The meeting place was easy to find, and visiting northern Kyoto for this price is the best value for money. The friendly and knowledgeable guide provided a constant stream of useful information. They were also thoughtful enough to take pictures at the tourist spots. I'm glad I chose this product. I would recommend it to my friends if they go to Osaka. Best value for money.

I applied for the tour with my family of three, including an elementary school-aged daughter, and I'm very satisfied. The bus is comfortable. The explanations in between were informative and fun. I'm thinking of using it again if I have the chance. Thank you to guide Sosang for making the tour safe and fun.

Smooth and hassle-free ride to USJ! Booked the Dotonbori to Universal Studios Japan bus via Klook and it was super convenient! The pick-up point was easy to find near Dotonbori, and the staff were organized and helpful. The bus was clean, air-conditioned, and right on time — no need to worry about train transfers or crowded subways early in the morning. The ride was comfortable and quick, taking us straight to the entrance of USJ in about 30 minutes. Perfect for travelers who want a stress-free start to their day at the park! I also loved how affordable and punctual it was — definitely worth it. Highly recommend booking this bus on Klook if you’re staying around Namba or Dotonbori. Great option for families, groups, or anyone who wants a direct and easy trip to Universal Studios Japan. 🎢🚌✨ #KlookTravel #USJ #Osaka #UniversalStudiosJapan #DotonboriToUSJ

Great experience! Thanks Ray for a great evening. Fantastic way to see the area and get our bearings. I was so nervous but instructions were clear and concise - we had a ball! So much fun! Hardest part was smiling for photos 🤣😂

Having this rail pass makes it so easy to get around, and the exchange is simple too. Being able to ride on reserved seats an unlimited number of times is especially great, I highly recommend it!

Fantastic day! It was so good, we made noodles from scratch and 3 different types of ramen with toppings. My only tip/advise would be to make notes as you go along as the recipe sheet given does not miss some key bits of advise. would be great to have them on the sheet. You are trying to listen and do at the same time so it can be hard to take it all in and remember! Very worth it though and a great experience!

Guide Jeon Hyun-woo is the best!!! He kept talking to us in the car and it was so much fun. I want to use the service again next time. I'm satisfied with everything except for the cold weather.

Exchanging your pass and reserving seats at the JR Ticket Office in Kansai Airport is very convenient. It allows you to travel smoothly throughout the Kansai, Osaka, Kyoto, and Hokuriku areas. Riding the Thunderbird, Hokuriku Shinkansen, etc., also saves time, making it easy to reserve more time to visit various places!!!
