Hyogo Tours

Many thanks to team leader Xiaohua! This was my first time on this tour, and I truly felt the dedication of both the leader and the travel agency. It was incredibly thoughtful and offered amazing value for money! I highly recommend it, especially for travelers who enjoy independent exploration but prefer not to drive. The tour covers three scenic locations without any forced sales pitches. Walking across the Iya Vine Bridge felt like a reminder to slow down, and the nearby waterfall was a truly refreshing experience. The grilled sweetfish and grilled mochi that the team leader privately recommended were also definitely worth trying—I personally thought they were delicious! The boat ride at Oboke Gorge was very comfortable; the boat was stable, and admiring the beauty of the canyon helped me escape the hustle and bustle and clear my mind. For the final attraction, the timing for the Naruto Whirlpools was perfect. Of course, I paid extra to witness the beauty of one of the world's three great whirlpools. The boat ride was very safe, and it brought a beautiful end to this trip (I recommend checking the tide times for the Naruto Whirlpools online beforehand). Thanks again to the team leader and driver! I will definitely join again next time!

Nick was a fantastic guide, friendly, knwliedgable and attentive. he totally made the day trip to Hemji Castle and Arima onsen a fun and enjoyable one. Kudos to Nick San 🫶🏽The tour itself was well organised. the bus was comfy and the driver was professional and drove very safely. we spent the morning and lunch at the castle which was just perfect. and the onsen was also lovely. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 🫰🏽

Shunnavi was a patient and friendly guide, with plenty of experience. He was punctual and had great knowledge of Koyasan. He also recommended lunch for us which was a great recommendation. He even bought snacks for us.hope can join his tour next trip.

Our guide and driver, Saifu, was very thoughtful, sending a video of the meeting point to our group, and drove smoothly throughout the trip. When we arrived at Mount Rokko to see the night view, it was still a bit bright at 7:30 PM, and it looked like it was almost time to gather and head back. Saifu, not wanting to disappoint us, announced a 20-minute extension, which allowed us to enjoy the legendary million-dollar night view. We are very grateful! Regarding the itinerary, we suggest shortening the time at Kobe Port and extending the visiting time at Kitano Ijinkan so that travelers have more time to explore.

We love the tour so much and had a very excited experience in this trip. Just that the time for each stops is too short, but overall still acceptable. Our guide, Yuki is very talented with multilingual in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English, friendly to answer all our questions patiently. We really enjoyed for this day trip.

This was my first time on a leisure tour like this. We didn't have to walk much, just eat and eat! There were also many stylish little shops to browse. 😁 Thanks to Tour Guide Lai for leading us; the whole trip was very enjoyable and straightforward, with no hidden agendas. Tour Guide Lai gave us a lot of practical advice. Thank you!

recommended. convenient. these places are far apart. using their service really ease the trouble about public transport

We went on February 8th, two families in one minibus. It happened to be snowing that day, and we saw Himeji Castle in the snow, so beautiful! After arriving at Arima Onsen, the snow gradually got heavier, and some roads were closed. We couldn't go up Mount Rokko, but the driver cooperated with our schedule and departed earlier to return to the city, avoiding being stranded on the mountain.

wonderful tour, enjoyed the walk around ikeda where the cup noodle museum is located, Arima town is beautiful , must wear sneakers for the long walk. Enjoyed all the activities, thanks to Junyoung our guide who snapped amazing photos for the group
