Lucruri de făcut în Kumano Kodo

The price only includes transportation, it's pretty much self guided. I was the only English speaking person on the tour but the guide went out his way to ensure I understood. He was very kind and accommodating. Overall a very scenic tour, beautiful natural sights, gorgeous coastlines and the pagoda fits so well with the scenery. The waterfall is breathtakingly beautiful.

O excursie excelentă de o zi la Kumano Kodo. O modalitate grozavă de a experimenta din Osaka într-o călătorie de 13 ore, din care 8 ore sunt de condus dus-întors din Osaka. Nicio problemă, deoarece condusul a fost sigur și confortabil. Excursia este împlinitoare și bine planificată, cu suficient timp pentru vizitare, dar nu zăboviți prea mult făcând fotografii. Yan Lei este un ghid excelent și un șofer grozav. Comunicare bună privind orarul și planurile. Ne-am întors la timp în Osaka, în ciuda faptului că era Ziua Muntelui și săptămâna Obon. Recomand cu căldură. Bun pentru călătorii singuri, cupluri și familii. Potrivit pentru toți, cu o gamă largă de limbi vorbite.

This Kumano Kodo day trip was a perfect experience, and I must highly recommend our guide, Yan! The guide is Chinese, so there was absolutely no language barrier throughout the entire trip. They served as both driver and guide, meticulously arranging everything, making the trip incredibly hassle-free. Before arriving at each attraction, the guide would provide detailed explanations of its history and key highlights. They thoughtfully advised us on how to best experience each site, what specific sights to focus on, and clearly communicated the duration of free time and the meeting time for our return. This meant we didn't have to worry about planning ourselves, and the pace of the trip was just right. The entire itinerary, from the service area, Kumano Hongu Taisha, Otorii, and collecting stamps at Oyu no Hara, to Nachi Taisha, Seiganto-ji Temple, Hiro Shrine, Daimonzaka, and Hayatama Taisha, concluding with a visit to the Totsukawa Onsen footbath, featured detailed and easy-to-understand explanations at every stop. The guide eloquently shared the cultural stories behind the Kumano Sanzan, allowing us to grasp the profound heritage behind these World Heritage sites, even without prior research. The guide's service attitude was gentle and attentive, and their driving was smooth and safe. They never took detours or rushed the itinerary. There was no pressure throughout the trip, allowing ample time for photos, leisurely strolls, and worship. At the end, there was even plenty of time to soak our feet in the footbath to relieve travel fatigue. I was initially concerned about the inconveniences of traveling alone in a foreign country, but thankfully, this Chinese-speaking guide provided meticulous care throughout the journey. The itinerary was both enriching and relaxed, allowing for a deep appreciation of the sacred Kumano landscape. The overall value for money was excellent. For anyone planning a day trip to Kumano, I strongly recommend Guide Yan!

I highly recommend this trip for anyone who wants to experience the Kumano Kodo trail without getting too tired. This itinerary allows you to experience the essential routes, offering a rich blend of mountain and ocean views. The Kamesei Hotel, recommended by the travel agency, boasts incredible ocean views. I hadn't booked breakfast at the hotel, and our tour leader, Mr. Yan, even called the hotel on my behalf, which I greatly appreciate!

M-am simțit minunat alături de ghidul meu, Kimi! Kimi a fost extrem de bine informată și amabilă pe parcursul turului și a interacționat excelent cu mine și prietena mea (am făcut un tur privat pentru 2 persoane). Am mers la tur știind foarte puține despre semnificația culturală, în afară de ceea ce am citit online, și am terminat turul cu o nouă apreciere pentru zona Nachisan. Este puțin spus cât de mult m-am bucurat de acest tur și recomand cu căldură tuturor să rezerve acest tur dacă merg să vadă cascadele Nachi! Pe lângă ghidul uimitor, compania de turism a fost, de asemenea, foarte receptivă, oferind actualizări prin e-mail despre cine să contactăm și unde să ne întâlnim, ceea ce a făcut foarte ușor să ne găsim ghidul în ziua respectivă.

As soon as we boarded the bus, the drivers (two of them, indicating great attention to passenger safety) gave us a very nice pen. Our guide, Saki, was very kind to us, even taking photos for us, and she took special care of us because we were the only non-Japanese participants on the tour. The stops during the trip were well-timed, and we were offered a very generous and delicious bento box. The tour was very successful, with more than adequate visiting times, and during one of these stops, we were offered tea and mochi at a local shop. Highly recommended for a break from the chaos of Osaka and to immerse yourself in a magical world.
