Our tour guide was Very social and informative. It was fun to get to these out of the way place we wouldn’t have gone otherwise. The lunch was fun, the additional seafood dishes were not to my taste but an interesting experience.
Feeding the seagulls may have been the best part! (get a bag of crackers when they offer them)
Overall an awesome addition to our Japan trip

Beautiful places but not enough time in any
All the places we visited are beautiful. The only problem is that there are too many and we didn't get to spend more than 20 minutes in each. The vast majority of the tour you're just in a bus. Maybe focus on locations that are closer to each other so we don't have to be in the bus for 80% of the tour.

Nice day
Interesting places visited. Great nature. A little bit of narrative about the shrines and temples would be welcome.

Day Trip
Harie our tour guide was absolutely phenomenal, incredibly personable and we enjoyed having him on our trip.
However, the trip itself is heavily overpriced. The seats on the bus are incredibly small and compact. If you do not eat seafood, your options are limited for lunch. It’s a lot of driving, upwards of 4+ hours total for the day. The group was also split in half, with only a few English speakers and the rest Mandarin which felt exclusive and made explanations feel separated. The sights we saw weren’t that great, I feel like the internet overhyped the appeal of the cities, and I don’t think it is personally worth your time. I would not take this trip again unfortunately. Honestly kind of surprised the trip was ranked so highly

If you would like to explore some tranquil and beautiful nature in Japan…this one is for you!
We had a very full and long day with wonderful guide Eric today. Mixed group of international visitors, including many guests from China. All commentary was bilingual English/Mandarin, but the small multicultural group made the experience even more special. Rather long bus rides from Osaka, but the wonderful nature around all destinations certainly made the day worthwhile. Great premium lunch experience with red crab and various Japanese dishes included.

Good trip. Excellent lunch provided
The trip is well thought out. Itinerary was nice and the lunch provided was amazing. It was a sit down lunch with three course menu. The quality was excellent and we enjoyed it.

Kasamatsu Park & Kayabuki no Sato
Kasamatsu Park was the highlight of this tour. The views were amazing - I didn't see the dragon though haha. Harry was a great tour guide - he was informative and was always eager to help. Kayabuki no Sato was also great to see - all the thatched roof houses and history was very interesting. Highly recommend this tour and the guide Harry!
