Our driver was friendly and well organised, and having a bus take us between the sites made everything really easy and convenient. The timing was perfect, with just the right amount of time at each stop.
One thing to be aware of is that this isn't a guided walking tour. There is some commentary on the bus, but the driver doesn't accompany you around the sites. We used AI to learn more about the temples and shrines as we explored, which worked really well for us. Overall, it was a nice experience.

Far from the hustle and bustle of Osaka
We were in Osaka during "Silver Week" and wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The booking was made on short notice and was a very nice experience for us. Our guide Hanazawa was very nice and explained everything to us. In addition, the information was played in the participants' native languages before the attractions. This way, you knew exactly what to expect or what to pay special attention to. The tour was one of the best on our entire trip; the fire ceremony, among other things, was very interesting. I can definitely recommend this tour, manageable group size, friendly guide, great experiences. Thank you Hanazawa.

“Koyasan will stay in my memories for a very long time”
An absolutely amazing and unforgettable tour to Koyasan. This was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. Koyasan is such a special place — peaceful, spiritual, beautiful and full of history. There is something about the atmosphere there that is difficult to describe; it is a place you have to experience for yourself.
Our guide, Hanazawa, was wonderful — very friendly, kind and incredibly knowledgeable. During the bus journey he explained the history, culture and significance of Koyasan in great detail, which made exploring the sites independently afterwards so much more meaningful. I really appreciated this style of tour because we had all the information and background we needed, but also the freedom and time to explore at our own pace.
I absolutely loved this experience and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Osaka. Koyasan will stay in my memories for a very long time. ❤️

Awesome tour
An excellent tour. Great historical information about Bhuddist in Japan and visits to some awesome temples and shrines. The walk through the Kayosan graveyard with its numberless mausoleums and towering cedars was stunning. The guide Fung did a superb job. Highly recommend.

Great experience
I really had a great time. Hanazawa was such a nice guide, he was a good driver and had put together some audio in several languages for us to listen to in the bus to make sure we all understood the basis of what Koyasan is and what it represents.
I really enjoyed that we were a smaller group, and I was lucky that my group was super nice and always in time. Honnestly, I really liked this tour and would definitely recommend it!
