Miyama Village tours

the bus set off quite punctually 7:23am. our driver driving skill was good, no jerking at all although the journey was very long. cable car trip was safe and cooling worth the value, on top mountain nothing much, below the Desaru restaurant food was tasty and worthy. Ine boathouse cruise seagulls feeding were fun too, some also fed the eagles 👍🏻👍🏻, could also see numerous eagles along, nvr could we see eagles so near😅. Miyama nothing much to be seen today, bc today is their festive break, in fact come during their snow season will be more beautiful

Highly recommended day trip, 5-star rating. The tour guide was very professional and gave us many good suggestions. The weather was great, we were in a great mood, and it was an unforgettable day!

recently had the pleasure of visiting Amanohashidate, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The scenery was breathtaking — from the tranquil coastline to the iconic sandbar stretching across the bay, every viewpoint felt like a postcard. The atmosphere was peaceful and refreshing, making it a perfect getaway to enjoy nature and relax. A special thank-you to our wonderful tour guide (Joe) for the warm guidance throughout the trip. His clear explanations, helpful tips, and thoughtful arrangements made the entire visit smooth, enjoyable, and meaningful. I truly appreciate the effort in sharing the history, culture, and beauty of Amanohashidate with us. I highly recommend a visit to Amanohashidate — and even more so with such an excellent guide leading the way.

We honestly had such a wonderful time on today’s trip! The tour guide Mr. Liu was super friendly and explained everything clearly, which made the whole experience even better. We were taken to so many beautiful spots, each one felt like its own little surprise. The whole journey was smooth, fun, and perfectly on time, which made it even more enjoyable. If anyone’s looking for a trip that’s well-organized, relaxing, and full of amazing views, we’d definitely recommend this one.

Enjoying every moment of today’s snowfall ❄️🤍 Watching the snow gently fall feels calming and magical, like time slows down just to let me breathe and smile. Moments like this remind me how beautiful simple experiences can be.

Maybe this tour is too popular due to the annual light show at Miyama, because there were at least 100 people that day, so it was quite chaotic trying to figure out which tour guide's list you were on. The tour itself is pretty hassle-free; you just need to be on time for the meet-ups and gatherings after each attraction. The schedule is quite tight, so you have minimal time to sit down and eat. If you're late or spend too long at an attraction, you'll have to order takeout and eat it on the bus. We weren't so lucky because it didn’t snow at Miyama, so there was little to no snow or snow lanterns. Our tour guide was a Taiwanese lady (Jacky) living in Japan. She was entertaining if you understood Mandarin, but less so for foreigners not well-versed in Mandarin. She does try to find information online to share over the speaker for everyone to understand (👍🏻 for the effort). The trip is worth the price and time. Hopefully, it will be snowing next year during the event.

1. To be honest, when I initially purchased the tour, I saw reviews mentioning that some people didn't receive a notification email one day in advance, and others said they waited a long time at the meeting point but didn't see the tour guide. So, I was a bit worried before the trip. 2. Until the day of the trip, 2025.12.27, our tour guide was Mr. Takahashi. The check-in time was scheduled for 7:05 AM, and the guide would be shouting "Takahashi, Amanohashidate, Miyama" at Exit 2, so it was unlikely you'd miss him. 3. I knew before the trip that the journey would be long, which is why many reviews mentioned spending most of the time on the bus. If you do your research, you'll know how far these three major attractions are from Osaka city. But being on the bus wasn't bad at all; we got up early and were able to catch up on sleep. 4. The tour guide was great; he explained the attractions before we arrived and emphasized the meeting time repeatedly. At the end of the trip, he also shared his recommendations for food, based on his 20+ years of living in Osaka, as well as tourist spots to avoid being scammed by merchants. Thank you to the tour guide for leading us today! 5. For those who have never visited these three attractions, it's definitely worth adding a one-day bus tour to your independent trip. They're really beautiful and far from the city. I highly recommend spending the money to experience different scenery and relax while traveling. Note: If you are traveling alone, don't worry about feeling pressured on this trip, because your fellow travelers will become the people who take your photos. If you are lucky enough to meet Mr. Takahashi, your trip will be perfect!

The itinerary was amazing! The license plate and tour guide information are sent one day in advance, so you don't have to worry about not finding the car the next day. It's more convenient and saves more trouble than taking the JR train yourself. Although there is some distance to travel back and forth, the time spent at Amanohashidate and Ine is definitely enough! Having seen Amanohashidate and the boathouses in autumn, I plan to visit again during the cherry blossom season next year.
