The Miharu Nostalgic Trail was beautiful, but unfortunately, we didn't have enough time! It's definitely worth hiking longer! Also, this trip included some aiyu jelly and braised food shops, so we ate our fill throughout the trip; the food wasn't as meager as I'd imagined. Also, I recommend taking the tuk-tuk on the left side; those on the right can only see the mountain walls! Finally, because we were so full, we couldn't cook any more onsen tamago (soft-boiled eggs) or corn, so we went for a foot bath ♨️ I was so glad we saw some autumn leaves 🍁
The boat was very clean, the itinerary was comprehensive, and the tour guide provided detailed explanations, allowing us to learn about the natural environment and the history of Turtle Island. It was a very rewarding experience!
People are so helpful while I tried to figure out where to board the train in the huge station. Food was not the best. However it is a very nice way to hv a headline view the country. The mountain and coastal views were gprgeous! if you like Karaoke, there is a karaoke carriage where you can scream your favourite songs while strangers clapped and cheered you on.
We rented two cars this time, but due to system settings... there was a discrepancy with the store... during this Mid-Autumn Festival holiday... everyone waited for almost an hour to pick up the cars. During this time, there was also an extra charge for full vehicle insurance... the cost of two cars for two days was equivalent to renting another car... haha... but the cars were in good condition, and the air conditioning was cool enough... so it was acceptable. As for fuel and mileage metering, I think it's best to write that in the rental agreement... so consumers can weigh the total cost and avoid exceeding their budget.
Both the sweet and savory meals were delicious, and the train stopped twice to explore, listen to historical stories, and take photos of Turtle Island. The interior of the train was upscale and comfortable, and the service staff were very friendly.
The trip I booked yesterday morning is finally here today! After boarding at the North Station, I met a very polite and talkative driver, which kept my daughter and me company on the bus. The attractions arranged by the platform are places we don't usually visit, and the scenery was truly amazing. The phytoncides in the ancient trails were very relaxing. This trip was a real treat for my daughter, and I'll definitely choose KKDay's light travel services again next time.
Our driver, Xiaolong, was very helpful. He took photos for us and was attentive to our needs (e.g., he slowed down when we threw up in the car). However, we were a bit rushed, and the traffic was quite congested due to the holiday. I personally recommend planning this trip for two days and one night; otherwise, it's just a superficial visit.
