Our driver, Mr. Kawamura, was professional and friendly. Despite the language barrier, he tried his best to help us understand using a translator. He also took the initiative to take photos for us and prepared umbrellas for us when it rained. When we arrived at Oirase Gorge, he even got out of the car and took us to see the waterfall. On the way back, it suddenly snowed and some roads were even closed, but he still managed to safely deliver us to the hotel with his steady driving skills. It was a very pleasant and satisfying experience.
