Hyogo Turer

The tour was conducted in Chinese, which I didn’t know beforehand, haha! So I couldn’t really understand any of the explanations since everything was in Chinese. Other than that, I’m still glad I joined this tour because visiting these three destinations on my own would have been quite difficult. Overall, it was a convenient way to see all three places in one day!

Dette var virkelig en fantastisk opplevelse, og jeg må absolutt anbefale den dedikerte guiden Nick. Han var vennlig, hadde med seg en bok med bilder, og ga en levende og humoristisk forklaring som gjorde hele turen rik og variert! Himeji slott i august kan bare beskrives som ekstremt varmt, og Nick hadde omtenksomt forberedt salte drops for å forhindre heteslag. Han tok oss med på en omvisning for å utforske Himeji slottets sjarmerende skjønnhet, og vi lærte så mye! Ved hvert sted glemte han ikke å fortelle oss om lokale særegenheter og anbefale lokale spesialiteter. På bare én dag fikk jeg en dypere forståelse og en mer varig forestilling om Osaka og Kobe! Jeg ser frem til neste mulighet til å bli med på en så flott tur, alle bør støtte Nick! ^^

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!

This is a great trip for the last few days of a vacation, perfect for winding down, haha. It's very beautiful and the itinerary is relaxed. The flower corridor is wonderful and cool, and the waffles and grapes are delicious. The view was excellent on the day we went. The guide is a very diligent and responsible person, and I enjoyed the little stories he shared. Since I was traveling alone, the guide, Hua Hua, also helped me take photos, which I really appreciated. Overall, I think it was a fantastic trip.

Dette er den perfekte reiseruten for oss fordi den starter klokka 11, slik at vi slipper å våkne altfor tidlig. Den gir oss også mulighet til å utforske stedene på egen hånd med god tid uten å føle oss stressede. Cave var en utmerket guide! Vi var de eneste engelsktalende turistene i gruppen, men han sørget for at vi fikk vite alt vi trengte, selv om han måtte gjenta alt han sa fra mandarin til engelsk.

Før jeg deltok på arrangementet, oppdaget jeg plutselig at jeg hadde mistet telefonen min i taxien. Sjåføren ba raskt en erfaren guide i nærheten om å hjelpe til med kommunikasjonen, og til slutt fant jeg den tapte telefonen min. Denne dagsturen var en flott opplevelse. Vi hadde en liten varebil, det var ikke mange mennesker, og vi samlet oss raskt. Det var nok tid til å utforske og ta bilder ved hvert sted.

Vi elsket turen så mye og hadde en veldig spennende opplevelse på denne turen. Det eneste er at tiden for hvert stopp var for kort, men totalt sett fortsatt akseptabelt. Guiden vår, Yuki, er veldig talentfull med flerspråklige ferdigheter i kinesisk, japansk, koreansk og engelsk, og svarte vennlig på alle spørsmålene våre med tålmodighet. Vi nøt virkelig denne dagsturen.

The itinerary was relaxing, and our guide, Gary, was extremely professional, attentive, and responsible. His explanations were lively and engaging, the schedule was well-organized, and he took excellent care of everyone in the group, making the entire trip even more perfect. Thank you very much; he deserves a five-star recommendation!

Fantastisk tur, likte turen rundt Ikeda hvor Cup Noodle-museet ligger. Arima by er vakker, man må ha på seg joggesko for den lange turen. Likte alle aktivitetene, takket være Junyoung, guiden vår, som tok fantastiske bilder for gruppen.
