It is clean and well-cleaned. I booked a room for 4 people, but they gave me a room next to my house on the same floor. The security was also good. I plan to stay here again when I visit Osaki next time.

This is the best observatory in Osaka. There are department stores and shopping malls nearby, so you can conveniently enjoy shopping, dining, and sightseeing. Don't miss the heliport tour. The Harukas 300 Observatory was a great tour.

If it's your first time in Kyoto, I think you can't help but think about a bus tour. It has the advantage of being able to visit several places in one day. However, it also has the disadvantage of having a short stay time. There were times when time was a bit tight, but fortunately, there was no problem looking around. Guide Kim Hyo-ryeong led the tour, and she was a really satisfying guide. It was nice that she explained the tourist attractions, gave cautions, and told interesting stories. She also helped with taking pictures that weren't in the product description at each tourist attraction, and it was great that she kindly answered and helped customers with travel questions unrelated to the tourist attractions. Among the many bus tours, Dayentrip was the tour that I received the most friendly recommendation from Chatgpt, and I think it was accurate. However, since it's a group tour, the bus boarding time can be inconvenient depending on the level of the participating customers, but the guide was the best, so I was able to have a good time. It was a satisfying tour!

It was a really fun trip to Kyoto. If you are visiting for the first time and are feeling overwhelmed, I highly recommend that you consider it as a stepping stone for your future independent travel in Kyoto and experience it. Next time I visit another part of Japan, I plan to take a bus tour and then do an independent trip.

It is very cost-effective to use this package to travel to Kurama Kizan in Kyoto. You can take the train for a short distance and you can also see the beautiful scenery of maple leaves.

Along with the car on the real road, the kart can actually go very fast. The boy who drove us had to keep pressing the accelerator to keep up with him🤣It was really exciting! ! ! If the sun is out, remember to wear sunglasses to avoid danger. You will look like a star in the eyes of tourists and passers-by. It’s great.

Using Jr Pass to travel across prefectures is always the most convenient and cost-effective. Klook also comes with Okayama Art Festival tickets and e-sim this time, but my itinerary only goes to Kurashiki and not to Okayama. This time I chose to redeem the pass at Kyoto Station. It is recommended to leave some time so that you can find the redemption point at a glance.

Last time I went to Kyoto, I didn’t have enough time to take the Eizan Tram. After waiting for several years, I finally had the opportunity to enjoy the scenery of Kibune Shrine. It is very convenient to buy the ticket before departure and collect it immediately when you arrive at the redemption point.
