💜A wonderful trip with Guide Seo Geum-bong💜 I was surprised that it was my first time having a guide with such experience! He's amazing!! Even though there weren't many Koreans, he did a great job explaining the destinations and overall Japanese culture, which I really appreciated. The stories I learned for the first time were so valuable! There was also a solo traveler, and he took good care of them too. He even took some great photos for us!!! It was a very enjoyable trip. Thank you!! I hope to see you again next time!!🥰

Before my trip to Osaka, I started diligently searching for tours a month in advance, thinking that even though it's summer, I should experience the beauty and tours of traditional Japan. After watching vlogs and reading tour reviews, I found this particular tour, as many suggested that 'about three locations a day seems appropriate.' Our guide, Mr. Oh Seok-bong, led our tour, and I felt confident in his abilities when he introduced himself in various languages after we boarded the bus. He precisely highlighted the key cultural aspects of Japan and the main points of interest at each location, allowing us to efficiently visit the places we wanted to see! The tour concluded as a satisfying experience, thanks to his restaurant recommendations and engaging commentary throughout. If I get the chance to take another tour in the future, I'd love to have Mr. Oh Seok-bong as my guide again!!!😆 Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable!!!

I wish we could give our guide more than 5 stars! Despite the best efforts of rain and fog, we had an excellent day exploring the coast. The countryside is beautiful to behold from both the bus and the train. Ride the chair lift, do the good luck pose, eat kaisendon and visit the temple in Amanohashidate. If you don't join the boat tour, take a stroll through Ine to appreciate the Funaya (boat houses), sip some tea by the sea, and keep an eye out for eagles and macaques. We are hoping to stay in the area next time due to this great tour.
