My first experience with geothermal water in Shimizu was great! I bought a package deal that included a yukata experience, a fish-biting experience, and some food. It was really good.
I made a booking for 5 people just two days before we wanted to go. The agency immediately reached out on WhatsApp to confirm and ask a few more questions. Our driver Jackie arrived right on time, and was wonderful - driving safely, giving guidance, and even providing umbrellas for when it rained. Our booking was for 8 hours which was, enough to cover Yehliu, Jiufen, and Shifen Waterfall. We arrived back in Taipei a little after the agreed time and were fully prepared to pay an additional fee for the extra time, but instead got mango jelly as a farewell gift from Jackie. Great experience overall and I can highly recommend!
We hired a car for two consecutive days, and the company arranged the same driver, which made communication easy. The car was new, spacious, and very comfortable. We would definitely hire a car for our next trip.
An open-air bath with a nude bath, soaking in the phytoncides, and even an oven—if I didn't have other plans later on, I really wouldn't want to leave.
