Mr. Toyoshima drove smoothly, and despite the language barrier, he diligently provided explanations for each attraction using a translator. A day trip to the Hakkoda Ropeway, Oirase Stream, and Lake Towada was possible, with ample time to explore each site. It's truly a blessing for those without a car, and highly recommended.
This was my fourth time hiring a car during my trip to Aomori, with two Chinese-speaking drivers and two Japanese-speaking drivers. The Chinese-speaking driver made communication easy, while the Japanese driver made me feel their love for Aomori. For me, wanting to share my love for Aomori with my family, each time they left a good first impression and created wonderful memories. From the moment I met Mr. Iwakawa at the station, a reassuring presence, the whole day's itinerary was well-planned. Before each move, he would inform us of the estimated time to the next destination and explain important sights along the way. For me personally, Mr. Iwakawa's adjustments to the itinerary order made even repetitive trips feel special. Although the itinerary was largely the same each time, different seasons, different travel companions, and different drivers made the same places feel different. The advantage of hiring a car is its flexibility within a limited time, maximizing the chances of visiting multiple sights without having to compromise or choose; letting the experts handle the professional aspects, allowing you to focus on enjoying the journey. Good communication beforehand also contributes to the smoothness of each trip. Thank you again.
