Nara Prefecture Day trips

My partner and I took a tour to Nara and Tokyo with Cici! she was very informative and I really enjoyed the history and information she shared on the way to our locations, we felt like it added more meaning to our experiences at each place. the convenience of having a bus take you to these very touristy locations was extremely nice as we got to have a taste of each location without the added haste of transportation. Cici was very good with instructions and making sure everything was clear and promptly on time- which I love! She was funny, organized and caring which made our experience great. Thank you so much!!

Booked this Nara‑Arashiyama day‑trip via Klook. Wonderful group tour. Well‑planned stops. Special thanks to guide Jason, friendly and punctual. Ancient‑town view is breathtaking. Highly recommend for relaxed travel.

This Klook tour was absolutely worth it! Our guide, Liu Shuai, started by explaining the day's itinerary in a friendly and clear manner, setting a perfect pace that was neither rushed nor too relaxed. At each attraction, he would first explain the background story and key things to look out for, allowing us to truly understand the unique characteristics of each place, rather than just taking photos. Along the way, he would also provide timely reminders about traffic flow, time management, and important notes. He even quickly adjusted the plan when the weather changed, ensuring everyone could complete the tour smoothly. Liu Shuai was incredibly patient, answered all our questions in detail, and shared local tips that helped us explore more deeply and conveniently. Overall, the tour was rich in content, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very warm. From start to finish, we felt the professionalism and dedication. If I have the chance again, I will definitely recommend this to my friends!

Our guide Yujin was great! Insightful and entertaining throughout the whole day. He gave great tips on how to get the most out of each location. The bus was clean and comfortable and the itinerary was well thought and timed. We had ample time at each location. A great way to see numerous sights if you are short on time or need help getting around. We left from across the road from Kyoto Station, so the pick up is really easy to find. One of the best tours I’ve been on so far!

Excellent 1 day trip to Kumano Kodo. Great way to experience from Osaka on a 13 hour trip, out of which there is 8 hours of driving from and back Osaka. No problem at all as the driving was safe and comfortable. The trip is fulfilling and well planned with sufficient time to visit but don't take your own sweet time taking photos. Yan Lei is an excellent guide and a great driver. Good communication on timing and plans. Made it back on time to Osaka despite it being the Mountain day and Obon week. Highly recommended. Good for solo, couples and family. Suitable for all with a wide coverage of languages.

The tour was convenient because transportation and the itinerary were already organized for us. We were able to see many places without worrying about navigating trains and buses ourselves. The only downside was that the schedule felt a little rushed, so I would have loved more time at each location.

great tour, plenty of time, jack was most helpful!. adventure park had popular rides closed and was definitely dedicated to younger children under 10

Here's an honest and straightforward review of three major attractions in Shiga Prefecture: Shirahige Shrine, Biwako Terrace, and La Collina Omihachiman. 1. Shirahige Shrine Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I left feeling a bit disappointed. The torii gate in the water is located across the road, making it dangerous to cross and difficult to appreciate properly from a distance. The shrine itself doesn't offer much to see, so it's best suited as a quick stop. 2. Biwako Terrace This was definitely the highlight of my trip. The panoramic view of Lake Biwa from the terrace cafe was truly spectacular, and I was most satisfied with being able to relax amidst the expansive scenery. 3. La Collina Omihachiman It was so crowded that it was hard to leisurely soak in the unique atmosphere. The signature dessert, the confectionery, also tends to be a hit or miss in terms of taste. However, the grass-roofed buildings and the garden views were beautiful, making it an excellent spot for taking photos.

Absolutely loved this tour! Such a fun and well-organised day exploring Nara, Uji and Kyoto. Our guide, Lee, was friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience so enjoyable. We saw beautiful places, ate great food and made amazing memories. Highly recommend this tour—definitely worth it! 🇯🇵✨
