The interactive, all-Chinese-language activities were lively and engaging. The teachers were all very kind and friendly. My three-year-old son had a blast and we took lots of cute photos.
It's very convenient to book Shinkansen tickets a week before departure. Other websites don't have them, so this is also very convenient for people who procrastinate. I took the JR train to Tokyo Station. There are self-service ticket machines inside the station, but you can't get a ticket from them; you have to go to the exit machine. (A reminder to those who are buying tickets.)
Easy to purchase, easy to use the QR code, wait at the bus stop outside Prince Hotel Building 4, about five hours to Narita Airport, comfortable and convenient. In the middle you will stop at Takasaki rest stop for half an hour lunch.
First time of skiing which is nice and a wonderful experience as there has beautiful view, nice restaurant, comprehensive services. Definitely would recommend for the other travellers who are still considering or interested.
The driver was lovely, the bus departed on time, and it wasn't full (about 10% empty), so it wasn't cramped. There was a stop along the way, and it dropped us off at Ikebukuro on time. Very impressed!
