Tennivalók itt: Kumano Kodo

Excellent 1 day trip to Kumano Kodo. Great way to experience from Osaka on a 13 hour trip, out of which there is 8 hours of driving from and back Osaka. No problem at all as the driving was safe and comfortable. The trip is fulfilling and well planned with sufficient time to visit but don't take your own sweet time taking photos. Yan Lei is an excellent guide and a great driver. Good communication on timing and plans. Made it back on time to Osaka despite it being the Mountain day and Obon week. Highly recommended. Good for solo, couples and family. Suitable for all with a wide coverage of languages.

Az ár csak a szállítást tartalmazza, gyakorlatilag önállóan bejárható. Én voltam az egyetlen angolul beszélő személy a túrán, de az idegenvezető mindent megtett, hogy megértsem. Nagyon kedves és segítőkész volt. Összességében egy nagyon festői túra, gyönyörű természeti látnivalók, csodálatos tengerpartok, és a pagoda is remekül illeszkedik a tájba. A vízesés lélegzetelállítóan gyönyörű.

I highly recommend this trip for anyone who wants to experience the Kumano Kodo trail without getting too tired. This itinerary allows you to experience the essential routes, offering a rich blend of mountain and ocean views. The Kamesei Hotel, recommended by the travel agency, boasts incredible ocean views. I hadn't booked breakfast at the hotel, and our tour leader, Mr. Yan, even called the hotel on my behalf, which I greatly appreciate!

This Kumano Kodo day trip was a perfect experience, and I must highly recommend our guide, Yan! The guide is Chinese, so there was absolutely no language barrier throughout the entire trip. They served as both driver and guide, meticulously arranging everything, making the trip incredibly hassle-free. Before arriving at each attraction, the guide would provide detailed explanations of its history and key highlights. They thoughtfully advised us on how to best experience each site, what specific sights to focus on, and clearly communicated the duration of free time and the meeting time for our return. This meant we didn't have to worry about planning ourselves, and the pace of the trip was just right. The entire itinerary, from the service area, Kumano Hongu Taisha, Otorii, and collecting stamps at Oyu no Hara, to Nachi Taisha, Seiganto-ji Temple, Hiro Shrine, Daimonzaka, and Hayatama Taisha, concluding with a visit to the Totsukawa Onsen footbath, featured detailed and easy-to-understand explanations at every stop. The guide eloquently shared the cultural stories behind the Kumano Sanzan, allowing us to grasp the profound heritage behind these World Heritage sites, even without prior research. The guide's service attitude was gentle and attentive, and their driving was smooth and safe. They never took detours or rushed the itinerary. There was no pressure throughout the trip, allowing ample time for photos, leisurely strolls, and worship. At the end, there was even plenty of time to soak our feet in the footbath to relieve travel fatigue. I was initially concerned about the inconveniences of traveling alone in a foreign country, but thankfully, this Chinese-speaking guide provided meticulous care throughout the journey. The itinerary was both enriching and relaxed, allowing for a deep appreciation of the sacred Kumano landscape. The overall value for money was excellent. For anyone planning a day trip to Kumano, I strongly recommend Guide Yan!

Csodálatosan éreztem magam a vezetőmmel, Kimivel! Kimi rendkívül tájékozott és kedves volt a túra során, és nagyon jól kommunikált velem és a barátommal (kettesben voltunk egy privát túrán). Nagyon keveset tudtunk a kulturális jelentőségről, azon kívül, amit online olvastunk, de a túra végére teljesen új módon értékeltük a Nachisan területet. Alulbecsülöm, mennyire élveztem ezt a túrát, és mindenkinek erősen ajánlom, hogy foglalja le ezt a túrát, ha a Nachi-vízesést látogatja meg! A csodálatos vezetőn kívül a túraszervező cég is nagyon segítőkész volt, e-mailben tájékoztatott arról, hogy kivel vegyük fel a kapcsolatot és hol találkozzunk, így nagyon könnyű volt megtalálni a vezetőnket aznap.

As soon as we boarded the bus, the drivers (two of them, indicating great attention to passenger safety) gave us a very nice pen. Our guide, Saki, was very kind to us, even taking photos for us, and she took special care of us because we were the only non-Japanese participants on the tour. The stops during the trip were well-timed, and we were offered a very generous and delicious bento box. The tour was very successful, with more than adequate visiting times, and during one of these stops, we were offered tea and mochi at a local shop. Highly recommended for a break from the chaos of Osaka and to immerse yourself in a magical world.
