This place is very satisfying for car enthusiasts with a rich collection. It has about four floors and is a bit far from the JR station, but it's still quite convenient. Parking is free if you have your own car.
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!
The hotel pick-up and drop-off service was a huge help, and the flexible pick-up and drop-off points were perfect for groups of around 5 people traveling with elderly relatives and children. It eliminated the need for constant transfers and rushing between buses. In addition, the driver, Mr. Wang, was not only considerate but also knowledgeable and adept at handling conversations with the older guests. Besides clearly explaining the planned attractions, he also flexibly added nearby sights based on available time. The overall experience was fantastic, and I would definitely book again.
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. ^_^
We used their one-day private charter service from Osaka to Nara and Kyoto, and it was one of the best decisions we made during our trip. Our driver, Mr. Han, was exceptionally professional, punctual, and reliable.
Traveling with children can sometimes be challenging, but Mr. Han went above and beyond by providing shortcut walking routes and helpful local tips that saved us both time and energy throughout the day. During the trip, before each drop-off, he would send us the next pickup location
