Lake Ashi

Our tour guide, Belle, provided enthusiastic and professional commentary on each tourist attraction, offering warm service and attentive care to every member of the group. In Hakone, we boarded a pirate ship to admire the harmony between the land and the lake, then disembarked and took a cable car to enjoy the changing vegetation and the magnificent rolling mountains. Arriving at Owakudani, the air was filled with the natural smell of sulfur. Before us lay the landscape left by a volcano thousands of years ago, telling the story of how years of accumulated energy erupted a millennium ago. It resembled a magnified version of Xiaoyoukeng in Taipei, Taiwan, giving us a deeper understanding of how scorching the magma underground was and how nature itself shaped the land. Finally, we visited Enoshima, located in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It's a land-connected island with a circumference of 4km and an elevation of 60m. The road leading to Enoshima Shrine is lined with streets selling seafood barbecue, local specialties, sweets, and souvenirs. As you ascend the steps, the Ejima Shrine comes into view. Following local customs, I scooped up some natural water to purify myself, then offered prayers before entering the shrine, thanking everyone who had helped me along the way, and praying for the health and safety of everyone, my friends, and myself! 🐳💖🌈

The trip was well organized and smooth. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and had a good dinner and breakfast.

Don't expect sunshine all the time, the weather is always likely to change. Our tour guide David explained everything to us like why certain measures were taken for my trip as the morning weather was against us. I would totally book from them again. The only real issue was that mandarin was what our tour guide spoke more since the majority understood mandarin. English language they struggle a bit but they try their best to accommodate the English only speakers. The overall vibes places we went to were fun, and Fuji San even gave us a glimpse despite the terrible fog.

This trip was booked for my parents. From the moment we placed the order until the end of the trip, communication was seamless, which put my mind at ease. My parents were very satisfied with the trip. Sakuragi-san was a very nice and energetic person. It was a pity the weather wasn't good, so we couldn't see Mount Fuji, but everything was well-arranged. I hope to have the opportunity to participate again next time.
