Reviews: Himeji Castle + Koko-en + Arima Onsen + Mount Rokkō 1-day tour [including meals]
Guest User2025-07-11
Henry service is super good, warm and thoughtful, and Nick is also good, along the way and the group friends introduce each attraction different situations, especially in the horse hot spring and we share all the way, feel at home! Henry is professional in place, and now such a responsible and enthusiastic tour guide is rare. It is commendable. Another Taiwanese group friend along the way shares it. The whole journey is happy and happy, and it is worth going!★

Reviews: [Official Ticket] JR PASS Kansai Area 1/2/3/4-Day Rail Pass - Electronic Redemption Voucher (Includes HARUKA, Keihan Railway, Hankyu Railway, Kyoto Subway)
Guest User2026-01-21
This time, since we were going to ski at Hong Kong Hill, which is quite far from Osaka, we bought this JR Pass, which was very cost-effective. A round trip would normally cost around 6,000-7,000 yen, so this basically saved us half the price. I recommend buying GRP tickets if you're traveling to distant places in Japan, as they generally save you money, and if you buy tickets for multiple trips, they often include some premium fares.★

Guest User2025-12-27
This was a very worthwhile booking, perfect for people who want to visit multiple places. Plus, you don't need to use the tickets on consecutive days, making trip planning very easy. I used them in Osaka, Nara, and Kyoto. Very convenient! 👍👍👍★

Reviews: Half-day Himeji Castle Town Bike Tour with Lunch
Guest User2025-11-18
Highly recommend. Had Chie as a guide. She was awesome both with dealing with logistics getting into everything and arranging lunch and tea ceremony. She was very knowledgeable and explained the significance and history of all the places we visited. Lunch was a great kaiseki lunch. Chie made the tour interesting and the biking manageable.
