The meeting place was easy to find, and visiting northern Kyoto for this price is the best value for money. The friendly and knowledgeable guide provided a constant stream of useful information. They were also thoughtful enough to take pictures at the tourist spots. I'm glad I chose this product. I would recommend it to my friends if they go to Osaka. Best value for money.

Best way to enter USJ — quick, easy, and worth it! Booking my USJ ticket through Klook was the best decision! The whole process was super smooth — I received the e-ticket instantly after payment and just scanned the QR code at the entrance. No need to line up for tickets, which saved us so much time! USJ itself was amazing — we loved Super Nintendo World, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and the Minion Park! The park was clean, organized, and full of exciting rides and photo spots. Tip: arrive early to make the most of your day and download the USJ app to check wait times. Highly recommend buying your USJ tickets on Klook for guaranteed entry and convenience. Everything was seamless from start to finish — totally worth it! 🎢🎮✨ #KlookTravel #USJ #UniversalStudiosJapan #Osaka #ThemeParkAdventure

Smooth and hassle-free ride to USJ! Booked the Dotonbori to Universal Studios Japan bus via Klook and it was super convenient! The pick-up point was easy to find near Dotonbori, and the staff were organized and helpful. The bus was clean, air-conditioned, and right on time — no need to worry about train transfers or crowded subways early in the morning. The ride was comfortable and quick, taking us straight to the entrance of USJ in about 30 minutes. Perfect for travelers who want a stress-free start to their day at the park! I also loved how affordable and punctual it was — definitely worth it. Highly recommend booking this bus on Klook if you’re staying around Namba or Dotonbori. Great option for families, groups, or anyone who wants a direct and easy trip to Universal Studios Japan. 🎢🚌✨ #KlookTravel #USJ #Osaka #UniversalStudiosJapan #DotonboriToUSJ

It was great that I could use the Kansai Enjoy Ticket to fully enjoy the Harukas 300 Observatory, Wonder Cruise, and even the onsen.

breakfast: theres something for everyone. snacks in the afternoon was also something we have never experienced elsewhere A/C: We had a but of an issue on a/c settings as there was no individual temp control in room (again a first for us as we have never been anywhere like this). we do have ac fan control which you can set to Low Medium or High. The temp setting was too hot for our liking & we asked the front desk what we can do, we were told to just open the window. Which we did. on our 5th night when it seemed the furnace was on instead of the ac, at 2am, I had to send husband down to front desk to once again ask what can be done. we were told to wait because they just shifted from heater setting to ac cooling. we could not wait as we were drenched in sweat. we were finally offered a room fan. the first one provided did not work so we again called to have to have it replaced. we finally have a working room fan and had a better sleep, the best one we had in our 4 nights.
