Although the journey takes a long time, it's well worth it. Feeding the seagulls is exciting, and the view of the bay from the swing cable car is beautiful. There's enough time for everything. If you haven't been, you should consider going once; it's worth the ticket price.
Make good use of your ticket by choosing three locations or exchanging it for discounts. You can get a ¥1500 discount coupon for Tsutenkaku Tower, Abeno Harukas 300 Observatory, and Tennoji Mio Department Store, which is worth the ticket price.
No need to figure out complicated transfer routes yourself; there's a private car pick-up and a friendly guide (Tomoe BA) to lead the way, making things much easier. The scenery at Amanohashidate is absolutely stunning, and the view from the cable car up to Hiryu-kan is incredible! We also enjoyed a boat trip and feeding the seagulls in Ine Bay along the way, which was a lot of fun. Overall, the itinerary was very smooth, the timing was perfect, and it was great value for money. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a short trip to the suburbs!
I was a bit disappointed with the Tango tram trip because the time spent crossing the sea was very short, and you didn't really feel like you were traveling on the sea unless you sat in the front of the train. It would have been better to go directly to Amanohashidate and have more time for eating and shopping.
The advantage is that it saves on travel expenses and you can easily swipe your card to enter the subway station. Otherwise, it costs at least 190 NTD per stop. You can easily break even by taking a 3 or 4-stop round trip. The disadvantage is that it is inconvenient if your network is unstable and you have to wait for the QR code to come out.
The waterfalls on the Dongcheon Trail were incredibly powerful and impressive after Typhoon No. 7 swept through the area. However, the two-hour itinerary wasn't enough time to fully explore them. Our guide, Wu Jun, was very attentive and professional.
