we had Laura as our tour guide today and had the most amazing experience. to start off the tour she was extremely organized, communicative and informative. she sent an itinerary the night before with instructions and photos of how to meet her at the location. she explained fun facts on the bus when we were there and was very friendly when we saw her during our time to explore the towns. apart from our wonderful guide, the tour itself is remarkable and really beautiful. the fishing village really takes your breath away. the boat tour was really fanatastic and we got to see the birds up close while they were flying. this is a must book tour while you are in Kyoto or Osaka! even better if you get Laura as your guide :)

Excellent tour to Amanohashidate and Ine Funaya with Mr. Yu Qi Hang! The trip ran smoothly and completely on time. Mr. Yu was very informative, humble, and explained the itinerary so well that we never felt confused. He was always happy to answer our questions. It was a wonderful experience overall!

The tour guide spoke very gently and patiently, and was also very dedicated to resolving any issues we had. The only minor drawback was that the itinerary was a bit tight. We happened to go on a weekend, plus it was a special holiday in Japan, so there were huge crowds and long queues for everything. This meant we didn't have enough time to eat proper meals and had to grab quick snacks, which felt a bit rushed. However, the sea and Amanohashidate were truly beautiful. The final seagull feeding part was a little disappointing; the lower deck of the boat was already full, so we had to go to the upper deck and stand in the sun to feed the seagulls. But there seemed to be very few seagulls, and we ended up eating most of the shrimp crackers ourselves. We were lucky if we fed even one. I'm not sure if it was because there were so many people that the seagulls were already full. For this kind of trip, it would definitely be better to go on a weekday next time to avoid the crowds and long waits for everything.🥺🥺

We participated in the Ine Funaya and Amanohashidate day tour, and we were extremely satisfied with the overall itinerary! ✨
In the morning, we went to Ine Funaya to take a boat and feed the seagulls. The scenery along the way was very beautiful, and having the seagulls fly alongside the boat was truly entertaining 🪽💕 In the afternoon, we headed to Amanohashidate and took the scenic coastal train to enjoy the views. The itinerary was arranged very smoothly, and we got to see all the highlights without feeling too rushed.
I especially want to praise our tour guide, Mr. Liao! 👏
Guide Liao was very friendly and patient the whole way, explaining things clearly without constantly rushing everyone. His introductions to the scenic spots were also very lively, and he helped resolve any issues we encountered, making us three sisters feel very at ease on our first visit here.
The atmosphere throughout the entire day was very relaxed and pleasant, and the timing was managed just right. There was adequate time to rest when needed, without the pressure of constantly rushing through the itinerary.
We were so lucky to have such a great tour guide, which made this trip to Ine and Amanohashidate leave wonderful memories ❤️
If we have the opportunity to visit Kansai again in the future, we would gladly join a similar day tour again! 🌊🛳️✨

A very beautiful place (Amanohashidate and Ine boat houses), with plenty of time for the itinerary. The chairlift experience at Amanohashidate was truly rare and special. Unfortunately, due to high winds and rough seas that day, the boat tour was canceled. The return bus ride was nearly 4 hours long. Our tour guide, Xiao Fu, gave up his regular seat and sat on a small auxiliary jump seat for the entire journey back; this thoughtful gesture deeply showed his care for the tour members.
The first stop of the itinerary was riding the coastal train. A middle-aged tour guide with a backpack from another group of your company cut the line, leaving the elderly and young children in our group without seats. More than once, that middle-aged male guide from the other tour walked over to our guide and spoke rudely to him, displaying an arrogant and haughty attitude. I witnessed all of this.
We kindly request management to address the middle-aged male tour guide who cut the line on the platform and was rude at JR Nishi-Maizuru Station on the morning of October 29th. Right outside the Amanohashidate cable car station, he once again provoked our guide, Xiao Fu, with rude and insulting remarks! As a tour participant, I was truly shocked to witness these two poor behaviors! With a middle-aged tour guide of such poor character, I am just thankful I was not in the group he was leading.

I joined this tour because I wanted to visit Kono Shrine. Although I was the only Japanese person on the tour, our guide, Huang Wenling, was incredibly attentive, making it a very memorable and comfortable day. After a tiring walk in Miyama Kayabuki no Sato, Huang Wenling even bought me a donut, which I was able to enjoy leisurely on the bus. I'm sure that will also be a lasting memory. I highly recommend this tour as it caters to a variety of people.

Many thanks to our Easy Go tour leader, Huahua, for her professional, enthusiastic, and meticulous full-全程 guided tour and explanations. She shared insights into the unique cuisine and local customs of each attraction. Most of all, we are grateful that Huahua patiently took turns helping everyone capture classic beautiful photos at each scenic spot. During our breaks, she serenaded us with beautiful songs and shared humorous travel anecdotes, ensuring that our hot day out was filled with continuous joy. Finally, we thank our angelic tour leader, Huahua, for guiding us through mountains and seas to explore the beautiful scenery of Ine Bay and Amanohashidate. The boat ride to feed the seagulls and the personal chairlift up and down the mountain were particularly rare and enjoyable experiences. Ending our day by stepping into the beautiful, fairytale-like Miyama thatched village left us with deep and wonderful memories of today's journey.❤️❤️❤️
