I booked a Japanese-speaking guide, but it turned out to be in Chinese, and the difference in price was refunded. However, the guide used a translation app to explain things in Japanese, so there were no inconveniences. Although we didn't see the full sunset, I was glad to see such beautiful scenery. The guide was also very kind and took photos for us, making it a wonderful memory. I highly recommend this tour.
Traveling with two children aged five and six was quite rushed. But thank you to our guide, Ms. Wu, for her excellent leadership and explanations of the sights. She was very friendly and made the whole trip very smooth. She even encouraged us to climb a bit higher; Auntie Agan's taro balls were delicious and offered great views.
Overall, it was a good experience. The timing was perfect, not rushed at all. The driver was very cooperative with the pick-up location and even recommended local seafood restaurants. The car interior was also very comfortable.
I was traveling with a friend and we were making a round trip between Taipei and Kaohsiung. After comparing the prices of both options, I decided on this one because it was 30% off. While advance train and seat reservations are possible via the app and redeeming the High-Speed Rail tickets within the app, and then booking through the High-Speed Rail official website the day after redemption, I couldn't book adjacent seats in Japan because each person received a separate High-Speed Rail Redeem number (perhaps due to individual pass issuance). In reality, we were able to secure adjacent seats at the station ticket counter the day before, so there were no problems. We also redeemed our subway tickets at the station. I didn't have a chance to use the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle bus, but if you're planning a round trip between Taipei and Kaohsiung (or now Taipei and Tainan), I think it's worth considering. Using it is similar to the 15% discount for foreigners; you show your passport to the station attendant at the ticket gate. Please note that the carriage and seat numbers are handwritten by the station attendant, so they may be difficult to read.
