Excursii Funaya

our guide Cali was really nice, knowledgeable and fun. When I couldnt find our exact meeting spot or group as there were other tours in that area, she came to find us. She even gave out postcards and hard candy, which I later had to hunt down as I became obsessed with it. It rained that day but it didnt stop us from enjoying the trip even though we got soaked. I wished I got to experience the boat ride better as I said, it was raining, and everyone ended up crowding on the lower deck and a couple of people on the tour kept hogging feeding the seagulls without moving or giving anyone else the chance to feed them until we were almost near the port. and yes I did ask them if they could move a bit so I can have a turn, they ignored me while kept taking pics and videos, blocking the view, and so I ended up eating the shrimp chips instead....it was a pretty good snack...I get why the gulls like them. all in all, would definitely recommend and book again.

A very well-organized and punctual day tour. Visiting Amanohashidate and Ine Funaya in a single day is made so easy without the headache of figuring out transportation. The view of the 'Bridge to Heaven' from the top of the hill is extraordinarily beautiful, and the boat experience feeding seagulls in the Ine fishing village is very exciting and unique. The tour guide was friendly and communicative, and the bus was very comfortable. Highly recommended.

The itinerary was well-organized and compact. Being able to visit such a distant attraction in a single day is really only possible by taking a day tour. Since it's a famous spot, there were quite a few people even on a weekday. I especially loved the boat cruise and feeding the seagulls; I strongly recommend that those who know how to have fun buy 1-2 extra bags of shrimp crackers, because the birds' reactions can honestly be described as starving ghosts—they are great at eating, completely unafraid, and being so close makes for a very unique experience. The least worthwhile part was probably the Tango sightseeing train; because you're sitting inside the train, the feeling of crossing over the sea is quite muted, completely different from taking photos from below looking up. It's a bit of a letdown, so I suggest travelers booking this tour skip the package that includes the Tango train experience. Our local guide, Ba-san, is from Beijing and has lived in Japan for many years. He was very enthusiastic, introducing us to a lot of interesting trivia about Japan as well as great, cost-effective everyday dining spots. At the end, he even sang to liven up the atmosphere. Thank you very much!

On September 24th, we took a tour of Kyoto guided by MIKA, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The instructions for the meeting point and updates upon arriving in Kyoto were seamless, allowing us on-time tour departure without any delays. During the journey, we were deeply moved by our guide's detailed explanations and her passionate dedication in carefully checking whether everyone wanted to ride the amusement park lift and the sightseeing boat upon arrival. The tour itinerary and optional add-ons (the lift up to Amanohashidate Amusement Park and the Ine Bay sightseeing boat) were not excessive; they were essential components for an efficient tour, which made purchasing the full package feel very rewarding and worthwhile. The meal during the tour was also not bad in terms of saving time. Given the rather tight schedule, we think it was much better to grab a quick bite rather than searching for a restaurant and waiting in line, allowing us to spend ample time at the observation deck. Originally, we planned to rent a car and leave Kyoto early in the morning, but considering the difficulty of driving (unlike Korea, regional roads feature strict two-lane round-trip highway sections, speed limits, and strict railroad crossings) and driving in an unfamiliar area for the first time, choosing this tour over a self-drive rental trip was definitely the better choice. Based on this wonderful tour experience, we feel confident that next time we can comfortably travel to Amanohashidate and Ine on our own using a rental car. Thanks to our guide MIKA, who enthusiastically responded to all our questions, helped with souvenirs, and recommended great photo spots throughout the tour, it became a truly memorable experience. Although the physical distance and road conditions made for a tight schedule, the tour itinerary was exceptionally well-organized and fulfilling.

Cu o zi înainte de călătorie, veți primi un e-mail cu informații despre locul de întâlnire. Dimineața, ne-am întâlnit la ieșirea 2 din Nihonbashi, unde ghidul Momo ne aștepta cu o pancartă. Înainte de a ajunge la fiecare atracție, ghidul a oferit explicații în mai multe limbi. La Amanohashidate (telecabină), ne-am plimbat pe lângă bancul de nisip, iar apa era foarte limpede, liniștită și frumoasă. Ine no Funaya (plimbare cu barca pentru a hrăni pescărușii și vulturii) este o experiență specială, potrivită atât pentru adulți, cât și pentru copii, dar, din păcate, casele plutitoare pot fi admirate doar de la distanță, de pe barcă. Satul Miyama cu casele sale tradiționale (Gassho-zukuri) este un loc liniștit, unde nu sunt multe de făcut în afară de a admira peisajul local. Deși drumul a fost destul de lung, iar programul a fost puțin strâns, am avut ocazia să ne odihnim pe parcurs. A fost o decizie înțeleaptă să includem o excursie de o zi cu autocarul în timpul șederii noastre libere în Osaka!

TUR EXCELENT! condus de un ghid turistic care poate conversa în engleză, chineză și japoneză! Foarte bine pregătit. Călătoria a meritat cu siguranță. Călătoria cu autobuzul a durat 4 ore dus-întors. Priveliștile au fost pitorești și am putut hrăni pescărușii!

Ghidul nostru a fost minunat! A fost foarte bine informat, atent și prietenos. A explicat totul clar și ne-a oferit informații utile pe tot parcursul excursiei. Locurile pe care le-am vizitat au fost absolut frumoase. Deși drumul a fost destul de lung, cu siguranță a meritat, mai ales dacă iubești natura. Recomand cu căldură!

Our guide Louis was extremely kind. Even though it was a day for English and Chinese-guided tours and we were the only Korean couple, he kindly guided us in Korean and even sent explanations via KakaoTalk, so we had a very comfortable and pleasant trip. Not to mention the scenery and our overall satisfaction haha. Thank you once again. Highly recommended a million times!

Ghidul a fost foarte blând și răbdător, ocupându-se cu seriozitate de toate problemele noastre. Singurul aspect negativ a fost că programul a fost puțin cam aglomerat. Din cauză că am nimerit în weekend și de o sărbătoare națională în Japonia, a fost foarte multă lume și a trebuit să stăm la coadă peste tot, ceea ce a dus la un timp insuficient pentru masă, trebuind să ne mulțumim cu gustări rapide; a fost puțin pe fugă. Însă marea și Amanohashidate sunt cu adevărat superbe. Ultima parte, cu pescărușii, a fost puțin dezamăgitoare. Partea de jos a vasului era deja plină, așa că a trebuit să mergem sus, în soare, să hrănim pescărușii, dar ni s-a părut că erau foarte puțini pescăruși, iar snack-urile cu creveți le-am mâncat noi. Dacă am reușit să hrănim unul singur, a fost bine. Nu știu dacă din cauza mulțimii de oameni au fost deja sătui. Data viitoare, un astfel de itinerariu ar fi mai bine să fie făcut în timpul săptămânii, ca să evităm aglomerația și statul la coadă pentru orice🥺🥺
