Thanks to you, I was able to buy tickets at a good price and had a great time. I want to buy tickets and come back again. The food was delicious, and it was perfect for enjoying the hot springs. Thank you so much!
We departed Shinjuku at 8 AM and returned at 6 PM, encountering a slight traffic jam on the Friday return trip. The itinerary included the cable car fare; the pirate ship was at our own expense. We visited Hakone Shrine and took photos of the torii gates in the lake (there were long queues, 3 minutes per person; if time is limited, skip this step). The pirate ship view was fantastic, with beautiful reflections in the lake. The cable car took us to Owakudani to see sulfurous gas eruptions (comparable to Yangmingshan in Taiwan, but Owakudani is fenced off and viewed from a distance), and we ate black eggs (at our own expense). Lunch was at our own expense, featuring Wagyu beef, eel, fried chicken, etc., served at a restaurant combined with a specialty shop (the specialty products were slightly more expensive than in city stores, but there were some discounts, so it was acceptable). We collected "Shinryūsui" (a type of water) at Oshino Hakkai and ate "Kusa Mochi" (baked glutinous rice wrapped with mugwort and red beans). Finally, we went to Lake Yamanaka to see the swans. Although it was a rainy day, we even saw Mount Fuji occasionally appear – good luck!
The driver arrived at the hotel on time for pick-up and drop-off, and his service was excellent. He followed our itinerary perfectly, so we didn't have to rush.
Booking tickets was convenient; you could simply open the app at the venue. Yokohama was absolutely beautiful at night, and the tickets were perfect for the evening use – very economical! If I have the chance to visit Yokohama again, I will definitely choose to book tickets through KKDay once more.
Overall, there were mostly young children, elementary school age or younger. I suppose that's because it was summer vacation. The animals were cute and friendly, and it was very relaxing.
This trip was made possible by choosing a chartered car service; the entire experience exceeded expectations! The chartered car tour was fantastic! The driver was punctual, reliable, friendly, and a first-rate driver, so there was absolutely no worry about getting lost or getting stuck in traffic. The car was clean and the seats were comfortable. The itinerary was flexible, allowing us to rest whenever we got tired, truly enjoying a vacation! The car was clean and spacious, with powerful air conditioning, so even on long journeys, we weren't fatigued. The itinerary was well-planned and followed our pace perfectly, so we didn't have to rush and had a very relaxing time. It was excellent value for money!
Karuizawa is quite a long drive, taking almost 6 hours round trip. I recommend staying overnight in Karuizawa so your trip won't be too rushed. Unfortunately, we encountered a wedding at the Kogen Chapel and Stone Chapel and couldn't go inside, which was a real shame. I suggest avoiding weekdays as the chapels are less active!
The 20GB bandwidth for 7 days was more than enough. The internet connection was also very stable; I'll definitely choose it again next time I travel abroad.
