Arrangement was easy and smooth, driver is very professional and gave clear instructions where to wait for him. I did not top up for name placard service. The provided car was clean and well maintained. Highly recommended for this service especially when travelling with small kid.
Long queues already formed starting at 9 AM, saving you time on ticket purchases. If you have a travel pass, you get a 10% discount if you buy tickets on-site! But you still have to queue! The cable car is small, so it moves slowly!
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.)
