Nikko

I decided to go to Nikko Edo Village, a place I'd never been to before, and while researching, I found a direct bus from Tokyo. Since it was only three days in advance, I booked it thinking it would be fully booked. On the day of departure, it was my first time at the Yaesu underground bus terminal, so I arrived early to check how crowded it was. There was no one waiting at our platform, which worried me. A large bus arrived, and my family of three boarded, thinking we were the first passengers. However, no one else boarded, so I asked the driver, and it turned out we were the only three people! We had the bus all to ourselves, which made us very happy. It seems it's not very well-known yet, so it was good that we went before it became popular. There were rest stops along the way, and we arrived at Nikko Edo Village comfortably, enjoying ourselves until 4 PM. Since I didn't have to drive, I could drink beer, play a lot, and sleep on the bus, which was great. On the way back, the highway was congested, so we arrived a little late, but the driver drove safely, so there were no problems. It was a relaxing trip after a long time. Next time, I'd like to take a bus trip to a different place. Thank you.

This was our first family trip to Nikko Toshogu Shrine by car, and it was great! The karinto manju (fried sweet buns) and kariman from Takabayashi-do were delicious.

I was so lucky to have Xia, a Chinese-speaking driver, as hiring a car made the trip so easy. He worked tirelessly from Tokyo to pick us up from our hotel in Kawaguchiko early in the morning, and we drove for over an hour to the 5th Station's Onaka-dori trail, enjoying the beautiful scenery halfway up the mountain. Although our time at the outlet was limited, we still managed to buy what we wanted. Xia was very polite and warm, drove steadily, and avoided traffic jams so we could get back to Tokyo on time. Thank you!

The driver was very friendly and provided excellent service, and the itinerary went very smoothly. The driving was smooth and comfortable, and the overall experience was very good. I was very satisfied with this chartered car trip!

The Tokyo Wide Pass is a great ticket for visiting less-visited spots near Tokyo and taking sightseeing trains.

This chartered tour was truly excellent value for money. We met an absolutely fantastic driver—professional, patient, and with a very well-planned itinerary. On our return trip, we encountered three accidents on the highway, causing a long traffic jam and almost exceeding our time limit. The driver skillfully helped us find alternative routes. Although we were still more than an hour late, he wasn't upset and didn't ask for extra money. He even provided polite service! It was wonderful!
