The city’s natural beauty isn’t hard to find – at the famous Rokko mountain range you could hike pristine forest trails, soak in the Arima hot springs, or take the Rokko cable car to the summit for views all the way to Osaka! Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place.

Kyoto Full-Day Excursion from Kobe (Osaka) Port

This tour is planned for tourists from Kobe or Osaka Port. Kyoto, Nara, Himeji, Hiroshima, and Osaka are within a day-trip zone. Kyoto is recommendable for fans of Japanese history and culture. Beautiful scenery, Gion walking, and food are also fun to experience. Nara is a sanctuary for Shintoists and Buddhists, inviting you to deep spiritualism. In Osaka, you will enjoy food and young energy. People are friendly. Osaka Castle is a must-see spot. Himeji Castle is an ideal place for history fans—a half-day tour. Going around Himeji and Osaka Castle is possible, but it is a little busy. From time to time, cruise clients on the same ship ask for guides around Kyoto separately. I may ask you to share the tour with another group. In that case, your tour cost will be lower. As cruise excursions have time limitations, please contact me individually.
