Reviews: Kyoto by the Sea: Amanohashidate + Ine no Funaya + Chionji Temple Day Tour [From Osaka • Amanohashidate • Kaisen Bridge • Ine no Funaya • Chionji Temple ]
Guest User2025-05-26
I was planning a free trip to Japan by myself, and I accidentally saw this tour and applied for it.
Because I traveled by train, I had a wide pass in Kansai, so I could take the train to the area, but I applied for a one-day tour for time efficiency and convenience. You can pick up and drop off to downtown Osaka, so you can just sit still, take pictures at the photo spot, and ask questions right away. It was helpful to explain the local characteristics and ruins. You can also get recommendations for restaurants. Some of them feel more comfortable because they are Korean.
I especially recommend it to those traveling alone.
I was stressed by my acquaintances and I was traveling alone.
It was fun to have a conversation with other people for about a day on the schedule.
I've traveled to Japan a lot, and even though it's my third trip to Kansai, Inenofunaya and Amanohashidate have a new feeling.
It's still a strange place for Korean tourists, and there were many foreigners and Western tourists.
If you come, you won't regret it. I think you can feel a different charm from the popular image of Kyoto.
Coincidentally, there were only two applicants, including me, on this tour, but thank you for accompanying them without a minimum number of people.
Even one was a foreigner, so I was with two Korean guides. One drove and one interpreted.
I was able to move comfortably during my trip, and the scenery is really pretty. I recommend it.★

Reviews: JR Haruka Kansai Airport Express
Guest User2025-09-15
I'm very grateful to Ctrip for making it so convenient to buy international train tickets. I printed out the QR code and brought it with me. I redeemed my ticket at the white machine at the JR entrance of Terminal 1 at Kansai Airport. The machine has a Chinese language option. After redeeming my ticket, I entered the station through the manual channel and took the escalator down one level to Platform 3, which is where the Hello Kitty shuttle bus is located.★

Reviews: JR PASS Japan Kansai Area Rail Pass (Electronic Exchange Voucher)
Guest User2025-09-01
It is very convenient to buy the JR Kansai Pass in Japan directly on Ctrip. There is a special place in Kyoto Station where you can exchange the QR code provided by Ctrip for a redemption voucher, and then use the redemption voucher to exchange for a one-day ticket. It is highly recommended for friends who need to travel to many places in a single day!
