Kyoto

I wish I had been informed of the license plate number a day in advance, as there were three vehicles on the day of the trip, which caused some confusion, and I thought I had missed my ride. Our tour guide, Abe, was a wonderful person; although the bus was late, the itinerary wasn't delayed. The driver, Fukuoka, was also very friendly. Overall, the trip was fantastic.

The whole journey by tour bus, has been divided into seats, sit in the same position every time, no need to fight, if it will be easy to sit in the car dizzy and vomiting, remember to remark to ask to sit in the front position when purchasing. The tour guide Kelly is a native of Keelung, Taiwan who married to Japan. The first stop to Egan took a cruise, the tour fee included boat tickets and a pack of shrimp strips per person to feed the seagulls. It was so fun that I almost forgot to see the boathouse. The 20-minute boat ride passed quickly. The second stop to Tianqiao Li, recommended to take the chair lift, safe and stable, suitable for the elderly, the mountain to see the scenery is very beautiful, plus the day is good, after seeing the scenery down the mountain for lunch, it is recommended to choose to include lunch. The third stop is Miyama, from the sea to the tranquil side of the mountains, hike and feel the countryside atmosphere, remember to try Miyama milk, rich milk flavor, 160 yen, must try. Returning to Osaka at about 6:30 pm, there was an accident at the end, after dinner about 9:30 mother found the left mobile phone on the tour bus, immediately contacted the tour guide hoping to contact the driver was able to retrieve the mobile phone, because the next day to leave Japan, finally successfully retrieved, thanks to the tour guide Kelly's assistance.

One price includes lots of attraction tickets and transportation, very affordable.

We arrived in Arashiyama on October 4th, hoping to take the Hozugawa River cruise on our own. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great. It rained for the next few days, and it was especially heavy on our day. We took the JR train from Kyoto Station, got off the train, and saw a sign at the exit saying there were no horse-drawn carriages or Hozugawa River cruises. It was a shame, but we did get on the Arashiyama train, and the river was incredibly turbulent! So, anyone who got on the train on good weather was lucky! And thanks to KKday, we had the opportunity to take the horse-drawn carriage. They stayed behind for our group, otherwise they wouldn't have been running. I think both horses were amazing! The one that took us was named Kuromi, and she was so clever! The carriage ride was actually quite long. It took us to the ferry, which was near the soccer field and Kameoka Station. Our tour guide then took us back to Arashiyama on the JR train from Kameoka Station—a perfect rainy day option. This time, I got to experience the different charm of Arashiyama in the rain and fog (there were still just as many tourists). Traveling is like that, with its many twists and turns. This time, because we had plenty of time, we even had time to sit down and relax inside Tenryu-ji Temple and just stare blankly at the scenery. It was a nice bonus, and we even headed towards Nison-in Temple. A small reminder for the tour guide: he could have gathered everyone at a better location for the talk. Otherwise, some places were crowded and chaotic, and it was hard for the little girl to hear the guide clearly. Also, he could have been more conspicuous at the train station, asking everyone to stand in a clear spot when gathering! Or, he could have guided the group up and down the stairs, so we didn't have to rush down all at once. Those behind us wouldn't have noticed and wouldn't know where the guide was, and the guide would have had to take the time to check if everyone had gotten down. Everything else was pretty good. At least, going with KKday saved me the hassle of buying tickets. (The refund only covered the group boat ticket, so it was still worth it to get on the boat. If we can't get on the boat due to rain, I suggest KKday include Tenryu-ji Temple tickets. Everyone would be happier, hahaha.)
