This Hakone day trip with KKday was truly a memorable and wonderful experience! From the early morning meeting to the evening return to Tokyo, the entire itinerary was smooth and fulfilling, with excellent connections between attractions, eliminating any worries about transportation and allowing for a truly enjoyable trip. Whether it was the historically rich and spiritually significant Hakone Shrine, the pirate ship offering stunning views of Lake Ashi, the expansive Hakone Ropeway, or the breathtaking Owakudani volcanic landscape, each attraction had its own unique charm. Especially on a clear day, the view of Mount Fuji was incredible – absolutely worth it! Finally, at Oshino Hakkai, the crystal-clear springs reflecting the majestic Mount Fuji created a picture-perfect scene that was unforgettable. I especially want to commend our guide, Kristine (Wang Huimin)! Throughout the day, she was incredibly professional, providing detailed explanations of the history and features of each attraction, and thoughtfully reminding everyone of meeting times, photo opportunities, and important points, making the entire trip both safe and enjoyable. Facing a busload of group members, she maintained a warm smile and patience throughout, demonstrating excellent leadership and smooth time management. You could truly feel her dedication and hard work as a tour leader. Especially during the journey, Kristine shared a wealth of local Japanese culture, travel tips, and practical information, ensuring the trip was never boring and instead enriching and engaging. She was also incredibly helpful when group members encountered problems, showcasing her professionalism and warmth. A huge thank you to Kristine for her tireless leadership throughout the day. This trip wasn't just sightseeing; it was a comfortable and unforgettable memory! I would definitely love to participate again in the future and would recommend it to my friends!
Unlike roaming, it doesn't lag when used; the experience is quite good. It's worth buying if it's cheap. The card seems to have a phone number on it, but I haven't tested it by calling yet. It would be even better if I could leave my phone number to make restaurant reservations.
