A perfect day - This trip was really special. We drove a comfortable air-conditioned minibus, the weather was wonderful and on the way to Amanohashidate there were already beautiful views of the hills, mountains and rice fields of Kyoto. The guides were very friendly and dedicated. Taehoon is the best rider I've experienced so far. The guide Sangmin from South Korea was very attentive and translated everything into English for me. On the way we stopped at a station wagon. This one had many nice souvenirs or even food on the go. Amanohashidate with its wonderful views from Miyazu (Viewland) is simply worth a visit. You can go up the mountain with a cable car or by chairlift. The round trip costs only 1,000 yen. I'm up on the train and down on the elevator. That was a good decision. It brought a lot of fun and the opportunity for many souvenir photos. The sandbar after which Amanohashidate was named (sky bridge) is exceptional. The white beach really paints a path into the sea. A boat trip is also possible there or just a walk on the sandbank or an exploration of the place with some shops. Then we went to Ine No Funaya. This is a fishing village on a bay. Romantic location with the green hills in the background. There you can explore a long history of the life of the local fishermen, have a coffee in the famous café by the water or just wander around. The houses are impressive. There is always a boat garage in the area to the water. I did my boating there at the port. Simply approach a boat captain and off you go the small boat trip with wonderful views of the sea and village. The cost is 1,000 yen and it is worth it. We fed the seagulls and were able to capture beautiful pictures and videos. I was thrilled with this offer and would like to thank Sangmin and Taehoon once again.

Very enjoyable trip - This trip is a present to myself for my retirement. This was my first time on a bus tour and had a great time on this day tour. Well planned with an appropriate amount of time. Thanks to the friendly guide, it was interstedting stories about the history of the tourist spots and Japan. Thank you for taking great pictures at the photo zone. Very enjoyable trip.

Another charm of Kyoto-Amanohasitate - This was a tour to xperience another charm of Kyoto. Unlike temples and shrines, it was amazing tour to enjoy the scenery. Small group and feel like a private tour, flexbile.. everyone was early and we started tour 10mins early and our guide was good at managing the time.
