Reviews: Japan Discovery Tour: Lake Biwa , Shirahige Jinja,Observation Deck, Mangetsu-ji Temple, Ukimidō

Thank you to our tour guide, Ms. Wang Ting. She was very nice, especially since we brought our baby on the tour. We also want to thank the Japanese driver for helping us with the stroller. The itinerary allowed us to choose our own activities at each attraction. Since we were traveling with our baby, we opted for a more relaxed pace, and the travel time between attractions was short. My daughter particularly enjoyed the Baumkuchen factory, which many people don't like; she played there for quite a while, and it was also a great place for taking photos. Going on a tour was so much more convenient and cheaper than traveling independently!

Highly recommend this tour! Our guide, Bunny, was incredibly enthusiastic and even took photos with us! She provided very detailed explanations of the attractions and local customs, and was very attentive to the group members, checking on them frequently. 👍 The itinerary was also well-planned.

Our tour guide, Naomi, provided us with information the day before and answered all our questions. During the tour, when she noticed I'd missed taking a photo, she even went back to the spot with me to take one. The tofu she recommended at the Miho Museum was delicious, and I was able to buy the homemade bread she advised me to buy first, which allowed me to choose my favorites. When I looked on the way back, some of the breads were sold out. Perhaps because I was the only Japanese person on the tour, she was very kind and helpful. We encountered traffic jams due to it being during Golden Week, which caused a significant delay in our return and prevented us from going exactly as planned, but I consider that part of the travel experience.

The tour leader/driver was great; he drove smoothly, the car was new, he opened and closed doors for the entire trip, and his service was excellent.

The trip was very fulfilling, and the driver, Yu Jun, provided excellent and detailed explanations of all the attractions. 👍 I'll definitely come again next time.

This Arashiyama + Sanzenin itinerary was fantastic! Traveling with kids, the temperature reached nearly 37 degrees Celsius that day, but it was at least 3-4 degrees cooler inside Sanzenin. Sanzenin was lush and green, and many people were taking photos there. Arashiyama was much more crowded than Sanzenin, so I recommend having lunch there; many restaurants only accept cash, so remember to bring cash! For those traveling with young children, it's best to book Arashiyama Scenic Railway tickets in advance. Ask the travel agency's customer service about the most convenient time to book. The round trip by train takes one hour. We even saw people rafting from the train, but we didn't have time. Maybe next time! A special mention goes to our tour guide, Liu Ling; she was incredibly helpful on the train, providing explanations and even taking us to the station before the train departed. On the return trip, she gave the children Arashiyama refrigerator magnets.
