I signed up for this trip specifically for Daruma-ji Temple, and it was definitely worth it! The sight of so many Daruma dolls was spectacular and very characteristic of Japan. The atmosphere was also very peaceful and comfortable, and every photo turned out beautifully 😊 The guide was also very friendly, sharing many stories and cultural aspects of Daruma-ji Temple, making the whole experience even more meaningful. The overall itinerary was smooth and not too rushed, making it a very satisfying day trip to Kyoto!
The entire trip was amazing, even before it started. It was all done in Chinese, which made me feel very reassured. Before the trip, they used Line to answer questions and help plan the itinerary. During the trip, they changed the pick-up point and immediately accommodated me. On the day of the trip, Mr. Chen provided friendly service and drove smoothly and quickly. I would definitely come back again if I had the chance!
We'll be traveling on a medium-sized bus with one seat on the left and two on the right, and an aisle in the middle. The last row has four seats, and there's space for luggage behind the last row. The tour guide will help arrange seating so that fellow speakers of the same language can sit in adjacent areas. There are comprehensive guided tours upon boarding the bus and arriving at attractions, but if you want to explore freely once you arrive, that's also fine. The tour guide will send the meeting time and other relevant information to the group chat. The tour guide is also very helpful in taking photos and provides suggestions for restaurants, shops, and sightseeing routes.
From the rainy day we set off to the day when the weather was almost clearing up by the time we arrived at our first destination, it was clear that this trip was destined to be perfect. The day's itinerary only included three locations, and each location had enough time to fully experience. On the bus, our guide, Suke, explained the history of each location, helped with taking photos, and relayed the meeting time and parking location. Suke and the itinerary were fantastic. Highly recommended!
Nous avons réservé sur Kkday. L’emplacement est dans une boutique qui vend du matcha et des produits au Matcha. L’expérience était complète et rapide. Nous étions les seuls « élèves ». Après une explication des coutumes durant la cérémonie du thé, nous avons pu produire de la poudre de matcha puis créer un thé chaud au Matcha. Le tout était assorti de trois types de sucreries. Les vendeuses de la boutique parlent peu anglais mais se font très bien comprendre.
