Passeios por Koyasan

Shunnavi war ein geduldiger und freundlicher Führer mit viel Erfahrung. Er war pünktlich und hatte ein großartiges Wissen über Koyasan. Er empfahl uns auch ein Mittagessen, was eine hervorragende Empfehlung war. Er kaufte uns sogar Snacks. Ich hoffe, wir können bei der nächsten Reise wieder an seiner Tour teilnehmen.

Google dijo 30 minutos para llegar al punto de recogida, nos dimos 1 hora y media y aun así llegamos solo 5 minutos antes de la hora de salida. Sí, era hora pico a las 6 am/¡solo dense tiempo suficiente! ¡Puede que nos hayamos perdido en la estación de Tokio jajaja! ¡Fue un tour increíble! 🥰❤️

The Koyasan Hidden Gems tour is a must-do activity when visiting Osaka, highly recommended. The meeting point was convenient, and our guide and driver, Hanazawa, was very thoughtful. He prepared AI-translated explanations in both Chinese and English about the origins of Koyasan and each attraction, playing them for us before we arrived at each site so we had the background knowledge before visiting. Since our trip was on a weekday, there were very few tourists, making it a very comfortable and peaceful experience. We tried Shojin Ryori (devotional cuisine) for lunch; I didn't particularly love it, but it was worth trying. The visit to Seijin-in Temple was the icing on the cake. After completing the Okunoin tour, Hanazawa even prepared afternoon tea and green tea for each of us, which was incredibly thoughtful. We were extremely satisfied with the day's itinerary.

Koyasan is so peaceful and beautiful. It was the highlight of my trip. I highly recommend it.

This was like an education field trip, I absolutely loved it. First of all, we were only a small group, it is always easier to tour with a smaller group. Our guide, Ms Junko was so nice and knowledgeable. She really came in prepared to share information about Kukai and the Isoteric Buddhism. Our driver, Mr. Ishida was just an absolute peach so friendly and funny! Mt. Koya was stunning and the fall foliage was just wow! The orange picking was also a good experience, the interns there were so nice and friendly.

We had an excellent Kyoto–Nara private tour booked through Klook. Everything was smooth from start to finish, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Our driver was truly incredible—professional, punctual, and very courteous throughout the entire trip. He made us feel comfortable and ensured we had a stress-free and enjoyable journey. His knowledge of the routes and flexibility with our schedule really made a difference. The tour itself was well-organized, allowing us to explore Kyoto and Nara at our own pace without feeling rushed. It was the perfect way to experience these beautiful places. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a convenient and memorable trip. We would definitely book again!

It rained that day, but it didn't affect the itinerary or experience. There were 10 people in the group: 8 foreigners and 2 compatriots from Hong Kong and Macau. We traveled in a 14-seater mini-tour bus with excellent air conditioning. Our guide and driver, Yan Lei, was very responsible and attentive. He could introduce the attractions in simple English and detailed Mandarin. There were also recorded explanations played on the bus. He led us to multiple attractions along the way. He not only prepared umbrellas but also snacks and tea. Entering the main pagoda and the Golden Hall each requires JPY500 for worship. Kongobuji Temple (JPY1000) displays a rock garden and paintings on indoor walls. Personally, I recommend spending more time at the Reihokan Museum (JPY1300), which exhibits cultural relics and Buddhist statues. They have a unique table-top mandala souvenir. There are several restaurants nearby offering Shojin Ryori (devotional cuisine), but be mindful of time management. In the afternoon, we attended a Goma prayer ceremony led by monks, which was free to join. You can write wishes on wooden strips for blessings (JPY1000) and then throw them into the sacred fire. The path from Okunoin to Kobo Daishi's mausoleum is lined with ancient trees and cemeteries. The drive involves many winding mountain roads, so those prone to motion sickness should be aware.

運転手は私たちのガイドも兼ねていました。グループは4人だけでしたから。彼は素晴らしいサービスを提供し、各場所の時間をうまく調整してくれました。とれとれ市場での時間を延長してくれたおかげで、私たちはゆっくりと昼食をとり、市場で買い物をすることができました。ツアー全体はスムーズに進み、各停車地で景色を眺めたり写真を撮ったりするのに十分な時間がありました。大阪への帰路も渋滞なくスムーズでした。
