Floating Garden Observatory

Guide Masa was the best guide I encountered for all my trips in Japan. He’s very well prepared to every single detail. Fantastic with photography skills and even have a secret spot with lesser ppl to take photos.

Really enjoyed this tour. Time at the Miyama Village was quite short but it was beautiful. Ine fishing village was great fun because you can feed the seagulls. The guide Naomi was very kind and helpful! The lunch was also good

Fantastic tour with a nice, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide was truly an enjoyable experience that we will cherish. Particularly, places we visited could not be easily accessible by train. Taking bus tour with Klook was the best option.

Nice place to stay with lots of resto and conbini nearby. Plus, it’s just a few steps away from the subway station and bus stop~👍🏻

The hotel is very close to Higobashi Station on the Yoshihashi Line. The 1st building next to it is Exit 10, which is very convenient for people with luggage. The service staff of the hotel are friendly. If you order something online, it will be delivered to the hotel and it will be delivered to your room. It is a good hotel worth staying at.

The transportation is convenient, and the bus stop is right at the door. The hot spring water is clear, there are large indoor and outdoor pools, and a steam room. Totally great value for money.

If it's your first time in Kyoto, I think you can't help but think about a bus tour. It has the advantage of being able to visit several places in one day. However, it also has the disadvantage of having a short stay time. There were times when time was a bit tight, but fortunately, there was no problem looking around. Guide Kim Hyo-ryeong led the tour, and she was a really satisfying guide. It was nice that she explained the tourist attractions, gave cautions, and told interesting stories. She also helped with taking pictures that weren't in the product description at each tourist attraction, and it was great that she kindly answered and helped customers with travel questions unrelated to the tourist attractions. Among the many bus tours, Dayentrip was the tour that I received the most friendly recommendation from Chatgpt, and I think it was accurate. However, since it's a group tour, the bus boarding time can be inconvenient depending on the level of the participating customers, but the guide was the best, so I was able to have a good time. It was a satisfying tour!

It was a really fun trip to Kyoto. If you are visiting for the first time and are feeling overwhelmed, I highly recommend that you consider it as a stepping stone for your future independent travel in Kyoto and experience it. Next time I visit another part of Japan, I plan to take a bus tour and then do an independent trip.
