During my trip to Tokyo, Japan with my parents, they had to depart first due to our schedule. The driver picked them up from the hotel right on time, so they went back to Narita Airport alone without me, and I am very satisfied. The interior of the vehicle was clean, and the overall service was excellent.
Our tour guide, Xiaoyu, was humorous and had beautifully done nails. She was very responsible and managed the itinerary well. Our driver was a skilled driver; he successfully reversed and entered the parking lot at Shiraito no Taki on his first try without missing a single spot. In the morning, we had just the right amount of time to play on the coconut tree swings and take photos at the Couple Rocks. After having Ichiran Ramen for lunch, we went to Dazaifu. Although it was Saturday and there were a lot of people, we still had plenty of time. Our last stop was in the evening when we took a boat trip on Yanagawa, which was very comfortable. The boatman was handsome and could sing very well. We had a great time all day!
The driver was handsome and gave a very thorough introduction to Mount Fuji, and also recommended good food and tourist attractions. Although it was raining, I was lucky to have met such a good driver.
The tour ran smoothly from start to finish and ended on schedule. If I had traveled alone using JR trains, I definitely wouldn't have been able to visit so many places as efficiently. I highly recommend this tour for those without a driver's license. Our tour guide, Mr. Hayashi, was very kind, and I felt at ease. I also made good friends with other solo travelers, which is a fond memory. The atmosphere was welcoming, even for solo travelers. There were plenty of photo spots, and I was able to take plenty of beautiful photos, which I really enjoyed. My only concern, and this may depend on the individual, was that the Japanese guide was relatively simple. While the Chinese guide provided detailed and thorough explanations of tourist spots, the locations of photo spots, and important points to note, the Japanese guide seemed to focus on explaining the destinations and travel times. However, the guide was happy to provide detailed information if I asked individual questions, so it wasn't too inconvenient. If you can speak Chinese, I think the tour will be even more enjoyable.
