Amanohashidate

Trip was well paced from Kyoto. However, I thought it would be too much bus time for those from Osaka. Weather was a bit of a let down so if there were some sale of daiso raincoat , it would have felt more thoughtful. In terms of food recommendation at Amanohasidate, more could be said on the bus trip before orders were taken for the ‘convenient’ katsu restaurant at gathering point. For example , the hilltop restaurant was lovely. Guides were kind and polite. Locations are nice with great nature/air but slightly off by gloomy weather and off season energy of closed shops. Cruise is a must - feeding eagles were energizing.

This was my first time using the airport transfer service, and the experience was much better than I expected. The driver was very punctual and drove smoothly. Overall, the ride was great. The car was clean and comfortable, and the luggage assistance was very thoughtful. I will definitely book again next time.

The weather was unpredictable this time, and it even rained when we took the cable car, so only the cable car was open. Last time, the scenery was mostly blocked by trees, so I found the mode of transport acceptable. For the sightseeing boat, if you're with a KKDay tour group, I suggest not buying tickets; group tickets are available, but depending on the boat company, you might not be able to use them.

Only 4 people participated this time, but KKDAY still managed to form a group, which is great! The whole trip felt like a private tour with a chartered car. The only downside was that the weather wasn't cooperating. It rained and visibility was poor when we arrived at Amanohashidate in the morning to climb to the top. However, the weather cleared up in the afternoon when we arrived at Jieunsa Temple and the Revolving Bridge, and the photos we took looked like postcards. We are very grateful to Mr. Wang, who was both our driver and guide. It took 2.5 hours each way, which was quite tiring! I recommend coming in the summer when the weather is good, as it will be even more beautiful.
