You can see different scenery and buildings during the trip. The ride arrangement is comfortable. The tour guide's reservation time is accurate. This itinerary is worth recommending.

Easy to find the meet up point and tour started on time at 7.10am. A mini bus took 14 paxs on the trip with one guide that could speak japanese and chinese. He could speak english too but since most of the guest understood chinese, that was the language used. It was a 4 hour bus ride to the destination and there was only 1 toilet break in between for 15 mins. Upon arrival at the location, we were given 3 hours to explore on our own. Not much information was given about where to find food but there was a map on the recommended sights to see on the journey to Nachi falls. Recommend stopping for tea and mochi at the foot of the temple before attempting the steep stairs. There will be sufficient time to have lunch after exploring Nachi Falls at the restaurant opposite the bus pickup point.

Although the journey is a bit long! But it's worth going. The tour leader is also very patient with latecomers. If you have the chance, you must go to the Kumano Kodo

The tour guide is very good and takes care of the elderly throughout the whole process👍🏼The scenery is elegant and full of spiritual energy, the waterfall is very surging, although the weather is very hot, it is still worth coming

Both the waterfall and the shrine make the difficult mountain climbing journey very worthwhile! I like the endless summer in the pool the most, so beautiful and colorful, seeing them, the breathless tourists also find peace in the heat.

First of all, the meeting place is easy to find. It is right near the Shinkansen entrance of Nagoya Station. At 7 o'clock in the morning, I saw the tour guide holding a flag, which was very reassuring! The journey takes four hours. After about two hours, you will stop for a 15-minute rest at a rest stop. When you arrive at the destination, the tour guide will explain the map route in detail and lead everyone along. After walking to Nachi Falls, you can see the car and the tour guide. It is a perfect trip!

meetup place is very clear on Klook booking. No guide, only the driver who is able to speak Japanese, Chinese and English. 🤓 he clearly gives instructions and the whole trip is worth to go…..

We have plenty of time to climb the mountain, and we also have time to eat, but I think we can insert a small scenic spot (special rest stop, etc.). The leader has followed us to climb the mountain, so we are not afraid of going the wrong way👍👍👍
