Our tour guide Kelly was fantastic and incredibly attentive!! While I understand that the time allotted for other parts of the itinerary couldn't be shortened, I still wish we could have spent more time at Himeji Castle. Himeji Castle is definitely worth exploring at a leisurely pace, Katsuo-ji Temple is beautiful and photogenic even though the hydrangeas were only partially in bloom, and Kobe Port is great for food and shopping. All three attractions are well worth a visit!
Mr. Suzuki was an incredibly kind and friendly man! Since our phones couldn't make calls to Japanese numbers, he generously assisted us. On our way to Ine, he also helped us buy seagull feed, making our trip much smoother and giving us wonderful memories! On the return trip, we needed to retrieve our large luggage, and Mr. Suzuki thoughtfully accommodated our needs, providing excellent service throughout. We are truly grateful for Mr. Suzuki's help and care, as this trip was so successful! If we ever travel to the Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe area again, we will definitely choose their car service again and recommend them to our friends and family! Thank you so much!
Nice 👌 Driving a car onto the ferry requires advance booking and ticket purchase. At the port, passengers queue in order, first come, first served. You can get a 10% discount on round-trip tickets when you purchase them at the counter.
The customer service was very patient in answering our questions, ensuring we clearly understood our charter needs. Driver Mr. Chen was very nice and polite; discussing the itinerary with him went very smoothly, and the entire trip was very enjoyable. ^_^
