Things to do in Yosa

This was such a unique tour! Kudos to Allen for the very informative and fun experience. I’d say half of the fun of this tour is because of his stories! I learned so much about the place. Also, Northern Kyoto has its own beauty. I’m grateful that I joined this tour!

We had an enjoyable one day tour with our tour guide Moana. Visiting Ine Funaya, stunning views of Amanohashidate, ferry ride feeding seagulls and lastly visiting Miyama Kayabuki farmhouse. However the time is quite rushing but overall everything was excellent. Moana was caring and attentive. She always checking on each of us.

​Excellent tour to Amanohashidate and Ine Funaya with Mr. Yu Qi Hang! The trip ran smoothly and completely on time. Mr. Yu was very informative, humble, and explained the itinerary so well that we never felt confused. He was always happy to answer our questions. It was a wonderful experience overall!

we had a wonderful experience with this trip guided by Lui. He explained well in Nihongo, English and Mandarin. Our toddler is the only children in this trip & everything went well. We enjoyed the scenery along the train journey, the amanohashidate viewland and ine village experience. super worth it!

Our guide was amazing! She was very knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. He explained everything clearly and gave us helpful information throughout the trip. The places we visited were absolutely beautiful. Although the journey was quite long, it was definitely worth it, especially if you love nature. Highly recommended!

GREAT TOUR! lead by tour guide that can converse in eng chinese and japanese! well versed. the tour journey was definitely worth it. bus ride was 4 hours to and fro. the views were scenic and we get to feed seagulls!

Last time, I visited Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, so this time I went to places I hadn't seen before. It was just before a long holiday, so there weren't many people, and it was wonderfully peaceful and quiet! When you actually see it, it's not so much 'Wow, that's amazing!' but rather beautiful scenery, the path you walk while admiring that scenery, various photos taken at photo spots, and an unexpected seagull zoo feeding (making eye contact with seagulls and hawks). I didn't have high expectations, but it was fun! The only downside is that the travel time is a bit long if you depart from Osaka! However, our guide, MICA, explained many things about Japan so well and took such beautiful photos that I even changed my KakaoTalk profile picture for the first time in a while! 😄

The tour guide spoke very gently and patiently, and was also very dedicated to resolving any issues we had. The only minor drawback was that the itinerary was a bit tight. We happened to go on a weekend, plus it was a special holiday in Japan, so there were huge crowds and long queues for everything. This meant we didn't have enough time to eat proper meals and had to grab quick snacks, which felt a bit rushed. However, the sea and Amanohashidate were truly beautiful. The final seagull feeding part was a little disappointing; the lower deck of the boat was already full, so we had to go to the upper deck and stand in the sun to feed the seagulls. But there seemed to be very few seagulls, and we ended up eating most of the shrimp crackers ourselves. We were lucky if we fed even one. I'm not sure if it was because there were so many people that the seagulls were already full. For this kind of trip, it would definitely be better to go on a weekday next time to avoid the crowds and long waits for everything.🥺🥺

We really enjoyed our tour! The travel time is around 3hrs each way and it's very convenient for us. I definitely would want to come back and spend a few days here. I would recommend this tour especially if it's your first time in Japan.
