『出雲大社』日帰りバスツアー ご縁の国、島根。出雲の縁結びスポットをめぐる旅<9~1月/玉造温泉入浴付/新大阪発>by ラド観光

出雲大社日帰りバスツアー

Reviewed by: yukatqn

先日、縁結びの旅に行かせていただきました。
日帰りバスツアーとのこともあって、
朝は始発くらいの勢いでした!
新大阪駅での集合場所も迷わず着けました。
そして、ツアーがスタートっ!
まず、バスの運転手さんが2人いて、
バスの事故が多かった配慮がされていて
それだけで少し安心しました。
道中は夏休みの土曜でもあったので
渋滞していたようでしたが、気にならずに
休んでいました。島根県までは遠いなと改めて感じました。
まずはじめに八重垣神社に。
簡単なしおりがあり、何も勉強、準備をせずにきましたが、不自由なく過ごせましたっ♬
そのあとはメインの出雲大社へ。
天気も良く神聖な出雲大社の参拝も出来
最後に、玉作湯神社へいって、
願い石にお祈りをして、旅の思い出
大切な御守りを身につけることができましたっ!
出雲大社での時間は少し短く感じましたが、
他はちょうどいいぐらいの時間でした!
帰りは疲れてまた爆睡しましたっ。
旅の疲れも旅の思い出ってことで、
バスツアーの醍醐味を感じつつ、
楽しい思い出に浸ってます。
今回はツアーに参加でき楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

『出雲大社』日帰りバスツアー ご縁の国、島根。出雲の縁結びスポットをめぐる旅<9~1月/玉造温泉入浴付/新大阪発>by ラド観光

出雲大社!

Reviewed by: (#^^#)

始発の電車に乗って新大阪に着き、早朝からバスツアーが始まります。縁結びの出雲大社に、美肌の湯、ということで、参加者は女性の二人組や一人の方ばかりで、男性がいないことに驚きました。添乗員さんがそれぞれのスポットの停車前に、簡単な説明をしてくれます。
一つ目のスポットの八重垣神社では、100円で占い用紙を買い、縁の行方を占います。ほとんどの方が占いに挑戦していました。
そしてメインの二つ目のスポットでは、出雲大社と昼ご飯を含めて2時間の自由時間でした。2時間だったので駆け足でしたが、名物の割子そばとぜんざいも食べれて良かったです。
3つ目のスポットは玉作湯神社と、玉造温泉。1時間半しかなかったので、髪を洗う時間や夜ごはんを食べる時間がなかったのが少し残念でした。
渋滞で、各スポットに着く時間が予定時刻よりも遅れていましたが、それぞれの滞在時間が短くならずに、当初の予定通りとられたのが本当に良かったです。もう少しゆっくり見たかったなぁとは思いつつも、日帰りで島根まで行けて充実したツアーでした。

Kimono and Yukata Dress Up Experience with Multilingual Support in Osaka

Worth it

Reviewed by: Zee

Whilst we were in Japan we saw several places that did the yukuta/kimono dress up activity but this was by far the cheapest. The ladies who dressed us were very friendly and explained everything really well.

It's definitely worth doing it!

Edo Kiriko Glass Cutting Experience in Asakusa

Do this when in Tokyo!

Reviewed by: Meg

This was again a very tricky place to find, but in a tiny studio there were 6 stations to work at and 6 students. We were given samples to look at and choose from. It was very tricky, but very doable if you choose something simple. Downstairs was a gallery of glass work that was incredible. Very awesome and well run class. Our instructor spoke English!

  • This was very cool- There were 6 of us and we each had our own station to work at.

  • Not too bad for my first shot!

WOW! WHAT A BLAST!

Reviewed by: Meg

It was a little tricky finding the studio, but once we were there, it was PERFECT! Our instructor was awesome- so very funny and talented. We made lettuce and tempura shrimp and pumpkin. It was so very fun! We loved it so much that we went down the street to another studio and signed up on the spot to take a class on how to make an ice cream parfait!

Japanese Plastic Food Sample Art Experience in Tokyo

Great fun for the whole family...beautiful self-made souvenirs

Reviewed by: B Lau

It was a wonderful experience for our family! The booking process on Veltra was straight forward and most importantly, in English. We decided to make mini ice cream sundaes as they were small and easy to bring home. We received the confirmation email on the very same day. On the actual day, the train line that we needed to take was down due to passenger injury. Thus we needed to change 5 different JR and metro lines to get to the place, instead of the original 2. We called Yamato sample workshop to inform them and they were very kind to wait for us. When we finally made our way there, we were pleasantly surprised that the instructor could speak English quite well. We could customised our sundaes by picking the colour and "fruits"we wanted. The instructor guided us step-by-step, and we found it really easy to follow his instructions. We were so proud of our own creation! If we were to visit Tokyo again, we would like to try own hands at making either a bowl of ramen or tempura prawns with lettuce. :)

Elegant Kimono Photo Shoot Experience in Tokyo

You should do it!

Reviewed by: HappyHawaiian

Wear a real kimono? Check that off the bucket list and preserve those memories in one easy experience. The studio is conveniently located near to Meguro station, within walking distance, even for a two and three year old. The two owners are fluent in English and were EXCELLENT in helping to prepare and photograph my rambunctious toddlers...not an easy feat! Our family looked GREAT and the pictures are fantastic!

My only caution is that although the description reads "40 cuts", you actually only receive your top two choices and need to pay more in order to have all of your pics put onto a cd. It was still a reasonable price, it's just that we weren't expecting additional costs prior to arriving, although it was made clear to us at the beginning of the session.

All in all, the ladies went above and beyond to give us a wonderful family experience.

Reply from activity provider

Dear HappyHawaiian, thank you very much for your review. We are very happy that you had a great time here. Yes, we had a very good time with your kids as well! And I really apprecaite your advice about the price. I've been thinking how to clearly state about the price of all of the pictures (with my limited English ability). We consider it and will state clearly for our customers' satisfaction. Arigato-gozaimasu :)

Sumida river cruise

Reviewed by: Annie

Lovely time for our group of 25! As we chartered the boat, we chose to go up the Sumida river rather than around Tokyo Bay, but still managed to fit in Skytree and Rainbow Bridge.
Even though we arrived unexcusably late, our host was lovely and started the clock from then on for the 2 hours...brilliant, friendly service on board, nice food.
A treat not only for our visitors but the locals as well, thouroughly recommend it!

The experience was really enjoyable. The calligrapher took really took time to explain to us the process and technique. As she could not speak English we even had a translator/guide who could walk us through the explanation. At the end, we were able to draw a character on a nice paper and the calligrapher did one calligraphy for each of us. We could ask the word we wanted.

Reviewed by: Rachel

What a wonderful experience! I really enjoyed my afternoon with Yoshiichiro and Yoshiko Kuge, who patiently taught me the basics of Kintsugi over coffee and cake. Even with my limited knowledge in Japanese, the Kuges spoke enough English to clearly explain each step to me. During the lesson, we chatted about other Torontonians who have crossed paths with the Kuges, which was pretty funny. Overall, a really lovely workshop and highly recommended for those looking to do something special and unique!

I have visited Japan many times but never experienced Yakatabune boat.
It is a ery nice and complete experience. You can enjoy nice views of Tokyo Bay and a delicious traditional Japanese Dinner. The food was very fresh with Apetizers, sushis, nice tempura cooked on the boat (Vegetables, nice fishes), rice, dessert and open bar.
Nice views from the top of the boat. Few stops to make picturs of Tokyo Skey tree, Rainbow bridges. The staff is very nice and has special attention to guests. Very typical experience, not so many foreigners, lots of Japanese people. We were all very happy and there was a very good atmosphere among guests. I definitely recommend this experience!
