Excursão de um dia a Amanohashidate e Ine Funaya em Quioto (opcional: trem Tango e rota Miyama)

The day before the tour, an email will be sent with meeting information. We gathered at Exit 2 of Nihonbashi in the morning, where tour leader Momo was waiting for tourists with a sign. Before arriving at each attraction, the tour leader also provided explanations in multiple languages. Around Amanohashidate (cable car) sandbar, the water was clear, and the scenery was tranquil and beautiful. Ine no Funaya (boat tour to feed seagulls & eagles) was a special experience suitable for both adults and children, though it was a pity that the boathouses could only be viewed from a distance on the boat. Miyama-cho thatched-roof village was a quiet village with not much to do other than appreciate the local charm. This trip involved longer travel times, so the itinerary was a bit tight, but there were opportunities to rest along the way. Arranging a day trip by tour bus during a free and easy trip in Osaka was truly a wise decision!

The most beautiful sights ever. Our guide was informative and helpful. Even though the time was limited, we still got to stop by 3 different sights with time for lunch designated. The cable car and cruise were absolutely worth it. The views were stunning from above and the cruise ride was amazing as well! Seagull feeding was fun and snacks are included!

Due to the early falling of maple and ginkgo leaves, I booked the tour just the day before. We met at Nihonbashi in the morning, and our tour guide, Guo Bining, was a very easygoing young lady. First, we went to Amanohashidate. The scenery from the cable car going up the mountain was truly beautiful, and the mountaintop felt like a small amusement park! Next to the parking lot was Chion-ji Temple. Before meeting up, I managed to grab some eel and snow crab rice, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to buy the popular snow crab sushi from a place with a long queue. Feeding the seagulls was also moved to Amanohashidate, which was very interesting. Later, we also spent a short time at Ine Funaya and Miyama. The itinerary was fulfilling, the scenery was beautiful, and the trip was well worth it. The tour guide also gave brief introductions to the attractions, and we were lucky to meet a punctual group of fellow travelers from various places.

Northern Kyoto is absolutely beautiful, and since it's difficult to reach on your own, a bus tour is very convenient. It's quite a distance, so it will take some time to get there, but you'll be able to visit three beautiful spots! This would be very challenging without a bus tour.

A Wonderful Family Experience! Our family of four had an amazing time on this tour! The itinerary was well-paced and covered so many beautiful spots a mix of scenery, culture, and unique experiences without feeling rushed. We loved the seagull-feeding cruise at Ine Fishing Village out of the usual Osaka tourist itinerary surely a very memorable one, the stunning “Flying Dragon View” at Amanohashidate where we rode a chairlift up the mountain and cycle rail with a view, and the peaceful visit to Chion-ji Temple. Kayabuki no Sato was also a charming highlight very informative on their tradition and culture. A very special thank you to our tour guide, Apple, who was extremely generous, patient, and accommodating throughout the whole day. She made sure everyone was comfortable and truly elevated the experience for our family. She gave us extra food for the seagulls and even helped us find the lost gold earring of our mother. Highly recommended for families

We are very grateful for the arrangements made by our guide, Apple. Although the three attractions were not close to each other, the guide's arrangements were very reasonable, and we never felt rushed. She also allocated ample free time for us at each spot. In the car, the guide meticulously and professionally explained the cultural history of the attractions, allowing us to experience the local charm. The attractions themselves were also top-notch, especially Amanohashidate, which truly lives up to its reputation as one of Japan's three most scenic views. With the good weather, the view from Hiryukan was even more expansive. Of course, Ine, known as Japan's Venice, also offered beautiful scenery, and the jelly-like sea along the way was particularly therapeutic. Finally, Miyama – we were lucky to avoid peak hours, so the village we photographed looked very peaceful. In summary, I highly recommend this day trip and am very thankful for Apple's companionship (we were surprised to find out we were from the same hometown!).

I really enjoyed the trip. Our guide Eric seemed to find the best time, strategy, and location. We avoided the crowds, made it on time, and enjoyed most of the highlights. He made the trip pleasant and not pushy. Most importantly, he ensured everyone was contactable, so we felt safe and enjoyed our time. Highly recommended trip.

Amanohashidate was such a fun and scenic spot to explore in Kyoto! We took the cable car up the hill for an incredible view of the sandbar stretching across the bay then hop on a boat to cruise along the water. Perfect for nature lovers and anyone looking for a chill, scenic day trip. Our guide Takahashi is also very friendly and helpful. Thank you!!

Mr. Takahashi is truly enthusiastic. Compared to other groups, he was the first guide to arrive and even used his own phone to help contact other groups whose members had arrived but whose guides were late and confused (and there were two such groups). It wasn't even his responsibility, but he was so eager to help, which is truly wonderful and kind! All three attractions were great fun. Amanohashidate was excellent for photos, and the pudding and ice cream were delicious. The charms and fan omikuji at Chion-ji Temple before taking the cable car were cute and worth buying. The water in Ine was very clean, and the scenery was beautiful. Feeding the seagulls and eagles was really exciting; we didn't want to get off the boat. Miyama's thatched-roof village was also perfect for photos. Everything was delightful. The most important tip is to bring a neck pillow for the bus ride, as it's quite long. Guide Takahashi suggests resting on the bus whenever possible. There's no TV or music system on the bus, so you can bring your own snacks and neck pillow and enjoy the scenery along the way. I sincerely recommend it!

Es una forma cómoda de explorar el norte de Kioto sin preocuparse por los trasbordos. Disfruté de las vistas, especialmente de Amanohashidate. Las aguas de Ine no estaban tan claras como esperaba, pero quizás sea porque es mejor ir allí durante los veranos. También me gustaría que las instrucciones en el correo electrónico fueran mucho más claras sobre cómo encontrar al guía (por ejemplo, una banderita específica).
