⛩️🌧️ 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, and all the previous days had been exhausting. I had wanted to do this tour on my own, but the kids weren't keeping up as well anymore. 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 worn out, and the kids happily continued. We wouldn't have been able to see so much on our own. Our guide and driver were very kind!

The tour was well worth the money, and our guide, Gary, was very professional. When I visited Osaka last winter, I booked a one-day tour through Klook, and the guide contacted me via WhatsApp beforehand. This time, no one contacted me in advance, which made me quite anxious. However, everything started very smoothly once we arrived at the designated time and meeting point. My husband, children, and I had a wonderful trip, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and had a great time tasting green tea. I highly recommend booking this tour if it's your first time visiting the places on the itinerary, as it takes care of your meals and 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 give a history and some quick guides to the group first and then would check with me after separately! it was rainy on that day but still managed to go through the itinerary. we had enough time to go around each place and the pickup and drop off place is very convenient especially if you are staying at the dotonbori area. would recommend especially for solo travellers to save time getting lost and to know a bit of history to the places as well :)
