It’s a small group of 4. Spacious seats. Great itinerary. Ample time at each location. (But, if u like shopping, it might be a bit rush) Tour guide/driver well versed and experienced. But, she speaks mandarin though. Overall, I would recommend this tour. Especially if you want a more relaxed and slow trip with amazing view!
It is very helpful for long-distance transportation, and it does not need to be used continuously, making it easier to plan your trip. It is also very convenient to use the physical card to enter and exit, and you can enter and exit without the Internet. There are discounts on sightseeing tickets and attraction tickets. It is super cost-effective and I give it 100 points
The driver arrived early because we had an airport transfer scheduled for 5:00 am. There was an additional fee of 4,000 yen, which had to be paid in cash and could not be paid by card. The luggage was collected once the passengers were seated. The car was quite large, but the elderly had poor legs and feet, and there were 4 of us. The driver asked 2 of us to climb into the back seat. It is recommended that if there are elderly people, 3 of them can sit in the front seat and one person can sit in the passenger seat for easier access.
It's a fantastic deal! Just two round-trip Shinkansen trips from Okayama to Himeji pay for themselves, and you can even travel to Takamatsu and Utazu in Shikoku. The included Okayama Enjoyment Voucher gives you free admission to Okayama Castle and Korakuen Garden, plus a bonus Okayama Castle sundae, department store coupons, and more—it's a fantastic value.
