I was worried because there was only one other Japanese person on the tour, but the guide kindly explained everything to me in Japanese first, then in Chinese. We all went to the photo spots together, and the guide took photos for both solo travelers and couples, which was a great help for me since I'm terrible at taking selfies. The mountain road to Shiraito Falls was narrow, but I was impressed by how the driver drove safely, yielding to oncoming traffic. We waited about 30 minutes at Ichiran no Mori, but they extended our time and we were even able to buy souvenirs. There are many cafes at Meotoiwa (Married Couple Rocks), but I found a free space where I could rest with a cold daifuku (rice cake) I bought nearby. There are power outlets and shops, so I recommend it. The bus tour took us to many different places, which made it very easy and enjoyable. Thank you to all the staff!
The tour guide was very friendly and her explanations were clear. There were only 12 people in the group, making it more comfortable. However, the weather...it was raining...
