“The tour ddn’t feel like a “tour”. It felt like we were just dropped off at the places we wanted to see. How I wish the guides could tell us more about the history of these places. Telling the background of the places and what made it significant makes the tour interesting.”
Kyoto countryside day trip from Osaka with Ine Bay funaya, Amanohashidate pine views, and Miyama thatched village.
“We had the best experience with our guide Liu San, he explained a lot of interesting facts about the places and we were impressed by his language skills during the tour, switching smoothly from a language to another. Everything was on time, which we appreciated, we loved the amazing places that we have visited. We highly recommend our guide and especially this tour, it is a fresh get away from the crowded city to a the beautiful nature of Japan. A perfect trip for groups or solo travelers 🌺”
10-hour Kyoto day trip to Ine Bay and Amanohashidate, with funaya boat houses, optional boat and ropeway views, and Chionji fortunes.
“Everything went smoothly for the most part. The transport was quite tight initially but we found a solution. Maxey is an amazing guide, constantly interacting with everyone, introducing himself, knowledge of various people's customs, interests etc... He was able to pick up on my NFL shirt and dived into a sports conversation. I would definitely recommend this tour if anyone I know is visiting Osaka or Kyoto and hopefully they get Maxey as a guide.”

Full-day coast tour from Kyoto to Ine Bay and Amanohashidate, with Funaya views, a boat ride, temple stops, and plenty of exploration time.
“We had a fun tour with guide Steven exploring the coastal areas near Kyoto. The tour was given in Chinese and English, but he sent all the pertinent background info and meetup times/places in WhatsApp to avoid confusion. The tour was self guided at each location, although background was provided ahead of time. The scenery was beautiful and it was a lovely break from the heat and crowds of Kyoto.”
Full-day trip from Kyoto or Osaka to Amanohashidate and Ine, with Chion-ji temple, great seaside views, and optional boat and ropeway.
