Buying a JR pass online is convenient, and it was very convenient to use on this trip. The only drawback is that you can only reserve seats 7 times using the electronic ticket machine.
The tour guide and driver were very polite and professional. After receiving our admission tickets for each attraction, we were free to explore on our own. Of the group of over ten people, we were the only ones from Hong Kong who didn't speak Japanese. Our tour guide spent the entire time explaining things to the other members of the group. Of the three attractions, I was most looking forward to Eiheiji Temple, and I was fortunate enough to have my wish fulfilled.
