ガイドも参加者もほぼ外国人で唯一日本人がいて心強かったツアーでした。ガイド解説は、中国語は長いのに明らかに日本語はその1/3で終わってしまうのでもう少し日本語を話せてもらえたらなと思いました。びわ湖バレイはこの時期は行けないことを書いてもらえたら良かったです。一番楽しみにしていたので。ガイドも運転手さんも気さくな方だったので結果的には楽しめました。

楽しみにしていた白浜海中展望塔でした、天候は良かったのでどんな魚が見えるかなと思っていました。が、白浜近辺は波も穏やかでした。ところが日本から遠く離れた所の台風の影響で海中の波、流れが激しくて海の水が濁ってほとんど魚は見えませんでした。入館料は半額の400円で済みました。再チャレンジです。 でも自然の力にはビックリでした。

全体的にはよかったのですが、夕方の六甲山がただ景色見て終わりで時間が余り過ぎてもったいないと思いました。50〜60分位何もせず駅やバスのイスに座ってるだけで、時間のロスだと思いました。 だったら直前の有馬温泉の時間を長くとってくれるか、早めに神戸市内戻って車窓観光してくれたらいいのに、と思いました。 ガイドさんは優しくてよかったです。

Blessed with an abundance of underground water veins that spring up from the Momoyama Hills, Fushimi was once called "Fushimizu" (literally "fushimizu" in Japanese), and it is said that full-scale brewing began here about 400 years ago because the water was suitable for sake brewing. It flourished as a castle town and a port on the Yodo River on the Tokaido, and sake breweries with white walls stand out along the Uji River and canals. The streets of Fushimi, where you can enjoy the atmosphere of a sake brewing town, with ten-koku boats sailing among swaying willows, have been designated as the "Fushimi Minamihama Neighborhood Landscape Development District" by Kyoto City. ~Time Schedule~13:00 [Meet at the north ticket gate of Keihan Electric Railway Nakashojima Station] Meet in front of the sake barrel object located immediately after exiting the north ticket gate! This is where the tour begins! It's a flat road, but you'll be walking about 2 kilometers, so please wear comfortable shoes on the day. 13:15 [Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum] ☆Three types of sake tastings, including Daiginjo, and a special Gekkeikan sake cup included☆The building is a wooden storehouse built in the Meiji era that is still in use. You can drink the underground water used in sake brewing from the well in the courtyard. Just like Fushimi sake, it is very soft and delicious, so please try it. You will be surprised at how soft it is. In the exhibition room, you can see traditional sake brewing tools, which are designated as tangible folk cultural properties of Kyoto City. 13:50 [Fushimi Yume Hyakushu] ☆Winter limited sake ice cream included☆Shop & cafe "Fushimi Yume Hyakushu". In fact, this building is the former main store of Gekkeikan, built in the Taisho era. In addition to Gekkeikan, various Kyoto sakes and souvenirs are sold in the store. We have prepared a 3-type sake tasting set including appetizers here. 14:30 [Kizakura Kappa Country] ☆Kyoto's oldest local beer included☆ Kiizakura is famous for its sake commercials using kappa characters, but it is also the first company to make local beer in Kyoto. Therefore, in addition to the sake manufacturing process, Fushimizugura is characterized by the fact that you can tour the beer factory. After the tour, try tasting sake and beer in the lovely courtyard. 15:15 [Aburacho] ☆Authentic sake tasting set of three types☆ We have more than 80 types of sake from all 18 breweries in Fushimi, mainly ginjo sake and daiginjo sake, and more than 100 types including seasonal limited edition sake. In addition, at the sake tasting counter attached to the store, you can compare three types in small cup size as well as a glass. Just looking at the bottles will make you feel happy.

Osaka no Jin ⚔ Pilgrimage to sacred places refers to the stages of battles such as the 1614 (Keicho 19) battle "Osaka Winter Jin" and the 1615 (Genna 1) restarted battle "Osaka Summer Jin" and other battles. It is to visit places connected to Osaka Castle as sacred places with “SAMURAI STYLE”. In addition, the term ``Japan's best soldier, who acted with great courage and speed'' in that battle was a name used to praise Sanada Nobushige (Yukimura), who was loyal to his lord, did not betray him even with money or territory, and was close to Tokugawa Ieyasu during the Summer Siege in Osaka. . Yukimura Sanada shined dazzlingly as a Sengoku military commander in the battle that concluded the Sengoku period. His vivid life still fascinates many people today, and let's make a pilgrimage to the sacred place of his glorious battle at Osaka, where he was praised as ``the greatest soldier in Japan.''

[19:00] Shinsaibashi / Dotonbori area (about 1 hour, free time) Amanohashidate is one of the three most scenic spots in Japan, along with Matsushima in Mutsu and Miyajima in Aki. It is a sandbar about 3.6 kilometers long, formed by the deposition of the coast. About 8,000 pine trees of various sizes are planted, and white sand beaches stretch out on both the east and west sides. It is a special natural landscape. It is called "Amanohashidate" because it has a shape like a bridge stretching diagonally towards the sky. There is an observation deck on Mount Monju from which Amanohashidate can be seen. The mountain has a Ferris wheel and recreational facilities suitable for all ages. The view of Amanohashidate from here is called "Flying Dragon View" because it looks like a dragon flying in the sky. From here you can enjoy the vivid scenery of Amanohashidate. (Cable car ticket is at your own expense: Amanohashidate Observatory Cable Car and Monorail Combined Ticket 850 yen) Ine Village was chosen by the Japanese as one of the "18 Most Beautiful Villages in Japan". With its unique Japanese floating boathouse architecture, you can experience the original ecological scenery that cannot be experienced in tourist spots. Even today, people coexist with the sea in front of them. The clear and beautiful sea, the deep green mountains, the ever-changing colors of the sky, and the colors of the boathouses that represent Japan. These are the pure colors of nature that can only be experienced in Ine Town. The fishing village along the coast is away from the hustle and bustle and is full of simple innocence. You can experience a 25-minute cruise around Ine Bay at your own expense and even feed the seagulls. (Boats depart every hour, every 30 minutes. The fare is 1,200 yen for adults and 600 yen for children, at your own expense. A bag of food for the seagulls costs 100 yen. If the boat is cancelled due to wind or waves, you can wander around freely.) Note: There are many eagles living around Ine Funaya, so please be careful when boarding the sightseeing boat. If you see an eagle, stop feeding the seagulls immediately and put away any food you are holding to prevent the eagles from pecking at you.
