Redeem Universal Studios tickets with a Nintendo guaranteed admission pass, plus it's very convenient to take the Haruka bus, saving you a considerable amount of money.
This is the key to getting to Amanohashidate, and reservations are very convenient. However, the JR station staff didn't really help us reserve seats, telling us to reserve them ourselves at the machines. Was it because they were about to close for the day? The staff at Hakata Station would reserve seats for us up to six times, and in Osaka, they did take us to the machines to operate them ourselves.
My husband and I were interested in Christmas markets, so we visited without doing any research beforehand, but the view of Kobe from the ropeway was breathtaking. The herb garden was well-designed, making it easy to get around and giving us a taste of the European atmosphere. The Christmas market was small, but there was a wide selection of Christmas-related goods, and the food and drinks were delicious, so we were very satisfied.
Punctual, professional, good service, clean vehicles, safe driving. Compared to self-driving tours, you don't have to worry about parking, car rental and return times, so you can focus on your travels and visiting attractions.
Although you are buying a weekday ticket, you are not sure whether it will be full, so it is recommended to buy your ticket in advance. When buying a ticket, the seat will be arranged immediately (the right seat but not your own seat), arrive at the boarding point with the QR code directly for the driver to swipe, about two hours drive, do not have to turn left and right turn railway, very convenient. Take the bus and see that the scenery along the way is beautiful.
Communication was smooth, the driver was very nice, drove very smoothly, and the car was very clean.
