Extremely enriching day. I was able to discover timeless places, magnificent places! In addition, I thank Steven, our guide, who was particularly patient because I did not arrive at the meeting place on time (I got lost 🤣) fortunately he was able to guide me by WhatsApp in order to be on time for departure! I highly recommend it!

It’s my first time to sign up for a one-day trip. The boarding location is right at the gate of Nihonbashi Exit 2. It’s easy to find. Yuk, the guide during the trip, can speak many languages. It takes more than two hours from Osaka to Amanohashidate, which is really a bit... It’s far away, but it’s quite a special experience. Since it’s in the countryside, it’s more convenient to sign up for a one-day trip. The return trip to Osaka Nihonbashi Exit 2 is around 7pm. You can also get off from Kyoto. The boarding and alighting locations are the same. If you happen to be going to Kyoto, sign up for a one-day trip and get off directly at Kyoto on the return trip. , you can save a ticket.

Buying trial coupons online is convenient and fast! Just go to the store and provide the barcode to the store. There are quite a lot of styles, so you won’t be overwhelmed by the colors on the road. It is recommended to make an appointment early to avoid the crowds~

It was an ok trip if you are planning to do just an hour to visit Kyoto and Nara. Too bad though for us as it was so hot during the tour.

You can enter directly with the ticket. If you arrive too late in the day, you can only see the night view. Judging from the picture of Kyoto, I would recommend the daytime view.
