Overall, the itinerary was well-planned, but the vehicle was incredibly small! Seventeen people were crammed into a minibus, with knees practically touching the seats in front. The 2.5-hour journey, including mountain roads, was extremely painful, and I was one of the shorter travelers! Also, the onsen facilities were rather old. The tour leader was excellent, communicating diligently with everyone and even helping with photos. (Itinerary for October 22, 2025: Nikko Shrine had no autumn leaves yet, Lake Chuzenji had autumn leaves, and Kegon Falls was slightly red.)
The staff were attentive and friendly, the seating was spacious and comfortable, and the meat and other food items were fresh; the meat quality was excellent value for money.
It was my first time riding a double-decker open-air sightseeing bus. I chose the Tokyo City Route, which quickly took me around the city's most popular areas, including Tokyo Station, the Imperial Palace, Roppongi, and Azabudai Hills, in about an hour and ten minutes. The bus also passed by Tokyo Tower, saving me a lot of walking and subway transfers. The bus also offered multilingual guides. It was a breezy autumn day, and the whole experience was truly satisfying.
