Osaka Day trips

We had an amazing day trip to Ine and Amanohashidate. Ine’s traditional boathouses were peaceful and charming, while Amanohashidate’s scenic views were absolutely breathtaking. It was the perfect mix of culture and nature — truly a memorable experience!

Our tour guide, Hua Hua(花花）, provided exceptional service, offering clear explanations and invaluable assistance throughout the tour. I highly recommend this tour for those interested in visiting these two locations.

Christine was an absolute rockstar as our guide—super knowledgeable and made every stop exciting with her fun facts and tips. And shoutout to Mr. Yamada for keeping us rolling smoothly! The pace was just right—never felt rushed, got to soak in every spot. 10/10, would tour with them again in a heartbeat!

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

Thank you, tour guide Xiao Gao, for taking us to see our first snowfall ❄️! I finally truly understand that snowflakes are "really hexagonal"! Videos or online photos are too "flat". Real snowfall has layers of distance, including speed, density, and angle, interwoven into the romantic world described by poets. I really like the attractions you planned. The three main points were arranged perfectly, a very strong route plan! But I think it would be better if the time allocated for Miyama could be extended. Actually, you can really find a corner here to enjoy coffee and daydream! Also, tour guide Xiao Gao's story about "young people" at the end was hilarious. I can totally understand because my hometown also has a serious aging population! Finally, I wish you and your children peace and happiness 🎉. As long as you are safe, you can find the radiance shining through the leaves, and this radiance can help small trees grow into big trees 🌳!

This trip with guide Oh Seok-bong was wonderful! He provided great travel tips, restaurant information, and even made lunch reservations, helping in every way to ensure we could focus on the trip. He was humorous and provided historical and social information about Kyoto and Nara, making the trip even more enriching. I had been hesitant, but it was a waste of time to worry. He even gave us restaurant information for our drop-off location to take care of dinner. While independent travel is good, it's also great to follow a well-planned schedule made by experts.

I recommend this trip for those with limited time during their Osaka visit. It’s a wonderful way to see three popular tourist spots in just one day. We started from Dotonburi at 8am and returned around 6:30pm. You’ll get about 2 hours to explore the Arashiyama area, 1 hour in Nara, and over an hour at Fushimi Inari Shrine. Just a heads-up: be punctual so you don’t miss the tour, which leaves without you if you're late. Be sure to plan your day wisely. We managed to squeeze in a quick lunch in Arashiyama since there wouldn’t be time to eat at the other spots.

Teddy took us all around Kyoto and was amazing as our tour guide. He sent us messages along the way and what to expect. This tour felt fast, but that was because we had 4 stops to go to in one day. Great if you’re in a time crunch and want to see all the spots. Not so much if you want to try everything like speedrun the 10823 gates. Maybe next time we’ll spend more time at the temple for hair and pray to the god that my husband doesn’t lose more of his hair.

Naomi was an amazing tour guide! Our experience was better because she gave us local recommendations, took some of our pictures and she’s very warm and welcoming, simply the best! The tour was really smooth, Amanohashidate is beautiful and Ine has a small town charm. I highly recommend this tour!
