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!

For independent travelers, the "super pass" is a must-buy. There's almost no queue; just beep to get your ticket. Highly recommended.

Buying this ticket in Osaka is the way to go; it allows for repeated subway rides and can be used at many attractions, making it well worth the trip.

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!

It was a bit of a hassle because I ordered enough for three people, so I had to go to the bathroom every time we went in and out, resulting in a baby girl... but it was really worth it. I probably earned back the subway fare on the first day alone. Even though it's a hassle, I'll still buy it if I go to Osaka again because it's such a great deal.

The prices aren't that different. If you don't have a discount coupon, you can buy it on-site. The view is similar to that of towers in other countries; it's just a place to enjoy the scenery.
