Reviews: Kyoto Arashiyama 1-day Tour [Sagano Scenic Railway, Bamboo Forest Path, Tenryu-ji Temple] Visit Hidden Gems
Guest User2025-07-03
The trip to Lushan + Sanqianyuan booked this time was great. Traveling with a baby, there was almost 37 degrees of high temperature that day, and at least 3-4 degrees was lower in the Sanqianyuan. The three thousand yards were full of green eyes, and many people were posing there. There are many more people in Lushan than 3,000 courtyards. It is recommended to have lunch here. Many restaurants only accept cash. Remember to bring cash. Children with children are best to book the tickets for Lushan trains in advance. The customer service of the root travel agency asks what time it is more convenient to book. The small train travel time is 1 hour. We also saw someone drifting from the small train, but there is no time. Come next time. The tour guide Liu Ling wants to say in particular, the car is very enthusiastic to explain to everyone, before the train time, he also took everyone to the station, the small train came back and presented the children Lushan small refrigerator stickers.★

Reviews: [Optional Universal Studios Japan/JR Pass] Deluxe Have Fun in Kansai Pass 1 Week Free Pass
Guest User2025-12-05
Maximum Value for USJ & Osaka Sightseeing!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars (Excellent)
Version Used: Deluxe Pass (USJ & Transport Combo)
My Itinerary Highlights: Universal Studios Japan + Popcorn Bucket, Abeno Harukas 300, Umeda Sky Building, KIX Limousine Bus (arrival), and HARUKA Limited Express (departure).
I highly recommend the Have Fun in Kansai Premium Pass, specifically the Deluxe version that includes Universal Studios Japan (USJ). For a trip that focuses on major Osaka attractions and requires convenient airport transfers, this pass is an absolute no-brainer for maximizing value.★
