Akiyoshido Cave was Amazing! Really worth the long bus ride. Thank you for the bathroom breaks throughout the tour. Our guide was upbeat and enthusiastic. She spoke Japanese, Chinese & English. She was very considerate in offering to take photos for everyone. She made the tour enjoyable and comfortable. Suggestion about meeting place: We were at the meeting place (corner of Lawson store) at 8:00 am - meeting time was 8:15 am. Our guide was not in that area but on the curb by buses. We were told the bus lic. # was 2306 but the visible # was 6. Maybe the guide could check at the corner of Lawson, too, & not only stand at the curb. Thank goodness she called us or we would have missed the tour.

The sites cave, shrine etc were great. The guide was wonderful. It was a bit confusing to find the guide amongst all the others so make sure you follow the instructions and know your tour company flag. We loved the tour and the guide. By the way there are no bathrooms on the bus but routine stops for breaks.
