Highly recommended! The activities were very interesting, enjoying the train journey, visiting Amanohashidate and Ine Funaya. Our guide was also very helpful and friendly. The transportation vehicles were clean and comfortable. The driver also drove well throughout the trip. The price was appropriate. However, the itinerary felt a bit short because we had to allocate time for queuing at restaurants during lunch.

We participated in a day tour on February 28th. The tour experience was very enjoyable! Our guide, Mia, arrived early at the meeting point to confirm the number of participants and arrange bus seating. She was friendly, always smiling, and very energetic, providing commentary in both Chinese and English throughout the trip, which felt very professional and thoughtful. We are a family of four with two children, and this itinerary is truly suitable for family travel. The overall arrangement was very convenient. Traveling by tour bus was easy and hassle-free, eliminating the need to plan our own transportation. The itinerary also included pre-arranged boat and cable car tickets, making the entire journey smoother. The cable car experience was great, with beautiful scenery, and the children were very excited. Additionally, the seagull feeding activity was very interesting and a memorable experience. Although the weather wasn't ideal that day, with a bit of drizzle, we still had a lot of fun on the overall trip. We highly recommend this tour and are very grateful for our guide Mia's dedicated leadership!

We departed Kyoto at 9:00 AM, which wasn't too early. The management system was excellent, and all trip members were punctual, making the trip very smooth. Our first stop was Ine, where we had 90 minutes to explore. The coffee shops were crowded, so we didn't get a chance to sit down, and our time was up just from walking around. The second stop was a fun boat ride to feed the birds, which wasn't too long. The third stop was Amanohashidate, where we had 120 minutes. The atmosphere was wonderful, but unfortunately, we didn't get to explore everything, including the pine garden, because we ran out of time. Lunch alone took half an hour (you can find lunch spots here). I wished we could have stayed longer. Our guide was polite and managed the time well. It was enjoyable, and I'd love to go again. It was well worth it. We arrived back in Kyoto before 6:00 PM (there was no traffic, even though it was a Sunday).

Our leader, Lee, was incredibly thoughtful. He sent a WhatsApp message to communicate with us a day in advance, and throughout the trip, he kept us informed about dining locations and the itinerary. He also took many beautiful photos for us and even told us jokes. Although it was just a short one-day trip, we made many wonderful memories!

Today's trip was very enjoyable, and our tour guide, Huahua, provided excellent service. She was friendly and proactive in taking photos for us. We were also grateful for the wonderful weather today. Many thanks to Huahua for singing to entertain the group. This trip was truly perfect. If anyone has the chance to travel to Japan, I would highly recommend this itinerary.
