Because it was within the area, they picked me up from the hotel, and it was great that they were fluent in Japanese, knew each temple in detail, and were able to visit remote locations that would have been difficult to visit on my own. The guide was also interesting and explained things in an easy-to-understand way, which was very informative! Lunch was predetermined, and I was able to enter a restaurant that I wouldn't have been able to enter on my own, and they helped me with anything I didn't understand, so I was able to sightsee with peace of mind. I didn't think I would be able to see elephants on this trip, but I was even able to ride an elephant, which I am very satisfied with. Thank you very much!
