Customized round-trip itinerary to Sendai. The driver was friendly and polite, and could communicate in Chinese, which was very convenient. The car was clean and comfortable. Overall, I was very satisfied with the trip. Chartering a car made the journey very easy, and I will definitely use it again in the future and recommend it to my friends.
Thank you to our driver and tour guide, Mr. Li Mengyang, for his kind hospitality, which made our trip to Fox Village and Ginzan Onsen very enjoyable! The Shiraishi Onsen noodles for lunch were also delicious!
Thanks to Ashley, our trilingual guide, for leading us to the legendary Spirited Away scene and even encountering a blizzard, which added a unique touch to Ginzan Onsen. We also appreciate the driver's professionalism in taking us back to Sendai Station on time.
I arrived at the meeting point 20 minutes early that morning, but couldn't find the car. Panicked, I contacted customer service and found out the driver had me on WeChat (but I didn't check WeChat while in Japan). What I thought was a small group tour turned into a private car for two. The driver, Mr. Qian, was very kind, allowing us to comfortably visit Fox Village and Zao Snow Fun Park without feeling rushed. On the return trip, he even took us to Shabu-no-Ya in Sendai city for dinner. The service was excellent.
Today's group consisted of 14 people, a wonderful small group where everyone was punctual and quiet (there was a break time on the bus). Thanks to our guide, Xiao Zhang, for his detailed explanations of each attraction along the way, covering everything from the seasons and local products to historical figures, which greatly enriched our knowledge. The driver was very smooth and comfortable. The Fox Village is most beautiful in winter, when the fox fur is at its peak. Matsushima has great weather and strong winds in winter, making for stunning scenery. With ample time, we were able to see and experience all the attractions, and even returned to Sendai Station at 5 PM to continue shopping. A truly wonderful day.
I was so lucky to have met our guide, Tommy, on this two-day, one-night trip to Sendai with my mom! 🥹 He was incredibly kind and easy to get along with. Even though the itinerary was a bit rushed, he still tried his best to give us plenty of time to explore at our own pace without worrying about missing anything. He was also very helpful, arranging our accommodations and finding good restaurants near the attractions, giving us lots of practical advice that was incredibly helpful! His historical explanations were also very engaging and never boring, making the whole trip very relaxed. He was very considerate of older people, and I felt very comfortable traveling with my mom. I would definitely want to join his tours again next time! ☺️
Less than 7 am to the meeting point, welcomed two young people, very energetic, but also can communicate in Mandarin, the whole process carefully explained, the group of more than ten people have elders and children, every point has reminders, and the leader pays attention to the group members need help.
