Karuizawa

We joined a six-hour ski tour with Chinese instructors and purchased this ticket for our family. It was very convenient. Inside the Prince Ski Center, there's an automatic ticket machine. Scan the QR code, and you can take the ticket to the rental center next to the ski center. There are staff to assist you. They'll give you ski equipment, ski suits, helmets, and a shopping bag. Then, go to the Snow House to change and put your gear in a locker (lockers cost extra). Remember to bring Japanese yen banknotes; there are change machines. You can use the restaurant and bring Japanese yen and credit cards. If you have booked a lesson, please arrive at the ski center 1-1.5 hours early to exchange your ticket and change. Waiting times can be long and may delay your paid ski lesson. The one-day chairlift pass allows you to ride the chairlift up and down. It's recommended for those with an instructor or skiing experience. The chairlift pass is free for children under 12, but the child and an adult must go to the ski center counter to collect the pass.

They provided very practical and reliable advice, and I will use this service again if needed!

The tour covered Nagano and Saitama prefectures. The journey to Karuizawa alone was 170 kilometers away. Guide Koyuki's commentary along the way made the trip less boring. Each attraction was visited on time with ample time for stops, allowing each traveler to fully enjoy shopping, taking photos, and eating delicious food. The return trip also went smoothly on schedule. Overall, it was a wonderful travel experience.

A big thank you to our tour guide, Hedy, for leading us along the way and explaining the origins of each attraction. This trip was all about taking a boat ride on the Yanagawa River, and it was a truly wonderful experience. We could hear the boatman singing while cruising, creating a great atmosphere. We even had ramen at the Ichiran Tourist Factory for lunch. The whole day went very smoothly, and we were lucky enough to see a beautiful snow scene at Shiraito Falls! 😍

The meeting point is convenient and easy to find. The tour guide is professional and provides explanations in both Chinese and English. The itinerary is comfortable and offers ample time. Itoshima has stunning scenery; it's comfortable to visit even in winter, and the weather is perfect for taking photos.

Our family of four, with four large suitcases, traveled 240 kilometers. The driver arranged rest stops along the way for us to use the restroom, and we arrived at the hotel smoothly. Thank you, driver.

No need to squeeze onto crowded trams, I can sleep on board, and there are rest stops along the way for dinner – I think this is perfect for a lazy person like me.
