The meeting place was easy to find, and visiting northern Kyoto for this price is the best value for money. The friendly and knowledgeable guide provided a constant stream of useful information. They were also thoughtful enough to take pictures at the tourist spots. I'm glad I chose this product. I would recommend it to my friends if they go to Osaka. Best value for money.

I applied for the tour with my family of three, including an elementary school-aged daughter, and I'm very satisfied. The bus is comfortable. The explanations in between were informative and fun. I'm thinking of using it again if I have the chance. Thank you to guide Sosang for making the tour safe and fun.

Best way to enter USJ — quick, easy, and worth it! Booking my USJ ticket through Klook was the best decision! The whole process was super smooth — I received the e-ticket instantly after payment and just scanned the QR code at the entrance. No need to line up for tickets, which saved us so much time! USJ itself was amazing — we loved Super Nintendo World, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and the Minion Park! The park was clean, organized, and full of exciting rides and photo spots. Tip: arrive early to make the most of your day and download the USJ app to check wait times. Highly recommend buying your USJ tickets on Klook for guaranteed entry and convenience. Everything was seamless from start to finish — totally worth it! 🎢🎮✨ #KlookTravel #USJ #UniversalStudiosJapan #Osaka #ThemeParkAdventure

Smooth and hassle-free ride to USJ! Booked the Dotonbori to Universal Studios Japan bus via Klook and it was super convenient! The pick-up point was easy to find near Dotonbori, and the staff were organized and helpful. The bus was clean, air-conditioned, and right on time — no need to worry about train transfers or crowded subways early in the morning. The ride was comfortable and quick, taking us straight to the entrance of USJ in about 30 minutes. Perfect for travelers who want a stress-free start to their day at the park! I also loved how affordable and punctual it was — definitely worth it. Highly recommend booking this bus on Klook if you’re staying around Namba or Dotonbori. Great option for families, groups, or anyone who wants a direct and easy trip to Universal Studios Japan. 🎢🚌✨ #KlookTravel #USJ #Osaka #UniversalStudiosJapan #DotonboriToUSJ

It was great that I could use the Kansai Enjoy Ticket to fully enjoy the Harukas 300 Observatory, Wonder Cruise, and even the onsen.

Great experience! Thanks Ray for a great evening. Fantastic way to see the area and get our bearings. I was so nervous but instructions were clear and concise - we had a ball! So much fun! Hardest part was smiling for photos 🤣😂

Having this rail pass makes it so easy to get around, and the exchange is simple too. Being able to ride on reserved seats an unlimited number of times is especially great, I highly recommend it!
