There are so many temples on Mount Koya. The famous graveyard is also massive. The scene is mysterious. It takes about two hours by train from Osaka, but you are in another world once you arrive. You can learn about Buddhism in Japan while immersed in a unique atmosphere there. Mt. Koya is the headquarters of the Shingon sect of Japanese esoteric Buddhism. High Priest Kukai founded it and began building temples here. I will explain why the Japanese people love Kukai.

Tour of Osaka-jo Castle
Osaka
4 hours
(Highlights) The present castle building looks beautiful, powerful and in perfect harmony with the surrounding environment. However, it was the venue of hegemony, bloody conflicts and natural disasters for many centuries. Once you visit the castle, you will be amazed at the magnificent structures, huge moats and the beautiful natural environment. The view from the top of the eight-storied donjon is splendid. You can reach there either by going up the steep stairways or taking an elevator ride. The castle is in the heart and the landmark of Osaka city, where many modern buildings stand. (How to enjoy) You can enjoy a leisurely walk along the one-kilometer road leading to the castle after you get off the train and, once inside the precincts, you cannot spare even a moment without marveling at the sight of an ancient technology and human wisdom, as well as the huge rocks building up the protection walls. Not only seeing the buildings, you can also sit on the grass and enjoy having lunch with your family members or friends. (Others) The entrance fee is 600 yen per person and the JR Osaka Loop Line train fare is 300 yen for the ride from Osaka to Osaka-jo-koen station. The fare for the ride between Kyoto and Osaka, meanwhile, is 510 yen.

Osaka Nightlife Tours
Tour of Osaka Tenjin-matsuri Festival / Cruising on the river
Osaka
4 hours
(Highlights) Held in the evening of July 25 each year, this festival attracts more than a million spectators. Dozens of rafts full of invited, kimono-clad people towed by small boats go upstream the major river in the heart of Osaka, while on-lookers watch from the river bank, nearby bridges and the pier. There stand stalls selling varieties of food, filling in every nook and corner of the river bank. Thousands of fireworks are shot up into the night sky to the great enjoyment of visitors. (Origin of the festival) The myth says that in the year 951, two years after God descended from heaven and settled in the Tenmangu Shrine, they flowed a sacred float in the river from the nearby beach and a funeral hall was built and "misogi" purification ceremony held at the shore where the float reached. Then, those living near the shrine and worshipers built a ship to contributed to the shrine. (How to enjoy) You can see rafts full of "yukata"-clad people in the festive mood on board slowly going upstream the river, while being soaked in the cool evening atmosphere. After dark, fireworks setting the skies ablaze make you sigh in joyful excitement. You can have whatever food you like at the stalls built in the riverbank. (Transportation) The JR train fare from Kyoto station to Osaka station is 560 yen and the subway fare, 180 yen. (Others) Since the venue is very crowded, please do your utmost in protecting yourself from being bumped by others and from theft. If you are there on the days other than the festival day, you can enjoy cruising on board a sightseeing ship called "Osaka water-bus" for a fee of 1,700 yen for one-hour ride. You can see the landscape of Osaka city from different angles as the ship sails along the river. Daytime only, however.

“Great day with Atsuko ”
Our group of 7 had an amazing experience with Atsuko on her tour in Osaka! She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, making the entire experience both enjoyable and enriching. Atsuko’s deep understanding of Osaka’s history, culture, and hidden gems truly brought the city to life. Whether we were exploring historic landmarks, bustling markets, or peaceful neighborhoods, she shared fascinating stories and insights that made each stop memorable. What stood out most was Atsuko’s ability to tailor the tour to the group’s interests and pace, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and engaged. Her warmth and genuine enthusiasm for Osaka shone through, making it feel like I was exploring the city with a close friend. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover the authentic charm of Osaka. Atsuko’s passion for her city is contagious, and I left with not only incredible memories but also a deeper appreciation for this vibrant city.

(57 reviews)Hello Ms. Susan, Thank you for joining my tour yesterday. I really appreciate your kind words and review. I enjoyed the Osaka tour with you, your family, friends, and your ship's friends. We changed the Kyoto tour to Osaka tour. Your decision was great for us. Everyone relaxed and had a wonderful time in Osaka. I am happy to hear you truly enjoyed this tour. Please visit Kyoto next year as you mentioned. I am looking forward to seeing you next November. Please the rest of your journey and say hello to everyone. Thank you. Best regards, Atsuko
“A fishing trip to remember...”
Thanks to Tomo my interest in going fishing in the mountains in Japan came true. Thankfully the autumn colours were on show surrounding the fishing location which was a bonus as we had not seen much colour during our tour of Japan. Tomo was a great help in arranging the entry to the fishing ponds and after we had caught enough then arranging for the fish to be prepared three ways for lunch, which was very delicious. Tomo has excellent English language skills, and is someone who is very easy to chat with, which made for a very enjoyable day. In terms of the overall day, I didn't plan enough after the fishing to get full use of the time available, although a detour to a shopping centre on the way back did allow us to stock up on packaged food items to bring back as treats. Overall, we were very happy that we had Tomo as our guide and the trout fishing and it's setting were very memorable. Whilst Tomo's passion is the outdoors (of which Japan has truly exceptional tracts of it), I would strongly recommend him as a guide for a range of tour options. Thank you Tomoe for a memorable day.
“Nice person, perhaps an off day”
Unfortunately, our experience did not match the rave reviews we read prior to booking. Toshi is a nice, gentle person, but was perhaps too passive and tentative during our time together. WFor example, we ended up taking the lead to find the correct subway to get to our first destination. It's possible that he was very tired that day, because he did not capture the vibrancy and energy of Osaka. We have traveled extensively and have hired guides in 5 continents. This was one of the few times that our expectations were not met.
