Thank you to our tour guide, Ms. Wang Ting. She was very nice, especially since we brought our baby on the tour. We also want to thank the Japanese driver for helping us with the stroller.
The itinerary allowed us to choose our own activities at each attraction. Since we were traveling with our baby, we opted for a more relaxed pace, and the travel time between attractions was short. My daughter particularly enjoyed the Baumkuchen factory, which many people don't like; she played there for quite a while, and it was also a great place for taking photos.
Going on a tour was so much more convenient and cheaper than traveling independently!
Very convenient to use. This time I used the Keihan Railway + Osaka Subway combination. I forgot my wallet and had to go back to get it, but luckily I didn't have to pay extra for transportation. It's suitable for first-time travelers who are unfamiliar with the transportation system, as you don't have to worry about missing your stop and wasting money. In the morning, I took the subway to Yodoyabashi and transferred to the Keihan Railway to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. On the way back, I visited Fushimi Inari, Tofuku-ji Temple, and Uji. Very cost-effective.
