Great trip to see Himeji and the temple which we would otherwise not have been able to do on own, be prepared for a few long bus trips as these areas are not close by but worth it to see the views of country side. Had some real nice Kobe beef stew at Umie stop over in Kobe, enjoyed the Himeji Castle inside and Katsuoji stamp was fun to do.

Yesterday I joined the tour to Himeji Castle, Kobe Harbor, and Katsuo-ji Temple. The overall arrangement was very smooth. Climbing all the way up the seven levels of Himeji Castle was a bit tiring, but being able to enjoy the scenery from different angles both inside and outside the castle made it totally worth it! Afterward, we went to Kobe Harbor for a meal and some shopping, and finally visited Katsuo-ji Temple to see the sea of cute Daruma dolls. The itinerary was rich yet not too rushed.
I also want to thank the tour guide for all the guidance and care along the way. The explanations were clear, and the itinerary was arranged with great care. The driver was also very smooth, allowing us to relax and enjoy the scenery throughout the entire trip. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and I highly recommend this tour! 😊

It's very convenient to get there directly, no need to think too much. The itinerary allows for plenty of time. Also, Himeji Castle has seven floors, so be mindful of your physical stamina.

The itinerary is pretty good, as these attractions aren't very convenient to reach by public transportation on your own. The only downside is that you might feel like you're spending the whole day in the car.

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.

Thank you, tour guide Kelly! We really appreciate her detailed explanations and how well she looked after all the tour members. Today's day trip was very relaxing, and the schedule was managed wonderfully. We hope to have Kelly as our guide again on our next day trip in Osaka~~
