Our tour guide (Apple) was very pleasant, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She provided background information on the three scenic spots we visited today. She was very kind and helpful if we had questions. Our trip was very punctual. We had ample time to explore each spot and quite enjoyed the pace.

Nick was an amazing tour guide during this tour! He shared so much about not just the attractions we were visiting, he also taught u about Japanese culture and even some local greetings. The tour was really fun and a great way to visit many places in a day if your feet need a rest or you just want to cover more ground in a short period. Really recommended if you come to Osaka!

Huahua was the absolute best tour guide! After two other tours had canceled on us because of the typhoon we were lucky to have been able to book this tour. It was actually a blessing because this was one of the best tours we’ve been on! HuaHua was an excellent tour guide and made sure we knew details and history about every stop we made. He even let us to know where we could get the best matcha in Uji! The tour included Uji , Byodo , Kiffune Shrine , and Katsuo-ji Temple. We were able to go to every stop with an ample amount of time to roam around and shop! Thank you to HuaHua and his beautiful singing voice for giving us the best tour in Osaka!

our tour guide CC was superb! I was the only english speaking participant in our group, the rest were Chinese and she never made me feel left out. she would give a history and some quick guides to the group first and then would check with me after separately! it was rainy on that day but still managed to go through the itinerary. we had enough time to go around each place and the pickup and drop off place is very convenient especially if you are staying at the dotonbori area. would recommend especially for solo travellers to save time getting lost and to know a bit of history to the places as well :)

Highly recommend this tour! If you want to visit these three somewhat remote locations in one day without getting too tired, you should definitely book it. The guide will introduce the next attraction after you board, then you'll have free time to rest or sleep a bit. Once you arrive at a destination, you can explore on your own or choose to follow the guide. For lunch, Guide Wang also recommended some delicious restaurants in Arashiyama. Katsuoji Temple is beautiful and amazing, but it's a bit difficult to access by public transport. The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is very unique, and the recommended restaurants there are great. Feeding the deer in Nara was a fun and enjoyable experience.

Thank you to our tour guide, Apple, for taking care of us all day today. Her voice was sweet, and she was very kind and lovely! Although the itinerary was a bit rushed, it was expected that we wouldn't spend much time at each stop, given that we were visiting three major attractions in one day. Arashiyama and Katsuoji Temple were both very impressive! The advantage of joining a one-day tour like this is having a driver, which allows you to quickly visit the main spots. Afterward, you can choose your favorite attractions to explore in more depth! Overall, it was a good experience. Plus, I happened to be staying in Osaka the day before and Kyoto the day after, so I boarded the bus in Osaka with my luggage and was able to tell the guide in advance that I wanted to get off in Kyoto on the return trip. This conveniently saved me the hassle of traveling from Osaka to Kyoto with my luggage!

Our tour guide, Yuzu, provided a very detailed and lively introduction, and also shared many interesting local stories. They were also very considerate in helping us take photos to commemorate the trip. Even though we didn't order a meal, they were very enthusiastic in recommending delicious restaurants. Overall, the service was very attentive and the travel experience was very enjoyable. Katsuo-ji Temple, filled with Daruma dolls, is very eye-catching and interesting, with a unique atmosphere. Even just the outer streets of Kiyomizu-dera Temple are great to stroll around. Remember to set aside some time to write a Goshuin inside the temple, it's a very memorable experience. The antique scenery of Arashiyama is breathtaking. Taking a rickshaw deep into the bamboo forest secret path is really worth experiencing once!

Our tour guide was absolutely amazing, providing explanations in both Chinese and English, and taking great care of us! Katsuo-ji Temple was incredibly charming! You can see cute Daruma dolls everywhere, and you can also buy them at the gift shop and place them wherever you like. It's a must-visit! Arashiyama was also great for exploring! I highly recommend trying the honey ice cream! The travel time to each location was about an hour, so you can catch up on sleep in the car. The overall itinerary didn't include meal times, so everyone needs to find their own food.

Best Place to Visit in Mino

The Udatsu Wall Historic District is a beautifully preserved merchant district in Mino City, where traditional Edo-period streets and historic townhouses reflect the prosperity of the region’s famous Mino washi paper trade. The district is known for its distinctive “udatsu” firewalls, ornamental raised walls built between houses to prevent fires, which also became symbols of wealth and status among merchants. Lined with elegant wooden buildings dating from the Edo and Meiji periods, the area offers visitors a glimpse into old Japan and has been designated as an Important Preservation District for Traditional Buildings.
