Excursão clássica de um dia a Quioto e Nara: Muro Daruma do Templo Katsuoji & Floresta de Bambu de Arashiyama & Alimentação de veados no Parque Nara (partindo de Osaka)

Today's itinerary was incredibly fulfilling! Tour guide and driver Zou was very kind and humorous, leading everyone to visit Itoshima's iconic attractions. The Meoto Iwa (Wedded Rocks) at Futamigaura were truly beautiful and great for photos – I originally chose this day tour specifically for this coastline, but I was unexpectedly surprised by Raizan Sennyoji Temple, which we visited along the way! The temple's atmosphere was serene, offering a sense of spiritual cleansing. Listening to the monks chant at the start of the day's journey felt particularly ceremonial. Ichiran no Mori is also well worth a visit. Although Ichiran Ramen can be found everywhere, this location has exclusive gashapon machines that are a must-collect! The small museum inside, though not large, was also quite interesting. I had originally planned to travel independently, but Itoshima's attractions are spread out, so I ultimately gave up on self-planning. Joining a day tour was easy and convenient, and we got to see all the must-visit spots! Highly recommended!

Our tour guide, Ms. Zhang Quan, was very kind and friendly. During the bus journey, she introduced us to many local customs and traditions of Fukuoka, and she also adjusted the itinerary based on traffic conditions. We were very lucky to only wait 20 minutes at Ichiran Ramen. Although the weather was hot, the guide diligently showed us the best photo spots. She was also very helpful with ordering when we were shopping, and even on the way back, she specifically introduced us to attractions near Hakata. This guide is truly recommendable!

The itinerary was mostly to our liking, but unfortunately, some attractions had their time cut short due to a car door malfunction. It's a pity. If the tour could be arranged on a weekday, the experience would surely be better. The traffic jam on the weekend also wasted a lot of time, which was also a shame. The temple was beautiful and very peaceful, with plenty of shade, making it very comfortable to stay in; the pudding was delicious, and the scenery was also beautiful; the water at Futami Okitama Shrine (Meoto Iwa) was very clean, but unfortunately, the time was short, and the children didn't get enough play time before we had to walk back to the meeting point for over 10 minutes; the view from Fukuoka Tower is worth seeing (when the weather is good); the time spent at Ichiran Ramen could be shortened, but the Ichiran here was much tastier than the main branch in Fukuoka!

The itinerary was excellent, and our guide Xiao Liu and the driver were very professional and flexible. We didn't even have to queue for Ichiran Ramen! Amazing! The tour fee was great value! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

There were 21 people in our tour group, and the mini-bus was full. The overall itinerary was well-planned. The only minor drawback was the Ichiran Ramen Museum dining spot. Although we had made a reservation with the restaurant in advance, we still had to queue with the people waiting on-site. We waited for an hour that day before we could eat. I feel it would be better to choose a dining spot that doesn't require queuing, freeing up time for other activities so we can spend more time enjoying the beautiful sea views.

Highly recommended itinerary! If you want to visit these three relatively remote spots in one day without getting too tired, you should definitely book this tour. The guide will introduce the next attraction after boarding, and then you'll have time to rest or sleep. Upon arrival, you can explore freely or choose to follow the guide. For lunch, Guide Wang also recommended a delicious restaurant in Arashiyama. Katsuoji Temple is beautiful and amazing, but it's in a place that's not easily accessible by public transport. The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is very unique, and the recommended restaurant there is delicious. Feeding the deer in Nara is a fun and enjoyable experience.

The tour guide was friendly, the activities were fun, and the island was beautiful. Highly recommended!

This is perfect for those without a car, as each location in Itoshima is a bit far apart, and the weather is hot, so you'll sweat after just a few steps. There are also different itinerary options for getting from point to point, which is great for families.

The experience at Raizan-ji Temple was excellent! It's also quite unique that the salt factory now sells summer-limited salt beer~! The driver who also acted as our guide was also very pleasant~ Thank you for your hard work! 😁

Victoria was a very knowledgeable and fun tour guide, and we enjoyed the trip a lot! She also recommended popular local snacks which we really enjoyed!
