Kyoto Sea and Sky Secret Realm and Mountain Fairy Tale | Amanohashidate, Ine Funaya, Miyama Thatched Village Day Trip | Departing from Osaka

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.

I was rushing to plan a family trip and found a tour to a region I'd always wanted to visit, so I signed up, and it was fantastic! Before, when there weren't any tours, it was too time-consuming and expensive, so I couldn't even consider it. I'm glad we were able to go affordably. My parents were also completely satisfied with the trip. The scenery was truly beautiful, and we even got to feed Japanese shrimp crackers to seagulls from a cruise ship, but then eagles showed up, which was unique and wonderful. The itinerary was perfect for seeing Kyoto and then moving on to other places for those who wanted to. I was worried about these rare tours having many foreign participants, but our guide, Lee Song-ran, explained everything in Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. This was great because my parents, who don't speak foreign languages, were more interested in the places we visited thanks to the Korean explanations. I truly highly recommend it. Go on the tour!

A relaxing bus ride from Osaka. Very reasonably priced! Our guides didn't talk the whole time (one spoke Korean/Chinese, the other English/Japanese). They informed us when on our way to spots but otherwise kept a peaceful atmosphere. The time flew by despite leaving around 7:25a and getting back around 5:30p. Once we arrived it was self guided to wander with a set time to explore so spend your time wisely! Our guide Liu was organized, friendly and professional. Make sure you have WhatsApp/WeChat for contact, especially to recieve info about where you're going! He was on it, especially when he had to stop another passenger from getting on the wrong bus! Bravo! The weather was overcast and rainy at first but became nice later in the day. The boat houses were special! Amanohashidate was beautiful, but View Land was closed so no attractions were open except for the cable car (plus side was it wasn't swarming with children). The thatched roofed village felt like stepping into history.

This is my third time using Gogoday service for my groups, and every time the guides have been very helpful. They shared a lot of useful information, and we really enjoyed the trips. We especially enjoyed visiting Amanohashidate, Ine, and all the beautiful places they brought us to. This time, I booked again with an additional trip to Kayabuki no Sato, and it was another wonderful experience. The customer service is also very kind and responsive. I am very satisfied with their service, and for sure, I will book with Gogoday again next time. Highly recommended!

Tour guide Hu has a deep knowledge of Japanese culture and shared many historical stories about Japan. He was also very diligent in explaining the routes and offering suggestions for each attraction. Due to the long distances and time constraints for transportation, we generally didn't have enough time to take photos, browse, or shop properly. Furthermore, the platform did not inform us in advance that the single-person chairlift at Amanohashidate was undergoing annual maintenance; we only learned about this from Tour Guide Hu on the bus. We are very dissatisfied that the platform did not inform visitors beforehand, especially since some people might have specifically wanted to experience it. However, we are grateful to Tour Guide Hu for arranging for us to take the cabin lift instead. Overall, considering the tour fee, the day felt less cost-effective as we were constantly rushing, but we were fortunate to have good weather.

I absolutely enjoyed the whole trip. All the places we went to were beautiful and I took many photos during this tour. Mr Liu l, our tour guide was the best. He explained everything clearly. I also liked how Mr Liu constitently communicated with me through whatsapp to update on many details, location, schedule and etc. Overall this trip is totally worth it. Will book again next time. Thank You!

I had the pleasure of meeting Jay as my tour guide for my family on this trip. Overall, it was a very worthwhile trip and value for the money. The itinerary was very compact but neatly scheduled to make sure that everything was executed perfectly thanks to Jay. Will definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a simple day tour to fill their schedules. The only unfortunate thing was that this trip would’ve become more beautiful in the winter (and colder haha)

worth the visit. i wish we could have more time, nonetheless we were able to capture good memories and nice pictures. these places are far from each other and not very accessible for public transport.

The tour was very fun and enjoyable. The places are really scenic and worth seeing. Because the attractions are mostly open spaces, it didn’t feel very crowded even though multiple tour groups visit the place together. I would probably walk around Ine Funaya rather than take the boat if ever I go the next time. The boat was nice because you could take great photos of the houses but it felt like you couldn’t really immerse yourself in the surrounding. If there was a point of improvement, I feel like the guide could have been a bit more accommodating. It felt like he was very preoccupied with the time more than ensuring the guests enjoyed their trip. Since the tour group was quite big, it would have helped if he could maybe explain the history or give instructions by batch especially for thos who fall behind. It was slightly irritating especially in Amanohashidate when we would get reminders of the time every 30-45mins. That said, the tour had to visit so many places in a limited time.

We really enjoyed the tour—the place was beautiful. We just didn’t expect the heavy snow, but we were still very happy. Our English/Chinese tour guide and driver were extremely kind and very accommodating. I highly recommend this tour—100% super satisfied!🥰❤️
