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.

The tour guide's explanations were fantastic! Humorous yet insightful, he told the history and culture of each attraction like captivating stories. Listening to his commentary on the bus made me eager to explore as soon as I got off. The itinerary was also excellent, connecting multiple attractions within a limited timeframe. The pace was tight but not rushed, making it perfect for those with limited time who want to see as much as possible!

Although the direct flight is tired, it saves the trouble of connecting flights. Although the hotel may be full of free choice, if you have done enough homework, you can still book a hotel with a high cost performance.

I brought my elderly friends here to celebrate my grandmother and grandfather's 80th birthday. Our guide, Yuri, was very kind and helpful, and the driver drove very well and took such good care of the elderly. Thank you. Of course, he found great travel spots and explained things well, and we had a really fun time. If I come again, I would like to meet our guide, Yuri, again.
Very convenient to use. This time I used the Keihan Railway + Osaka Subway combination. I forgot my wallet and had to go back to get it, but luckily I didn't have to pay extra for transportation. It's suitable for first-time travelers who are unfamiliar with the transportation system, as you don't have to worry about missing your stop and wasting money. In the morning, I took the subway to Yodoyabashi and transferred to the Keihan Railway to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. On the way back, I visited Fushimi Inari, Tofuku-ji Temple, and Uji. Very cost-effective.
