I went on a public holiday, and although it was crowded, the ropeway was arriving frequently, so I was able to board without waiting.
The scenery is beautiful, and I think it's a fantastic location on a sunny day.
There's also a newly developed area where you can relax while enjoying the view of Kobe city below, making it highly recommended for those who want to spend some leisurely time.
The flight from Osaka to Hakata is direct, takes just over two hours, has comfortable seats, affordable fares, and frequent departures. If you have large luggage, it's easy to reserve a seat at the counter or at the airport on the same day; just follow the signs.
Before departure, an administrator will contact you and add your driver information. It's very convenient to contact them via Line. The drivers will arrive early and all speak Chinese, so communication is not a problem at all. The chartered car is also very spacious and comfortable. I will definitely book again if I need it next time!
The journey was time-consuming, but every theme was so much fun and amazing! One day wasn't enough; I definitely want to go again. It was absolutely worth it!
Highly recommended for families traveling with children! Changing flight times is extremely convenient, eliminating worries about flight delays and saving a lot of queuing time. When entering the station, you can scan your child's barcode first to let them pass, then scan the barcodes of accompanying family members, and finally swipe your card to enter. The whole process is smooth and convenient! Exiting the station follows the same process. Just make sure your internet connection is working after you get off the plane, otherwise you won't be able to scan your card to enter the station!
Driver Bian was very nice, with excellent driving skills and punctuality. The car was comfortable, and the point-to-point service was very convenient, eliminating the need for us to find our way. Because it was raining that day, we wanted to change our itinerary, and Bian was happy to contact the company to see if we could make some minor adjustments.
It's very convenient to travel from Kansai to Hiroshima in just 5 days, covering many places. However, the exchange location could be more clearly stated. In Kobe, you can only exchange currency at Sannomiya Station to catch the Shinkansen from Shin-Kobe Station; you cannot exchange currency at Shin-Kobe Station.
First time taking the round-trip ticket to Himeji Castle.
Electronic tickets saved me the trouble of picking up tickets.
I really liked this way of traveling.
It's also cheaper and more welcoming to foreign travelers.
I recommend Himeji Castle; it's beautiful.
It's not far from the station on foot.
