Reviews
Great day trip. Mayumi was excellent at explaining in detail Mt. Koya's history. She did an excellent job with the logistics of the transportation since we has to take the train, cable car and bus and timing our walk. We were very pleased.
Our guide seemed new. She was just a person to get us from Osaka to Mt. Koya on the right mode of transportation. She did not offer any meaningful background or insight to our visit to Okunion or the temples. We actually could have done the trip on our own using a guide book. Secondly, we were only a group of four people on the tour. The other couple had to stop at their lodging to check-in when we arrived at Koyasan. We were not informed of this until we arrived at Koyansan. It did not take much time, but it would have been appreciated if we had been informed. We always felt rushed on this tour. Even with the unexpected extra stop, we finished the tour early. Not very well organized or planned. It was a disappointing day.
