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

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!

this day trip was AMAZING! I highly recommend booking if you are looking to get out of Osaka for a day and see the beautiful country side & seaside in Japan! I didn’t realise Japan had such a different side to it - a nice contrast from the bustling city! I think the 2nd stop in the Ine fishing town could have been removed to save some time - we stopped in one part for the boat tour and another part for 15-20 mins which was only enough time to use the bathroom and come back. the day trip went from 7:10am - 6:50pm. a very long day but everything we saw was AMAZING! I would have loved a little more history from our guide. but despite that, it was amazing exploring!

Kyoto’s Seaside Wonders was a fantastic escape from the city and a great way to experience a different side of Kyoto Prefecture. The coastal scenery was stunning, with beautiful ocean views, charming fishing villages, and unique attractions along the way. Amanohashidate was especially memorable, offering breathtaking landscapes and excellent photo opportunities. The tour was well organized, transportation was comfortable, and there was plenty of time to explore each stop. Highly recommended for nature lovers and anyone looking to discover Kyoto’s hidden coastal gems.

loved this tour, a totally different side of kyoto. would love more time here in future - beautiful 😍 the sweet potato donuts from the store were the bus stops at Miyama are delicious!

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.

The trip on February 15, 2026, was also fantastic. The GoGoDay tour guide and driver were truly top-notch. This time, the tour guide, Zhao Ziyang YANG, provided explanations in fluent English and Chinese, detailing every attraction very clearly and wonderfully. He took us on a sightseeing boat to feed seagulls + Amanohashidate cable car ride, etc., and was very professional and competent. The driver, Mr. Miyazawa, was also as steady as a mountain with his first-rate driving skills. The several-hour-long journey was truly hard work. Thank you to both of you for giving us such a warm, safe, and wonderful day trip to the scenic spots!

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.

it was a great trip and experience. booking was easy and Liu San was easy to catch. He waited early at the waiting area and he organized everything well. Bus was comfortable as it is a big bus. We arrived at the destination st the stipulated time. The boat trip was fun as there are a lot of seagulls waiting for you even before you board the boat. The entrance ticket was included with a pack of shrimp bait. You can use it to feed the seagulls or eat it by yourself. 2nd stop is the amanohashidate which include the chair lift to go up to panaroma platform. We stop about 2hours there. Enough to take pictures and walk around with takeway street food. 3rd is to the miyama village. mus try the ice cream and milk. it was good.
