The tour was conducted in Chinese, which I didn’t know beforehand, haha! So I couldn’t really understand any of the explanations since everything was in Chinese. Other than that, I’m still glad I joined this tour because visiting these three destinations on my own would have been quite difficult. Overall, it was a convenient way to see all three places in one day!

Great trip to see Himeji and the temple which we would otherwise not have been able to do on own, be prepared for a few long bus trips as these areas are not close by but worth it to see the views of country side. Had some real nice Kobe beef stew at Umie stop over in Kobe, enjoyed the Himeji Castle inside and Katsuoji stamp was fun to do.

Thank you to our guide, Joe! Awaji Island was beautiful and we got to enjoy Kyoho grapes 🍇 I really liked this tour and encourage others to try it if they can.

I genuinely did not expect to enjoy this tour so much! Massive kudos to Harid for all his effort in ensuring that we get to make the most out of his tour. He’s very, very smart and he shared so much information about Himeji Castle which made me feel like I was at a live show in the History Channel. Please make sure to include this on your itinerary!

The experience was wonderful, and the schedule was well-organized. The vegetarian set meal at Jojak-in Temple was delicious, but please note that if you want to try it, you should go as early as possible; otherwise, you might not have time to eat due to long lines. If you choose to dine at this attraction, the time left for sightseeing becomes very tight, so if you want to thoroughly explore, you have to skip the meal—you can't have your cake and eat it too. However, the food is also delicious, making it an integral part of the experience, so you can weigh your options. Since it was peak maple leaf season, there were quite a few people even on a weekday. The scenery was stunning, the lighting was perfect for photography, and our driver-guide was polite, courteous, and provided thorough service and introductions. It is quite cold on the mountain, so be sure to bring a warm jacket, especially around Okoin, where the temperature difference compared to the city center is significant.

I think this is my first time leaving a review while using Klook. I am Korean and traveled alone. Overall, I am 100% satisfied. Although I rode with foreign tourists, there were a few other Koreans including myself, and it was so great that our guide, Lee Song-ran, explained everything in Korean. When I visited Amanohashidate back in May, it was during Golden Week, so I couldn't ride the lift ㅠㅠ I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to ride it this time either, but I was so happy it was easy to do so!! The water was so clean, and it was a feast for the eyes. Visiting the thatched-roof rural village early in the morning was great for a stroll. I tried the sweet potato donut that was recommended—it was hot and made a great, light breakfast. Going to Ine Funaya to watch the gulls and taking a walk in the tranquil countryside village was the best part of all. Also, the bus driver drove in a way that really relieved any frustration; his driving was simply the best!!! It was also nice that the guide took pictures for everyone on the bus tour whenever we arrived at a nice spot. If I visit again, I will definitely use Gogo Tour❤️

The Kobe Romantic Night View Tour was amazing! We stayed in Osaka and made short trips to both Kyoto and Nara, but my personal favorite was Kobe! 👍 We took this tour with my third-grade son and my mom, who is almost in her 70s. Despite the tight schedule, it was an itinerary that satisfied every member of the family. First, if you go to Kobe Kitano Ijinkan, definitely try the soft-serve ice cream recommended by the tour guide! It was rich and creamy in milk flavor, making it feel like all our travel fatigue was melting away. Second, my child absolutely loved the killer whale and dolphin shows at Suma Sea World! The shows blended so well with the outdoor sunset background that my mom and I also had a wonderful time. You get drenched as if you took a shower if you sit in the front rows, but for those with kids who love killer whales or dolphins, I think you can create special memories by bringing raincoats and sitting up front! Also, even though it is an aquarium, the outdoor sunset view is so stunning that I think even adults traveling alone could fully enjoy the romantic atmosphere. Highly recommended for couples, too! Third, Harborland was my personal favorite spot. The night view was truly breathtaking, and the shopping mall along the ocean was so pretty. It is a place where I would have loved to spend plenty of leisure time enjoying both shopping and the romantic vibe! 🥹 For the final stop, the view from Mount Rokko is fantastic. We were told it is one of Japan's top three night views, and it is truly breathtaking. It gets a bit chilly, so make sure to bring a light jacket! Among the people on our tour, there were many family groups like us, as well as couples. That is how well-designed the itinerary is, allowing you to truly experience Kobe in a short amount of time. Thank you so much to our guide, Park Ae-soon, for leading the tour so well and taking beautiful photos at every spot. You even told us about a great pudding spot in Osaka, which made us happy right up to the end of our trip! 🫶 If I go to Osaka again next time, I would definitely want to book the Kobe tour. Preferably on my own 😎 (Highly recommended for solo travelers, too)
