Coisas para fazer em Katsuoji

⛩️🌧️ Katsuo-ji Temple — BEST Osaka experience ever! ❤️🎎 Even with the rain absolutely showing no mercy 😂☔, this place was magical, peaceful and somehow transforming. ✨🌿 So many beautiful photo spots 📸, but it never felt overly crowded or chaotic. We’ll definitely come back for better weather and decent photos! 😅☀️ 🐟 Highlight: the koi feeding area! Watching the koi swarm for food was oddly satisfying 😂🐟🍴. Don’t miss the stamp collection either — it’s a fun excuse to explore more of the temple grounds and finish the whole experience. 🗺️🎎 🚍 Downside: about 1 hour from Namba, with buses only every ~30 minutes. The ride up the mountain is very zigzaggy, so get a seat and don’t give it up! 😂🚌 Once you arrive, there are plenty of vending machines 🥤 and even a photobooth 📸 to complete the experience. Just don’t arrive starving — snacks are limited to the cute baby Daruma cakes. 🎎🍰 Bring snacks if needed! Rain or shine, absolutely worth the journey! 🌧️❤️✨

It was our 12th day in Japan, all the previous days had been exhausting. I wanted to do this tour on my own, but the children were no longer coping as well. I decided to book this tour a day in advance, and it was the best decision. We visited several places without getting too tired or exhausted, and the happy children continued on. We wouldn't have been able to see so much on our own. Our guide and driver were very kind!!!

Fantastisk pakke og god verdi for pengene. Gikk rett forbi alle som sto i kø for å få billett. Det var en veldig lang kø som jeg hoppet over ved å bruke QR-billetten. Absolutt et must!

The tour was well worth the money, and our guide Gary was very professional. I booked a 1-day tour with Klook when I visited Osaka last winter, and the guide contacted me via WhatsApp beforehand. This time, no one contacted me in advance, which made me very anxious, but everything started very well when we arrived at the meeting point on time as booked. I had a wonderful trip with my husband and children, the lunch was delicious, and enjoying green tea was a lot of fun. You should book this tour if it's your first time visiting the destinations on the itinerary, so you don't have to worry about food or transportation.

Our tour guide, CC, was superb! I was the only English-speaking participant in our group; the rest were Chinese, and she never made me feel left out. She would first provide historical information and quick guides to the group, and then she would check in with me separately afterward! It was rainy that day, but we still managed to go through the itinerary. We had enough time to explore each place, and the pickup and drop-off location is very convenient, especially if you are staying in the Dotonbori area. I would recommend this tour, especially for solo travelers, to save time getting lost and to learn a bit of history about the places as well :)

Huahua was the absolute best tour guide! After two other tours had canceled on us because of the typhoon we were lucky to have been able to book this tour. It was actually a blessing because this was one of the best tours we’ve been on! HuaHua was an excellent tour guide and made sure we knew details and history about every stop we made. He even let us know where we could get the best matcha in Uji! The tour included Uji, Byodo, Kifune Shrine, and Katsuo-ji Temple. We were able to go to every stop with an ample amount of time to roam around and shop! Thank you to HuaHua and his beautiful singing voice for giving us the best tour in Osaka!

We had such a great day on this tour with Apple. Apple was great at giving information about each place before we arrived. We were provided with must see and visit recommendations to help us whilst exploring Arashiama on our own. All of the stops are beautiful. The tour itself was very efficient with just enough time in each place to see all the highlights. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you to tour guide Xiao Zhao for the explanation. Joining a one-day tour is great because when you're tired from walking during a self-guided trip, you can briefly rest in the car, and then get off to explore and recharge. Kyoto summers are really hot, so being able to enjoy the air conditioning in the car until we reach our destination is wonderful! I will choose this again next time!

Wonderful day trip! If you've walked a lot but still have so much to see, book this. We were able to visit three very different locations, some of which would be difficult to access on our own, and all at a very relaxed pace. The guide was lovely, welcoming, and shared perfect historical knowledge throughout.
