Review for: Cherry blossom viewing day trip

I am so glad I booked this tour. Huahua is a very good tour guide. He really did his best to assist us. The tour started on time and we returned to Osaka early and safely. It’s just unfortunate that there was not enough time for the Himeji Castle

Review for: Cherry blossom viewing day trip

The cherry blossom arrangements for Ono and Himeji Castle were very unique. Although the cherry blossoms were only 30% open, I can imagine visiting again in the future. I also want to thank our tour guide, Mr. Zhou (Joy). When we passed by the riverbank, he had the driver pull over for 10 minutes so we could take photos where more flowers were blooming behind the embankment, which was very satisfying for us customers. Additionally, at Himeji Castle, he arranged the schedule for Koko-en Garden and Himeji Castle. Since it was a Sunday, to save everyone time, he allowed us to freely arrange our own schedules. So, even though it was 3 hours, everyone could enjoy their preferred activities, which was better. On the way back, everyone could stop at the Mentaiko rest stop. After using the restrooms, we quickly headed back to Osaka, finally arriving at 6:30 PM. It was a tiring day of travel, and I appreciate Mr. Zhou's introductions and transportation arrangements. Thank you! 🙏
