It snowed heavily in Tokyo these past two days, and many itineraries were either blocked or completely covered by snow. There were also traffic jams and many cars skidding on the roads. Luckily, we met Zhang Ting, whose driving skills are excellent. He persevered for a long time (what should have been a 3-hour drive turned into 8 hours), remaining completely focused and helping us arrive safely at the attractions and return safely to the hotel. We are truly grateful to him for his continuous assistance throughout the journey, ensuring a rich experience despite the bad weather. Only the second day in Izu was sunny, and then it started snowing again in the afternoon… You can imagine how much more fun we would have had if the weather had been better. Regarding food, since I'm vegetarian, he patiently helped me communicate with the restaurant staff. In short, although the weather was bad, our tour guide was fantastic! 😊
I was so happy to be on the Owakudani and Enoshima tour; they were truly beautiful. Unfortunately, I prefer to spend more time there, and even a whole day wasn't enough to appreciate all the stunning scenery. The tour guide was very polite and spoke Chinese, Japanese, and English. He told us that seeing Mount Fuji from there is a rare treat ❤️
The long-awaited trip to Owakudani to see the crater was truly unique. We also got to experience the Hakone pirate ship and cable car rides, and even visited Enoshima, which is currently very popular in Korean dramas. It was a fantastic experience! Thank you to our guide, Feng Wanting, for her meticulous explanations and excellent itinerary planning; everything was perfectly arranged! 👍
The professional Sakuragi-sensei provided introductions in three languages, explaining each attraction in a relaxed and humorous way, which not only helped viewers better understand each site but also made the experience comfortable and enjoyable. The itinerary was smoothly arranged, and the staff were very attentive to everyone's needs and easy to get along with! We were lucky to have good weather, which allowed us to see the entire Mt. Fuji, and the scenery from the boat and cable car was also absolutely stunning! It was a wonderful trip that filled us with happiness and is highly recommended!
