Things to do in Miyama Village

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!

I received my reminder and instructions the day before the tour and you are requested to join the WhatsApp group for the tour. We meet outside the Nippombashi Station Exit 2. A lot of other tour groups as gather there to London buses so make sure you arrive early enough and keep your eyes peeled for whatever marker they are wearing/carrying. For our tour we had two tour guides, Nox and Rex. They were engaging and shared stories of Japan’s history of Osaka, Amanohashidate, Ine fishing village, and Miyama. This was definitely the highlight of our trip! One tip I would like to share is, make sure you eat breakfast beforehand and also bring a few snacks in case you end up not having time to eat lunch while exploring. Plan to eat in Amanohashidate, because that’s the only place where you’ll have extended time. We opted to have our tour guides purchase tickets for the Ine sightseeing boat tour as well as the chairlift in Amanohashidate. Get the milk and milk pudding in Miyama!

Join the tour trip on 24 April with the my elderly mum. The lady guide Qiu Hong（秋紅) is super helpful and patiently assist my mum. Glad to meet her and she very attentive,she remind all of us time and even not forget to send us location to gather . She provide give information on the trip. The day before trip she even suggest us to bring some snacks to eat. Thanks for the good memory.

Our tour guide was Mr. Gu Wenji. This was my first time joining a one-day tour like this, and it was a great experience. There was no hard selling, just a heartfelt sharing of local Japanese culture. Mr. Gu is very impressive; he speaks multiple languages. When giving explanations, he would repeat them in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, so there was no need to worry about not understanding. I also want to give a special shout-out because the night before, I accidentally left my power bank at a restaurant. Since I don't speak Japanese and didn't have a Japanese phone card, I couldn't call them back. So, I asked Mr. Gu for help, and he was more than happy to assist. He even told me that if I encountered any difficulties in Osaka in the following days, I could contact him. Hearing that was truly heartwarming! If I have the chance to join another tour, I would hope Mr. Gu could be our guide again.

Today, I took my mom on a day trip. It was my first time purchasing a day pass on Klook, and the experience was excellent. Although there was a small system issue during morning check-in, and our names weren't on the list, Tour Guide Liu still accommodated us very well, making my mom and me very happy. I highly recommend arranging a day trip in the middle of your Osaka vacation; it allows your feet to rest, and seniors can enjoy a relaxing time. Tour Guide Liu is amazing; she can switch between Chinese and English seamlessly. It was fantastic! Highly recommend!

Maggie has been an excellent tour guide! This was my first time booking a group tour and I was hesitant at first but I’m glad I did. The tour was paced well, I did not feel rushed and I honestly felt that the alloted time for each location was sufficient enough to get a feel and have fun on each places. We were in Ine Bay from 1015H-1055H, which includes the boat ride. A tip that I would give if you’re not into feeding seagulls is to skip the boat ride and just explore the Ine bay/ boathouses by foot. Next stop was Amanohashidate and we were there for 2hrs, then last stop was the Miyama thatched village which was phenomenal. Make sure to try their milk!! 🫶🏼

Many thanks to our Easy Go tour leader, Huahua, for her professional, enthusiastic, and meticulous full-全程 guided tour and explanations. She shared insights into the unique cuisine and local customs of each attraction. Most of all, we are grateful that Huahua patiently took turns helping everyone capture classic beautiful photos at each scenic spot. During our breaks, she serenaded us with beautiful songs and shared humorous travel anecdotes, ensuring that our hot day out was filled with continuous joy. Finally, we thank our angelic tour leader, Huahua, for guiding us through mountains and seas to explore the beautiful scenery of Ine Bay and Amanohashidate. The boat ride to feed the seagulls and the personal chairlift up and down the mountain were particularly rare and enjoyable experiences. Ending our day by stepping into the beautiful, fairytale-like Miyama thatched village left us with deep and wonderful memories of today's journey.❤️❤️❤️

wonderful day trip, if you have walked too much but still have so much to see book this. we were able to see 3 very different locations, some which would be difficult to access on our own and all at a very easy pace. The guide was lovely, welcoming and shared perfect historical knowledge throughout.

Our tour guide, Nick, is fluent in both English and Mandarin, making communication effortless. His explanations are humorous and engaging, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the trip. He is very attentive to the group, carefully observing everyone's needs, which made us feel at ease. The introductions to the attractions were detailed and rich in content, including both historical backgrounds and interesting anecdotes, which helped everyone feel more immersed. The scenery along the way was beautiful, with mountains and rivers blending together, truly refreshing the mind. The entire itinerary was well-arranged, with a suitable pace, allowing us to appreciate the beautiful sights and enjoy the guide's wonderful commentary. The group members interacted well with each other, creating a harmonious atmosphere. The trip was filled with laughter and memories, leaving a deep impression and making it highly recommendable.
