Chionji Temple

Many thanks to our tour guide, Mr. Gu Wenji, for leading the way and providing such professional commentary. We experienced the beautiful scenery of Amanohashidate and Ineshuya, and the boat trip to feed the seagulls was very fun! But be careful of seagull droppings though 🤣 The most convenient thing is that you can freely choose your pick-up and drop-off points and bring one piece of luggage for free. I highly recommend booking this tour!

This day trip was truly enjoyable, and I was so lucky to have such a wonderful tour guide! The weather was fantastic on the day of departure, the vehicle was spotless, and the air conditioning was perfectly comfortable, making the entire journey very pleasant. Our guide, Gu Wenji, was incredibly kind and attentive, and speaks Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, so communication was no problem at all. He provided detailed explanations of the history and origins of the attractions along the way, shared recommendations for nearby restaurants, must-buy souvenirs, and delicious food in Osaka and Kyoto. The thoughtful guide even gave us special recommendations for things to try at Japanese convenience stores, helping us avoid making any bad choices – it was incredibly useful! You could feel how attentive the guide was to everyone, paying attention to our needs and making the whole trip safe and enjoyable. Finally, a special thank you to the driver; he must have worked so hard driving such a long distance all day! Thank you both for making this a fulfilling and enjoyable day.

For traveling with elders, this is indeed a good choice for visiting more remote tourist attractions in Japan; the half-crab seafood meal was quite good, and the itinerary time was well-managed. My favorite part was the Ine Bay boat trip feeding the seagulls, even though the tour guide was very good at taking photos. Highly recommended!

The Kyoto Amanohashidate tour was beautiful, and the tour guide was very responsible, providing a lively bilingual (Chinese and English) tour that kept the conversation engaging and catered to tourists from all over the world. The tour was truly a wonderful experience, and the guide deserves a lot of credit. The only drawback was that the tour bus seats were too cramped and the journey was long, making it uncomfortable for everyone.

Our tour guide, Mr. Liao, speaks fluent Mandarin and English, enabling him to communicate effectively with all the guests. During the trip, he first explained the rules for the bus, then introduced the history, features, and must-try foods at each attraction. At the Igen Boat House, he introduced the self-service option of buying a bag of shrimp chips for 100 yen to feed the seagulls and eagles, highlighting the fun of feeding birds up close. Mr. Liao even taught the guests how to distinguish between seagulls and eagles. While having coffee, the guide helped urge the staff to serve the food quickly, allowing guests ample time to enjoy the scenery while savoring their coffee and cakes. At Amanohashidate, the guide reminded us of the cable car's uphill and downhill times, maximizing the time available for sightseeing and photography. Finally, because my friend had foot pain, we are grateful for Mr. Liao's thoughtful care; he provided her with pain relief patches, allowing her to complete the trip. In conclusion, the guide's explanation of the background information at each attraction made the experience more immersive, making this day tour well worth it.
