Reviews/Trip Moments

Reviews: Kyoto & Nara Classic Day Tour with Friendly Deer
Guest User2026-02-01
I went on a Kyoto tour with my family in January, and it was a truly satisfying trip. From the moment we boarded the tour bus early in the morning until the end of the trip, our guide, Haehwa, shared a wealth of valuable information about living in Japan. This was incredibly helpful not only for our Kyoto trip but also for our subsequent independent trip to Osaka. The tour bus was staffed entirely by Koreans, which made it comfortable. While I was a bit worried about the language barrier, our guide, Haehwa, provided detailed and friendly explanations in Korean, allowing me to focus on my trip with peace of mind. I was surprised by the sheer number of tourists at each Kyoto tourist site, but I was impressed by the tour's well-curated selection of Kyoto's key attractions. We included almost all the places featured on popular Kyoto travel blogs, allowing us to fully enjoy Kyoto in a short amount of time. One of the most memorable moments for me was when my child left his phone on the tour bus, leaving us in a state of confusion. Even after we had finished our trip and returned to Korea, our guide, Haehwa, was attentive and took care of everything, finding it for us. This must have been a difficult task, and I was so grateful for his kind and helpful approach. This experience has further strengthened my trust, and I definitely want to use this tour on my next trip to Japan. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone considering a trip to Kyoto.

Traveling alone, I booked a day trip to Kyoto departing from Osaka. 😆 Our guide, ViVi, was very friendly and attentive, providing excellent explanations in both Chinese and English. There was plenty of time for sightseeing, making it a very fulfilling day. I have wonderful memories of Kyoto. 😊 The matcha ice cream 🍦 was so delicious! 🤤
Reviews: Amanohashidate Sandbar & Ine Funaya Village Tour with Optional Sea Cruise
Guest User2025-12-02
🌳 3 Must-Do Things at Amanohashidate 1️⃣ Climb to the top of "Umbrella Pine Park" for a bird's-eye view of the sandbar → Take the cable car to the top (round trip ¥720), and take a "reverse Fuji" composition from the viewpoint overlooking the sea. → Hidden spot: The west side of the observation deck at the top of the mountain offers a stunning view of the sandbar and the Aso Sea side-by-side! 2️⃣ Walk barefoot on the "Natural White Sand Beach" → Take off your shoes and walk on 2km of pure white sand. The seawater washing over your ankles at high tide is incredibly soothing. → Rent a bicycle (¥500/hour) and chase seagulls along the sandbar, feeling the shape of the wind. 3️⃣ Visit "Chieunji Temple" for amulets → Vermilion torii gates paired with century-old pine trees; seek amulets for academic success/marriage (from ¥800). → Touch the "Manjushri Wisdom Wheel" and spin it three times; legend says it will make you smarter!
Reviews: Kyoto and Nara Day Tour │ Kiyomizu-dera Temple + Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine + Nara Park
Guest User2025-11-19
Kyoto and Nara are must-see destinations on any Kansai trip. Every corner of Kyoto exudes elegance and Zen-like tranquility; in Nara, the ancient trees and gentle, bowing deer of Todai-ji Temple add a touch of dynamism to this ancient capital. It was a very enjoyable trip. Our guide, Xiao Tian, ​​was very nice and provided excellent service, introducing attractions and offering suggestions for the itinerary. The other members of our group were also very punctual, and the atmosphere was wonderful.

Guide Haehwa was the best!!! I asked for directions for the first time when I got to the bus stop in the morning, and it was Guide Haehwa~^^ Even though she said she wasn't Korean, she spoke so well that I had a very comfortable trip. She was also very punctual, so I'm glad no one missed the bus~^^ The bus tour was more enjoyable than I expected. Guide Haehwa~~ is the best!!!
