Festival das Cerejeiras na Barragem de Yodogawa, Uji, Katsuoji e Cachoeira de Mino: Excursão de um dia

Sean is such an excellent host/guide!! On the bus en route and as we approached stops, he would share history and fun facts about the areas, and would also walk us and point out his recommendations, best spots to take photos, and local favorites. Although the experience was nearly a whole day, time flew by. In fact, I wish we could’ve spent more time at some of our stops. Definitely bring cash for smaller food stands and vendors, and note that the bus does not have chargers or a bathroom - so plan accordingly. Highly recommend, and would love to attend a tour by Sean next time we’re in town!

We decided to try this tour during cherry blossom season, and it was definitely a great choice. Everything was well organized, allowing us to visit several beautiful spots without the hassle of planning transportation ourselves especially helpful since it was our first time visiting these places. The timing and itinerary were just right, giving us enough time to enjoy each location without feeling rushed. Our tour guide was also very friendly and knowledgeable, sharing interesting history and insights along the way. Overall, it was a splendid and smooth experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and enjoyable way to explore during sakura season 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yodogawa Seiwari-zutsumi Cherry Blossom was amazing and beautiful! We absolutely love Katsuō-ji Temple, completing the postcard was really fun! Our tour guide 小谢 was late in the morning as he was unwell, but he was 100% professional and did his best to guide us around for the entire day. Thanks to his recommendation, we also visited Ujikami Shrine and Uji Shrine. We also had the best unagi in Uji.

So lucky that we chose for this trip. Lucky to tour around on the cherry full blossom day. Very nice land tour package for a couple like us who want to have a relax and fruitful road trip. Everywhere are so beautiful. Less hassle if compare to travel here and there on your own. Nice and friendly tour guide Mr Joe (Kaisei san) assigned to us. He managed to solve a few of the last minute hiccup caused by those other traveler on the same trip. Thank u Kaisei San and Thank u for the enjoyable trip. 😊

It was the best place in Kyoto I've ever seen. We enjoyed Katsuo-ji Temple a lot, despite the heavy rain. We didn't have much time to enjoy it. The rain prevented us from seeing the Minoo Falls; our tour guide, Chen, showed us a picture of it. The tunnel of cherry blossoms is so beautiful. We took many pictures of it because that's the main reason we chose to visit Japan at this time of year. Our tour guide made this tour enjoyable.

This limited edition Sakura viewing bundle is truly a steal, offering visits to three famous spots to see the amazing Sakura blooms in their best season and form. These included the Yodogawa River site, a refreshing stroll along the Minoh Waterfalls, and finally, experiencing the massive Daruma dolls temple in Katsuoji Temple, believed to bring good luck to visitors. All in one day, it was truly a fun and memorable experience. Although our guide was purely a Chinese speaker, he did his best to keep me (a non-Chinese speaking guest) well-informed, and I even blended in well with my fellow Chinese tourists.

This was a magnificent day trip!! Absolutely worth every penny spent. The sakura were blooming and appreciate Joe making sure we got what we paid for. I highly recommend this trip from beginning to end :)

I'm very grateful for this tour; it was excellent value for money. A big thank you to Xiao Zhang, Joe, Xiao Zheng, Xiao Chang, and Huahua for their dedicated companionship and introductions. This was the most thoughtful tour I've ever taken out of 4-5 trips. I'm worried I won't be able to find such a wonderful tour again! Even though we were afraid there wouldn't be cherry blossoms, they specifically took us to nearby spots where flowers were blooming. Joe even scouted the locations beforehand and provided us with maps. The best part is that the team always waited for everyone near the attractions, so we never had to worry about getting lost or not finding anyone. Sometimes, you can really feel the passion people have for their work, and customers can sense it. In the future, when I book tours, I will definitely pay special attention to choosing tours from Japan Holiday Travel Co., Ltd. The time at Katsuoji Temple was a bit short, so those who wanted to stamp postcards had to make good use of their time, haha.

Xie, nuestro guía turístico, fue muy servicial y complaciente. Nos ayudó durante nuestro recorrido y nos indicó los mejores lugares para tomar fotos. Tour altamente recomendado. Los lugares incluidos en el tour valieron la pena visitar.

Thanks to Director Liu for leading us on April 1st. He had scouted ahead and obtained a Uji map, recommending which places in Uji were worth visiting. In addition to the original itinerary, he also specially took us to see the full-blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms. The only downside of the entire trip was the waterfall attraction; I really felt it wasn't worth seeing. The uphill and downhill walk was very tiring and not suitable for the elderly. I hope that in the future, the waterfall attraction can be removed and replaced with extended time at Sewaritei and Katsuoji Temple, as I truly feel these two attractions deserve more time.
