Top Osaka Bus Tours - page 3

We loved our guided day tour of Kyoto with Riku. We focused on the most well known temples and shrines, and we were able to see a lot more in one day thanks to our guide’s local knowledge of how to move around in the city. He was very knowledgeable about the sites as well as Japanese history, his English is great, and he also had great local food and coffee shop recommendations. Highly recommend!

Everything was as promised and went as planned. There were people to meet us in Osaka at the Shinkansen station to give us tickets, and also accompanied us to the platform and made sure we got on the right train. Then the HIS guide was waiting to meet us as soon as we got off the bullet train in Hiroshima. Her name was Minori, and she did a highly adequate job of taking care of us until we boarded the bullet train back to Osaka in the evening. She first took us to the Hiroshima Peace Park and Museum by bus for the rest of the morning. We then had a really nice lunch in a restaurant overlooking Miyajima island. They provided us with with an okonimayake menu, a local speciality, which was delicious. The afternoon was in Miyajima island, a visit to the amazing shrine with the enormous Torii gate on the beach. It was low tide when we went, and so we could walk all the way out to the gate. We got back to the Hiroshima station about 30-45 mins earlier than expected, and the guide helped not only us, but several others, get on an earlier train back to Osaka. The service provided throughout the trip was amazing and much appreciated.

Lee is great - keeps a very large group organized but in a fun way! The stops were perfect, with just about enough time at each spot - would like to have had a bit more time at Amanohashidate but that’s no reflection on Lee! This was one of my most favorite days so far here in Japan! Thank you!!!
