It was a worthwhile experience. The meeting place at VIP bus liner is accessible from our Sakae hotel. Punctuality means 30 minutes earlier as the bus leaves right on time. If you want to explore food on your own choose without lunch as the booked lunch was served past 2pm . We enjoyed hida beef skewers at Takayama and the grilled Hida beef at Shira kawago, it was soooo good my 11 years old definitely loved it. Shout out to our very accommodating guide Mr. BARA-SAN, thank you for sharing the history, culture and practices of the places we went to.

I had an amazing experience on this trip! ❤️ Everything was well organized, the places were beautiful, and I enjoyed every moment. A special shoutout to our guide, CC, who was incredibly sweet, friendly, and helpful throughout the journey. She made the whole experience even more enjoyable with her lovely personality and positive energy. 🥰
Highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Japan. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip! 🇯🇵✨

I had such a fun experience for this tour, thanks to Sarah! She did an amazing job proactively sending comms and organizing the entire tour such that we can enjoy it well. She also went out of her way to show me good souvenir shops and offered to take my pictures (since I travelled solo). Can’t wait to do this tour with my family with me next time!

A very beautiful place (Amanohashidate and Ine boat houses), with plenty of time for the itinerary. The chairlift experience at Amanohashidate was truly rare and special. Unfortunately, due to high winds and rough seas that day, the boat tour was canceled. The return bus ride was nearly 4 hours long. Our tour guide, Xiao Fu, gave up his regular seat and sat on a small auxiliary jump seat for the entire journey back; this thoughtful gesture deeply showed his care for the tour members.
The first stop of the itinerary was riding the coastal train. A middle-aged tour guide with a backpack from another group of your company cut the line, leaving the elderly and young children in our group without seats. More than once, that middle-aged male guide from the other tour walked over to our guide and spoke rudely to him, displaying an arrogant and haughty attitude. I witnessed all of this.
We kindly request management to address the middle-aged male tour guide who cut the line on the platform and was rude at JR Nishi-Maizuru Station on the morning of October 29th. Right outside the Amanohashidate cable car station, he once again provoked our guide, Xiao Fu, with rude and insulting remarks! As a tour participant, I was truly shocked to witness these two poor behaviors! With a middle-aged tour guide of such poor character, I am just thankful I was not in the group he was leading.

Huahua was the absolute best tour guide! After two other tours had canceled on us because of the typhoon we were lucky to have been able to book this tour. It was actually a blessing because this was one of the best tours we’ve been on! HuaHua was an excellent tour guide and made sure we knew details and history about every stop we made. He even let us to know where we could get the best matcha in Uji! The tour included Uji , Byodo , Kiffune Shrine , and Katsuo-ji Temple. We were able to go to every stop with an ample amount of time to roam around and shop! Thank you to HuaHua and his beautiful singing voice for giving us the best tour in Osaka!

We were very satisfied with our full-day trip to Nara and Uji, and I must give our guide, Ms. Mori, a five-star rating. She was very professional and friendly, switching seamlessly between English, Chinese, and Japanese throughout the tour. She explained each attraction carefully and patiently, and clearly arranged all the pick-up and drop-off points. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail made us feel very comfortable. I left the group in Uji to go to Kyoto on my own, and Ms. Mori even took me almost all the way to JR Nara Station, which I greatly appreciate! The driver was also very professional, drove smoothly, and helped with our luggage. Thank you! I highly recommend this tour; the pace was relaxed yet fulfilling, and the overall experience was excellent. I truly recommend it to everyone!

It was my first experience with klook and I couldn't be happier. Even if it was rainy the whole day, we could enjoy the itinerary as described thanks to Effy. She was amazing, she explained everything and was always ready to answer other questions and doubts. I would totally recommend 🌱

Had a great tour with our guide, Choi Intark. We were the only group for the tour so the experience was very personalized. Choi was super friendly and knowledgeable about the places we went to. There was ample free time given for each location. The vehicle used was also clean and comforatable.

I think this is my first time leaving a review while using Klook. I am Korean and traveled alone. Overall, I am 100% satisfied. Although I rode with foreign tourists, there were a few other Koreans including myself, and it was so great that our guide, Lee Song-ran, explained everything in Korean. When I visited Amanohashidate back in May, it was during Golden Week, so I couldn't ride the lift ㅠㅠ I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to ride it this time either, but I was so happy it was easy to do so!! The water was so clean, and it was a feast for the eyes. Visiting the thatched-roof rural village early in the morning was great for a stroll. I tried the sweet potato donut that was recommended—it was hot and made a great, light breakfast. Going to Ine Funaya to watch the gulls and taking a walk in the tranquil countryside village was the best part of all. Also, the bus driver drove in a way that really relieved any frustration; his driving was simply the best!!! It was also nice that the guide took pictures for everyone on the bus tour whenever we arrived at a nice spot. If I visit again, I will definitely use Gogo Tour❤️

Quick facts about Uji
General info
What to know before visiting Uji
Uji at a glance for travellers
Uji is best-known on Klook for relaxed Tours and hands-on Cultural experiences, with Tours leading by booking volume followed by Cultural experiences. The city's visitor rhythm peaks in April, when demand jumps by about 73% above a typical month, and drifts down to a trough in August at roughly 45% below typical demand, according to Klook booking data. If you enjoy sakura-season energy and lively touring options, April offers atmosphere and lots to book; if you prefer calmer sightseeing, the quieter months give more breathing room. Decide whether you want peak-season buzz or quieter streets. Based on Klook booking data.
When to visit and typical prices
April is the clear high point for visitors, with demand about 73% above a typical month, while August is the quietest month at roughly 45% below typical demand; these are Klook booking data. Prices vary through the year: the priciest month on Klook was July at AUD 96, while December was the cheapest at AUD 34. That means late-year travel often pairs lower prices with smaller crowds, while April and July give the peak-season atmosphere but higher typical prices. For lower prices and quieter streets choose December or the quieter months; for festival-like energy pick April or July.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | AUD 72 |
| February | Quieter than usual | AUD 67 |
| March | Quieter than usual | AUD 69 |
| April | Peak demand | AUD 93 |
| May | Peak demand | AUD 36 |
| June | Busier than usual | AUD 66 |
| July | Quieter than usual | AUD 96 |
| August | Very quiet | AUD 63 |
| September | Quieter than usual | AUD 61 |
| October | About average | AUD 67 |
| November | Busier than usual | AUD 64 |
| December | About average | AUD 34 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers from Australia lock things in well ahead — on average about 12 days ahead, with early planners booking around 32 days out — according to Klook booking data for platform bookings. That means you have room to plan but not months to delay: book popular Tours and Cultural experiences earlier for April and July when demand rises. For flexibility, some last-minute options appear about 2 days before travel, but peak months reward earlier booking. Use Klook to compare options and secure dates you want, then enjoy looser days on arrival knowing key experiences are already reserved.
