Passeios por Ine Bay Sightseeing Boat

The morning itinerary in Ine was quite packed. The cafes were overflowing with people, so there was no way to leisurely enjoy the food and scenery. Feeding the seagulls from the boat was indeed very interesting. I accidentally got hit by "golden rain" and even got bitten, but the feeling of being treated like a bird's nest by the seagulls was quite peculiar, almost like being close to nature. The afternoon at Amanohashidate was about 2 hours. Following the tour guide, after taking the cable car, there was only about an hour left. The scenery on the mountain was magnificent, and there were quite a few facilities to enjoy. It happened to be the Emperor's birthday (or yesterday), so many shops were closed, and we couldn't find a place to eat (the remaining few were packed with people). However, there were still a few small vendors where we could buy snacks. The scenery at Akechi Temple was beautiful, and the paper umbrella ema were also very pretty; I really wanted to take them home. The tour guide was kind and very enthusiastic, constantly emphasizing the characteristics of the attractions. When I accidentally broke the handle of a cabinet on the bus, he kindly said it was okay, which made me feel a bit embarrassed. The itinerary was great, and I would consider it again in the future. I recommend it to others.

This tour was the highlight of our trip! The meeting point was close to our hotel, and the guide, Liu, sent me the exact map pin to use. (On Google Maps, the pin is named "KKDay"). The bus was warm and comfortable on such a cold and windy day, it was about 8-10°C. What we loved most was that the trip truly felt so relaxed, as if we booked private transfers and not a full itinerary trip! Our guide, Liu always sent us meeting point instructions and highlights for the spots we were visiting. He was very accommodating and answered all our questions. He's fluent in Chinese, English and Japanese! I would 100% recommend this trip to anyone taking a trip to Osaka!!!

Our tour guide, Hua Hua (花花), provided exceptional service, offering clear explanations and invaluable assistance throughout the tour. I highly recommend this tour for those interested in visiting these two locations.

This time, we chose to visit Amanohashidate and Miyama Kayabuki no Sato. We skipped Ine to allow for more ample visiting time. As a result, the entire trip wasn't rushed, and we could fully enjoy the scenery. In the morning, we first went to Amanohashidate, the "Kyoto by the Sea," where the scenery was beautiful. We brought some bread ourselves to save time on lunch. (This gave us two hours to play, ride the cable car, go to the sandbar after descending, and visit Chion-ji Temple.) The lake cruise at noon was a lot of fun; it was my first time seeing seagulls and eagles 🦅 up close. In the afternoon, we arrived at Miyama, the "Kyoto by the Mountains." We had an hour at the thatched-roof village, which was as serene and beautiful as a fairy tale village. Additionally, our tour guide, Huahua, was very kind, diligently introduced the attractions, enthusiastically helped us take photos, and reminded us of details. When we got off in Osaka, she also kindly told us where to catch the train with an elevator, which was more convenient. I highly recommend this tour and our guide, Huahua.

Overall, it was a very satisfying package tour. Although the long travel times made it a bit tiring, our guide, 'Shim Man-pyeong,' was great because he kept us entertained with conversation and explanations. He was proficient in four languages (Korean, Chinese, Japanese, English), but he was especially entertaining in Korean, and even recommended great restaurants at the end! We were so grateful. The scenery was incredibly beautiful, beyond words. I had wanted to see the Japanese countryside, and that's exactly what it was like. I couldn't capture it all in photos, so I'll keep it in my memory forever.

家族や友人と一緒にこのツアーに参加することを強くお勧めします！道中では雪を見ることもできました！私の家族は伊根でエビせんべいをカモメに与えて楽しい時間を過ごしました。また、天橋立では素敵な写真を撮り、景色を楽しみました。

I highly recommend tour guide Mingming. On the bus, she enthusiastically explains the attractions and actively helps everyone solve problems. The itinerary was also very interesting, and the weather was great. This time I participated alone; perhaps next time I will visit these places again with family and friends.

Kinosaki Onsen is a relaxing itinerary for a leisurely visit. Izushi Town offers a laid-back stroll through its streets, and the Izushi Sara Soba noodles are both unique and delicious. Kinosaki Onsen, on the other hand, has a completely different atmosphere. It's perfect for those who enjoy taking their time and experiencing the local nostalgic and cultural ambiance. Special thanks to our driver and guide, Mr. Zhang Yanjin, for his comfortable and safe driving, and for helping us experience the charm of Kinosaki Onsen, leaving us with many wonderful memories.
