As someone who gets carsick, this was a risky decision. I was worried about whether the three-row overnight bus would even run on New Year's Eve (December 31st), the cleanliness of the bus, and the bumpy ride. It did run, and it was very clean (including the toilets). The ride wasn't too bumpy, and each seat had a curtain, providing some privacy. The bus was also quite punctual. The driver and the staff who helped with the luggage were very kind; thank you to them.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The service was excellent, the whole process was smooth, there were many styles to choose from, the photographer was professional, and the photos turned out great!
What impressed me most about this trip was Amanohashidate and the Ine boathouses. Enjoying one of Japan's three most famous scenic spots under a heavy snowfall was truly a unique experience. The boat trip and seagull feeding at the Ine boathouses reminded me of my happy memories of feeding seagulls in Matsushima long ago. Being able to enjoy a delicious abalone meal was also a great value. A special thank you to our guide, Mingming, for his detailed explanations; he must have worked hard to understand the history of the places we visited, which gave me a deep understanding of everything. The driver's smooth driving was also commendable. I will definitely participate again next time.
