21% of the group were Chinese, and Ms. He led the trip. The family was very satisfied, and the tour leader was considerate of the group members. Due to the hot weather and the lack of comfortable air conditioning on the bus, they urgently contacted another vehicle to arrange for replacement.
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!
We added a photoshoot package to our order for the first time. We chose this studio because we were worried about rain, and if it rained, the photos might not look as good, so we weren't really keen on going. This studio was one of the few that allowed free cancellation a day in advance, giving us some flexibility during our trip! Although there seemed to be a slight mishap during the photographer's consultation, the photographer who did the shoot was very nice and was very helpful with the subsequent retouching!
