time.

incredible process and Kazuki was incredibly helpful during the entire process and helped out any time we needed! it was a lot of fun for me and my girlfriend to do and this will for sure sit as a highlight for our trip!

The tour was well worth the money, and our guide, Gary, was very professional. When I visited Osaka last winter, I booked a one-day tour through Klook, and the guide contacted me via WhatsApp beforehand. This time, no one contacted me in advance, which made me quite anxious. However, everything started very smoothly once we arrived at the designated time and meeting point. My husband, children, and I had a wonderful trip, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and had a great time tasting green tea. I highly recommend booking this tour if it's your first time visiting the places on the itinerary, as it takes care of your meals and transportation.
