Seeing snow for the first time was fantastic for me overall. Our guide, Oliver, was excellent; he was very kind, spoke three languages, and actively guided us throughout the trip. The itinerary was very well-planned, with ample time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the scenery at each stop. The hotel was comfortable, and the driver was a very skilled driver. Although the bus seats were a bit small, they were generally quite comfortable. I was lucky enough to see beautiful snowscapes. Although the heavy snowfall prevented me from seeing the Zao Snow Trees that day, and I only reached the first level of the cable car, it was still incredibly breathtaking. The foxes were also very cute.
Mr. Kenichi Nishioka, the driver, was very responsible. He picked us up and dropped us off on time, and hiring a car was perfect for our trip. Now we have another travel option.
Our tour guide, Mr. Jinlong, provided excellent service and detailed explanations. The driver was highly skilled; he drove for a long time, but the ride was very smooth, allowing us to rest comfortably on the bus!
Although the journey was long and the itinerary was fulfilling, I look forward to returning sometime to experience what was missing. I was very fortunate to have a warm and responsible tour guide (Tommy), which made our trip unforgettable. Thank you!
