Top Japan Day Trips

What a great experience on 09 June with a local tour guide. I hope I recall your name correctly, Hana San who also has work experience with Fujitsu. Being the only guest on this tour, meant I got the full attention of the team, from setting the pace, to learning a lot more about the attractions and their history in a 1 on 1 experience and to sharing some of our personal stories as well. We started with the tour of Zenkoji temple and it's surrounds which included other temples and stores that used local produce to create local delicacies. That was followed by a short walk to the sake tasting and that in itself was quite a great experience, learning about the different ways sake is made and how different levels of refinement are achieved. Next was a sumptuous lunch, a full course meal, at an upmarket and serene venue away from the city close to the snow monkeys. After lunch, we took a brisk stroll to view the monkeys, the gods smiled on us that day, offering great weather and a perfect close up of the snow monkeys, many with young offspring, presenting many perfect photo opportunities. Sadly, the day had to end but it was money very well spent and a moment that I will always cherish.

Great tour. You will get to see the Peace Park to include the Atomic Bomb Dome. Rino was the guide - awesome! Enthusiastic, friendly, and funny. Allowed enough time to see the sites. Never felt rushed. Miyajima Island was fascinating. Opt for visiting the temple and the shrine versus shopping! Bring your walking shoes. You will get your steps in!

We had an excellent tour of Osaka with Davin and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Davin’s knowledge was outstanding and he was able to answer every question we had with confidence and detail. He actively welcomed questions throughout the tour, which made the experience feel engaging, interactive, and personalised. The historical aspects of the tour were particularly fascinating. Davin brought Osaka’s history to life in a way that was both informative and enjoyable, making it easy to stay interested throughout. He also provided genuine local insight and recommendations that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. This has been our favourite tour so far in Japan and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Osaka. We will definitely be recommending this exact tour to friends and family who are planning a trip to Japan. Thank you, Davin, for such a memorable experience!
