Had read about the launch of this special train just before I visited and couldn't resist. As it turns out neither could a heap of locals and think I was just about the only foreigner on a packed trip. If you have a multi-travel JR Rail pass can be used on this train (which I did) and it can pay to book a seat. If you haven't don't cue for carriage one because this is the photo-op and souvenirs (most of which is only available on the train) carriage and there is no seating. Carriage two is totally decked out but further back not so much. Something a little different and just went for afternoon trip on this train and then came home of a normal one

Noriko was great! We took the day trip to Mount Koya, including a first stop at the Niufutsuhime Shrine, where we learnt a lot on Kodo Daishi ;o). We then made our way to Mount Koya, where Noriko brought us on a walking tour from the main gate all the way to the Ofokuin. She was very knowledgable, and provided us with a lot of tips we probably wouldn't have known if we did this on our own. We got to see a lot of things that made the experience a great one! We would most definitely get her to bring us around again when we visit Wakayama again!

We chose this experience so we could fit a number of sights into a single day as we could since we were only spending 3 full days in Kyoto. This allowed us to focus on seeing the things we wanted to rather than transportation between each sight. Marine-san worked with us over email to come up with an itinerary that was efficient and included the majority of the sights that we wanted to see. On the day Shenji-san sent us a message so we had his contact details and arrived promptly at our hotel. He drove us to each location, took photos of us (so we could all be in them!), and gave us additional facts about each location. He was a fantastic host for the day and we'd highly recommend this experience.
