Reviews
Our guide spoke great English and adjusted the schedule around the weather. The sandbar and the little shrine nearby were beautiful. Honestly the best day trip we did from Kyoto.
Good private day trip. Amanohashidate is very scenic and the guide explained the legend well. It is a long drive from Kyoto, but the car was comfortable. Good value overall.
Rented the private tour for our anniversary and it was perfect. Walking the sandbar, riding bikes under the pines, and the seafood lunch were all highlights. Our guide was warm and very knowledgeable.
The view of Amanohashidate from the Kasamatsu Park observation deck was breathtaking. The guide explained the legend of the bridge to heaven, and the trip from Kyoto was comfortable. Highly recommended!
Very smooth tour from Kyoto. Amanohashidate is stunning and the guide gave us lots of local tips. The pace was relaxed and we had time for lunch. Highly recommend.
Amanohashidate is so spectacular, and the tour guide was very patient, sharing many stories about the Three Views of Japan. The private chartered day tour felt much less rushed, we enjoyed fresh seafood, and it was truly great value. Highly recommended!
Amanohashidate is truly so beautiful! The tour guide even taught us how to take photos by looking at Amanohashidate from between our legs, which was super fun. The chartered car tour starting from Kyoto was comfortable and hassle-free, totally worth it.
Excellent private tour. Amanohashidate is beautiful and the guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Good timing and the car was clean. Value for money is great, will recommend.
Ine's boat houses are truly unique, the tour guide explained everything very clearly, and there was even time to take a boat ride and see the seagulls. There were just a bit more people that day, so we had to wait in line briefly for photos, but overall it is still highly recommended.
Perfect day away from the Kyoto crowds. The guide was punctual and full of fun facts, and the walk across the sandbar at Amanohashidate was a highlight. We loved it.
