Too much time in the coach
Posted Date: 2025/11/01
yes the weather was bad and the traffic also, however it felt like trying to cram too much into the day especially when doing two pick ups and drop offs an hour apart
Guide (Nick) was kind and fun. Thank you.

On June 26, I participated in the English tour with three others. "Thank you, Nick. It was fun."
Overall, it was good. Here are some points of concern:
1) We gathered more than 30 minutes early for the 9:00 AM departure from the Kyoto VIP Lounge (check-in ended 10 minutes prior), but the bus actually arrived and started at 9:30 AM.
2) I wanted more time at Nara Park. Playing with the deer was the main reason for participating, but we had no time at all after visiting Todai-ji.

3) The tours from Osaka and Kyoto should be separated. The driver was too concerned about their working hours, which made it difficult for the guide. If there wasn't a 1 to 2-hour round trip from Osaka, the tour could have been more relaxed, allowing customers to enjoy it more leisurely (especially for foreign tours). This way, we could allocate an additional 30 minutes at each point. 6/26 英語ツアーに4名で参加の村中。「Nickさん、ありがとう。楽しかったです。」

1）京都VIPラウンジ9時出発⁽10分前受付で終了）ということで30分以上前に集合したが、実際BUSが来てスタートしたのが09:30だった。

I had a great time.

I was a bit anxious before participating in the tour to Kyoto and Nara because it was only available in English, and I don't speak English very well. However, the guide was kind and helpful, which made the experience very enjoyable. I'm glad I signed up for it.参加日の京都、奈良に行くツアーが、英語ツアーしかなく、そんなに英語が喋れたりもしないので、参加する前は少し不安でしたが、ガイドさんが優しく、親切に対応してくれた事もあり、大変楽しく参加する事が出来ました。申し込んで良かったと思っています。

It seems to be a tour starting in Osaka, and the bus arrived in Kyoto 20 minutes late, which delayed the start. However, the stays at the subsequent sightseeing spots were just the right length, allowing me to show my friend the things I wanted them to see. I was really satisfied to show them Fushimi Inari and Kinkaku-ji, which I really wanted them to see. The lunch with hot pot was delicious too!
At the end in Nara, we were told that we might not have time to see the Great Buddha at Todai-ji be… It seems to be a tour starting in Osaka, and the bus arrived in Kyoto 20 minutes late, which delayed the start.

At the end in Nara, we were told that we might not have time to see the Great Buddha at Todai-ji because we were running late, and I was disappointed. However, the guide quickly took all the participants to the front of Todai-ji, so we were able to see the Great Buddha safely.
Thank you very much. If you want to take your time to look around, you might feel a bit rushed, but I think it's a good tour for those who want to cover the main sightseeing spots in a short amount of time. 大阪スタートのツアーのようで、京都には20分遅れでバスが来たので、スタートが遅れましたが、その後の観光地でもちょうどいい長さの滞在で、友人に見せたかったものを見せることができました。伏見稲荷と金閣寺は、本当に見せたかったので大満足でした。お昼の鍋も美味しかったです♪
そして最後の奈良では時間が押して東大寺の大仏を見る時間がないかもと言われたのですが、がっかりしていたら、ガイドさんが、東大寺の前まで参加者全員を連れて早歩きで連れていってくださったので、無事大仏さんも見れました。
ありがとうございました。
