This trip utilized a 7-day Kansai and Hokuriku pass to explore the cities and attractions of the Hokuriku region, with day trips to Kyoto or two-day, one-night stays. Saving considerable transportation costs, it was incredibly cost-effective for foreign tourists visiting Japan. The itinerary included enjoying the Hokuriku scenery, the ancient capital and culture of Kanazawa, the Tateyama-Kurobe Alps and the Kurobe Gorge railway, and savoring delicious seafood. The Kyoto round trip was via the Okayama-Himeji-Kurashiki-Sanyo Shinkansen, while the Hokuriku round trip included Tsuruga, Kaga Onsen, Kanazawa, (Noto Peninsula: Wakura Onsen, Nanao City to Noto-Karakuri train), Tomizan, Unazuki Onsen-Hokuriku Shinkansen, and the Tomizan Local Railway to the Unazuki Onsen area. The Shinkansen included the Tsuruga, Hakutaka, and Koki Shinkansen, with reserved and unreserved seats, allowing for multiple stops and starts between cities, making for a fulfilling itinerary. The estimated savings for two people in transportation costs were tens of thousands of yen.
The pre-flight pick-up and drop-off service was convenient; they contacted us in advance via Line to confirm our arrival date and time. Upon landing, we were quickly informed of the meeting point and given clear directions, ensuring a smooth and quick ride even though we arrived late at night. The driver was also very skilled and the car was spotless. It was a very good experience.
Rino is a professional tour guide who is fluent in English, has excellent communication skills, is knowledgeable about the history and stories of the attractions, and is meticulous and attentive to every detail.
Excellent service, convenient, I've used it 3 times already - I'll definitely use it again next time.
