Our first stop was a long weekend, and there were so many people taking the cable car to ski, we unfortunately couldn't get a turn to go up Mount Hakkoda to see the snow trees. But the driver was incredibly considerate. Besides helping us get a refund on our tickets, he made sure to stop at several points along the Oirase Gorge to let us get off and take photos and stroll around. He even tried to get us to take the cable car again (but the crowds during the weekend were just too overwhelming). He kept apologizing to us on the way up and down the gorge, and we knew it wasn't his fault 🥹 And Oirase Gorge in winter is beautiful too, a completely different view from autumn! I'd love to buy this tour again if I have the chance, and I hope to encounter this wonderful driver again! 😆😆
