Previously, when traveling from Osaka to Kyoto, my instinct was to take the train or JR. This time, with a 10-year-old child, the subway and train journeys alone were exhausting. Trying a private car arrangement proved to be very advantageous: Time-saving: Directly getting from our accommodation to our destination saved a significant amount of time. Effortless: Luggage was handled, avoiding long walks and waiting times. Worry-free: The itinerary was pre-arranged, ensuring we arrived on time without worrying about missing our trains; boarding and alighting times were flexible. Cost-saving: Compared to day tour groups, our private car day trip was cheaper when split among the passengers. On the day of the trip, Kyoto was hot. We didn't have to endure the heat at the station. When we arrived, we found it too hot outside, so we boarded the car early after visiting the sights. We quickly discussed it with the driver, and they quickly adjusted the itinerary to indoor activities, avoiding a forced outdoor activity in the sun. We finished shopping and returned to the hotel satisfied within the allotted time. This experience was very satisfying. Driver Chen was a friendly and polite person, and our conversation in the car was pleasant.

For our independent trip to Osaka and Kyoto, considering the long commute to Amanohashidate and the hot weather in late July, we decided to try a day tour for the first time. We boarded the bus in Osaka at 8:30 AM, and could conveniently return by disembarking in Kyoto with our luggage. Many thanks to our guide, Qiu Hong, for her detailed explanations and thoughtful tips, including booking lunch in advance, which gave us more time to explore. The children were very excited about the boat trip and feeding the seagulls in Ine. Overall, the trip was very comfortable and enjoyable.

Amanohashidate is one of Japan's three most scenic spots. Taking the cable car to the top of the mountain offers a truly breathtaking and stunning view. Thanks to our guide, Mr. Hu, for his professional and informative explanation; I learned so much! It's a pity we were a bit rushed and couldn't fully appreciate the beauty, leaving a slight regret. I look forward to returning next time to explore Amanohashidate properly and truly experience its charm. 😊

This package ticket offers a beautiful view, and the sightseeing boat ride to feed the seagulls is a lot of fun.
