Kansai

This itinerary is perfect for bringing elders. Although the journey takes a while (starting from Osaka), it only covers 3 points, and the walking distance to the scenic spots isn't tiring. Getting on and off the bus is always the same, so there's no confusion. 👍 The only downside was that when we got off at Arashiyama, the tour leader walked incredibly fast, and the elderly and children in our group couldn't keep up, which was a bit of a shame. Also, tickets for the Sagano Scenic Railway are sold out if you book late, and the travel information didn't clearly state that if you booked early, you could still catch up with the group.

Great show . Orca and dolphin experiences. Senior friendly, able to borrow wheelchair for elder to use in the vincinity. Walking to and from carpark may be far, can take 5-10 min of walking

Booked a 8.30am slot on a Tuesday and it was very packed when we went in. When we returned our kimonos at 1pm, the store was also very packed. Store space (first floor for outfit selection, second floor for hairstyling and changing) are both not big. Japanese lady who helped me with my kimono in my second floor was very lovely. But the choices of kimono even for the special offer are great. There are even lace designs available to choose from. Hairstyling was also done very nicely and I love it!

The boarding point for the Amanohashidate sightseeing boat is right next to Chieun-ji Temple, making it very easy to find! There's also a parking lot next to Chieun-ji Temple, and restaurants nearby, but be aware that they close relatively early. On our return trip, we disembarked at 5:30 PM, and only one ramen shop was still open! The cherry blossoms at Kasamatsu Park are beautiful, the scenery is first-class, and the hanging chair experience is also great—highly recommended!
