Gunma

It was a bit windy, but we had a great time. The sheepdog show was fantastic; I was really impressed by how hard the dogs tried. The food was delicious too.

My family of 6 rode with Fukuyama-san over an 8-hour tour within Kawaguchiko and then back to Tokyo. He was professional and courteous and we really enjoyed chatting with him. My family is quite international and we could converse with him in different languages, which was a lot of fun. He knew Kawaguchiko well and could recommend the best places to visit and arrange logistics on where to park, drop us off, etc. He explained clearly the best places to meet back up and was continuously punctual. His car itself was clean and comfortable for all of us. On the drive back to Tokyo, we hit really bad traffic and he was mindful of when we might need a bathroom break so as also to optimize our return time. We would highly recommend him to others. Thank you Fukuyama-san for a great trip!

The Toy, Doll, and Automobile Museum lives up to its name, but it was more than three times as impressive as I expected. There are various genres, and I was amazed at how much they had gathered and displayed. Starting with teddy bears, it goes on to toys from the Showa era, posters, and cars. There are about three souvenir shops related to each genre along the way, and some attractions? Shooting games, pinball, gachapon (capsule toys), and a cafe on the way out. The sheer number of items is overwhelming, so I think it's definitely worth a visit.

A vibrant journey amidst blooming flowers, moss phlox, and wisteria; a superior transportation system with excellent connectivity.

The driver provided excellent service and was helpful in addressing any issues that arose during the trip. The baggage claim service was also outstanding. Highly recommended.
