Klook bought a three-day Kansai mini pass for $145, which also comes with an eSIM. It mainly goes to Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe, which is very convenient.

I came to Osaka on a free trip, but it was difficult to tour many places in Kyoto, but there was a perfect travel course on Clock. I came out to Dotonbori early in the morning and was surprised and confused by the huge crowd, but thanks to the guide (Pico) who guided me and shared Pico's interesting information and text messages, I had a useful and enjoyable trip. I loved how he took pictures everywhere he went and was busy going. I wish he had eaten with me like a son, but it was such a shame. My wife was also very satisfied, and it was a trip that I recommended to others. I was surprised again that all the people I went with were Koreans..ㅎㅎ Thank you for your hard work, Pico.

The quality of the food is quite good and there are plenty of choices, in addition to meat, there are many other different food options, however the serving is slower and there are cases of missing orders.

I like the one-day tour very much. You don’t have to worry about transportation. The tour also includes a meal and there are many places to go. The tour guide gave you a lot of information about where to go. You can go to more places and buy food and souvenirs. Then Catch the next attraction and enjoy the whole trip
