Funaya mga tour

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.

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!

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.

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.

MAGANDANG TOUR! Pinangunahan ng tour guide na nakakapagsalita ng Ingles, Chinese at Japanese! Napakahusay. Ang paglalakbay sa tour ay talagang sulit. Ang biyahe sa bus ay 4 na oras papunta at pabalik. Maganda ang mga tanawin at nakapagpakain pa kami ng mga seagull!

Isang araw bago ang biyahe, ipapadala ang email para sa impormasyon ng pagtitipon. Maaga sa umaga, nagtipon kami sa Exit 2 ng Nihonbashi, kung saan naghihintay si Momo, ang tour guide, na may hawak na karatula. Bago makarating sa mga atraksyon, nagpapaliwanag din ang tour guide sa iba't ibang wika. Sa Amanohashidate (cable car), ang paligid ng sandbar ay tahimik at maganda, at napakalinaw ng tubig. Ang Ine no Funaya (boat tour para pakainin ang mga seagull at agila) ay isang natatanging karanasan para sa mga matatanda at bata, ngunit sayang at ang mga boat house ay makikita lamang mula sa malayo habang nasa bangka. Ang Miyama-cho thatched-roof village ay isang tahimik na lugar kung saan masisiyahan ka sa lokal na kultura. Medyo malayo ang biyahe sa pagkakataong ito, kaya medyo masikip ang iskedyul, ngunit may mga pagkakataon para magpahinga sa daan. Ang paglalaan ng isang araw para sa bus tour sa gitna ng libreng paglalakbay sa Osaka ay isang napakatalinong desisyon!

Ang tour guide ay napakabait at matiyaga, at seryoso rin sa paglutas ng anumang problema namin. Ang tanging hindi maganda ay medyo masikip ang itinerary. Nagkataon na weekend at may espesyal na holiday pa sa Japan, kaya maraming tao. Kailangan naming pumila at maghintay, na naging dahilan para kulang ang oras sa pagkain. Kailangan lang naming maghanap ng maliliit na pagkain, medyo nagmamadali. Ngunit ang dagat at ang Amanohashidate ay napakaganda talaga. Medyo nadismaya ako sa huling bahagi tungkol sa mga seagull. Puno na ang ibabang palapag ng barko, kaya sa itaas lang kami nakapunta para magpa-araw at magpakain ng mga seagull. Pero parang kakaunti lang ang mga seagull, at kinain ko na lang ang karamihan ng Ebi Sen. Masaya na kung nakapagpakain ako ng isa. Hindi ko alam kung nabusog na sila dahil sa dami ng tao. Para sa ganitong uri ng itinerary, mas maganda kung sa weekday na lang sa susunod para hindi siksikan at hindi na kailangan pang pumila at maghintay para sa lahat ng bagay.🥺🥺

Our guide was amazing! She was very knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. He explained everything clearly and gave us helpful information throughout the trip. The places we visited were absolutely beautiful. Although the journey was quite long, it was definitely worth it, especially if you love nature. Highly recommended!

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!
