Tekemistä paikassa osaka station

everything was very smooth. we availed the full rental of snowboard equiptments and unli lift. its very convenient to redeem.

This was a lovely half day trip to Nara. Our guide was very kind and knowledgable. He constantly checked in on us during the tour. Both the shinto and buddhist temples were beautiful. The giant buddha was a personal highlight. Beware of the deers. Yes, they are cute and polite. but they will hound you if you're holding deer snacks. So, emotionally prepare yourself. Our tour guide also shared a lot of the historical and cultural of Nara and Kyoto, which was very lovely. I highly recommend the tour if you want to see Nara.

It was our 12th day in Japan, and all the previous days had been exhausting. I had wanted to do this tour on my own, but the kids weren't keeping up as well anymore. I decided to book this tour a day in advance, and it was the best decision. We visited several places without getting too tired or worn out, and the kids happily continued. We wouldn't have been able to see so much on our own. Our guide and driver were very kind!

”Kiitos opas Tigerin erinomaisen johtajuuden ja huolellisen yksityiskohtiin paneutumisen, matka oli todella tyydyttävä. Pidin siitä, että hän puhui sujuvasti sekä englantia että kiinaa, ja hänen äänensä oli niin rauhallinen ja miellyttävä kuunnella. Jos matkustan uudelleen, haluaisin tehdä sen oppaan TIGerin kanssa vielä kerran. Kuljettaja ajoi myös erittäin turvallisesti ja vakaasti, ja sateesta huolimatta saimme matkan päätökseen turvallisesti. Jos noudatat opas TIGerin suosituksia, saat varmasti tyydyttävän matkan. Kiitos paljon ihanista muistoista.”

I really enjoyed this tour and workshop, especially because Yoshie was such a lovely guide! She was sweet, cheerful and approachable, making everything feel relaxed and fun. On the walk to the museum, she pointed out the mascot manhole covers, and throughout the museum she gave interesting explanations and kept great conversation. She was also fantastic during the Cup Noodle workshop, encouraging us to take our time and taking loads of photos for us. The tour lasted ≈1hr 40 and was definitely informative and enjoyable. My only criticism would be the price. I paid €137.25 for a small-group tour for two people, which felt a little expensive for what was included. The restaurant part was more like being dropped off near the station. I think having a little more guided time at the end would validate the price (2.5hr instead of 2hr) That said, I loved having someone else take care of the navigating ahah! Yoshie even helped us check restaurant availability and order before leaving.

Matkaa edeltävänä päivänä lähetetään sähköposti, jossa on kokoontumistiedot. Aamulla kokoonnutaan Nihonbashin uloskäynnin 2 luo, ja matkanjohtaja Momo odottaa turisteja kyltin kanssa. Ennen kohteeseen saapumista matkanjohtaja antaa selityksiä ja esittelyjä useilla kielillä. Amanohashidella (köysirata) hiekkasärkän ympäristössä kävelyvesi on hyvin kirkasta, rauhallista ja kaunista. Ine no Funaya (venekierros lokkien ja kotkien ruokintaan) on erityinen kokemus, joka sopii erinomaisesti sekä aikuisille että lapsille, mutta valitettavasti venetaloja voi katsella vain etäältä veneestä käsin. Miyama-cho Kayabuki no Sato on rauhallinen kylä, jossa ei ole oikeastaan muuta kuin paikallisen tunnelman ihailua. Tämän matkan ajomatka on melko pitkä, joten ohjelma on hieman tiivis, mutta matkan varrella voi levätä. Osana Osakan omatoimimatkaa päiväretken järjestäminen turistibussilla oli todella viisas päätös!

We didnt get to see the castle, due to me booking on a tuesday (perhaps worth mentioning on the booking), but visiting the two shrines and the Palace with KC was informative, as well as the drive around. His english was good, he was enthusiastic, and he used humour well throughout.

The tour was good overall, it saves you time because you get to see a lot in one day and not get tired by using public transport. The first temple is beautiful. Places are crowded, when you get to Nara in the afternoon there is no deer food left to buy… Could be nice to have some on the bus to sell.

Fun activity. Walked through all of the steps to create a meneki neko and the staff were very helpful, friendly and encouraging, and just generally very nice people. They waited for us outside of the building so we could easily find them and like the description says, it's about a minute outside the Shin-Osaka station. In addition to the maneko neko, we also got a Polaroid of us with our creations, a lucky charm, a clear file and they even shared a matcha with us.
