Things to do in Mino

It was our 12th day in Japan, and all the previous days had been exhausting. I had wanted to do this tour on my own, but the kids weren't keeping up as well anymore. I decided to book this tour a day in advance, and it was the best decision. We visited several places without getting too tired or worn out, and the kids happily continued. We wouldn't have been able to see so much on our own. Our guide and driver were very kind!

The tour was well worth the money, and our guide, Gary, was very professional. When I visited Osaka last winter, I booked a one-day tour through Klook, and the guide contacted me via WhatsApp beforehand. This time, no one contacted me in advance, which made me quite anxious. However, everything started very smoothly once we arrived at the designated time and meeting point. My husband, children, and I had a wonderful trip, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and had a great time tasting green tea. I highly recommend booking this tour if it's your first time visiting the places on the itinerary, as it takes care of your meals and transportation.

Huahua was the absolute best tour guide! After two other tours had canceled on us because of the typhoon we were lucky to have been able to book this tour. It was actually a blessing because this was one of the best tours we’ve been on! HuaHua was an excellent tour guide and made sure we knew details and history about every stop we made. He even let us to know where we could get the best matcha in Uji! The tour included Uji , Byodo , Kiffune Shrine , and Katsuo-ji Temple. We were able to go to every stop with an ample amount of time to roam around and shop! Thank you to HuaHua and his beautiful singing voice for giving us the best tour in Osaka!

our tour guide CC was superb! I was the only english speaking participant in our group, the rest were Chinese and she never made me feel left out. she would give a history and some quick guides to the group first and then would check with me after separately! it was rainy on that day but still managed to go through the itinerary. we had enough time to go around each place and the pickup and drop off place is very convenient especially if you are staying at the dotonbori area. would recommend especially for solo travellers to save time getting lost and to know a bit of history to the places as well :)

Before the activity, I suddenly realized I had left my phone in the taxi. The driver quickly asked a senior tour guide near the meeting point to help communicate and resolve the issue, and I successfully got my lost phone back. The one-day tour experience was great; it was arranged with a small van, so there weren't many people, and we gathered quickly. There was ample time at each attraction to explore and take photos.

We had a great time! One of the highlights of this trip was collecting the 6 stamps in Katsuoji… such a fun and memorable experience! 😍 Abigail is a great tour guide… very approachable, knowledgeable, and accommodating. She made sure we were well-informed throughout the trip and really took care of everyone. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Overall, it was a wonderful experience! ✨

A winding road up the hill from minoh-kayano station brings u to the temple…after passing the check point, u step into a different world. U find small daruma dolls anywhere and everywhere…literally and still the temple looks organised….we did the daruma doll offering prayer and it felt peaceful. There was a slight drizzle and it brought out the beauty of temple even more. A must visit place if ur staying in Osaka or Kyoto….arigato gozaimasu

fantastic package and good value for money. walked straight pass all those queuing to get ticket. that was a very long queue that I skipped using the QR ticket. definitely a must!

7/10/26 Luka was our driver very nice and prompt with keeping us inform with a picture of his vehicle that we should be looking out for our tour, our itinerary and time frame of exploring these areas. He even picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel which is roughly a 15-20 mins walking distance from the original free pickup location. There were 4 of us from my party, a total of 6 in a passenger van. This service is very convenient since I didn’t want to risk getting lost by taking a train, a buss ride with walking to each location. Totally recommend .
