The tour guide recommended the Pirate Chicken and the Golden Yoro Milk, which were delicious. The scenery along the way was breathtaking. Three and a half hours wasn't enough to reach Myojin Pond. I hope to have the opportunity to come back and complete the tour in the future.
If a car is providing transportation, passengers should be informed beforehand that the car only goes as far as Hirayu Onsen Station, and passengers must take a bus from the onsen station to Kamikochi themselves; otherwise, passengers will be caught off guard.
I won a hot spring trip in a contest, and my destination is Togura Kamiyamada Onsen. On the way, I visited Matsumoto Castle and enjoyed Shinshu soba noodles at "Yamato" for lunch. At Togura Kamiyamada Onsen Yamafuso, I relaxed in the hot springs and washed away the day's sweat. Tomorrow, I'll go grape picking in Shiojiri, have lunch along the way, and then head home.
It was a truly lush and breathtaking view. I fully absorbed the magnificent scenery that the camera couldn't capture. Most of the people were Japanese, but it doesn't matter if you don't speak Japanese. The meeting place was a bit confusing. It took a long time because of the rain, but sleeping and then waking up to go trekking was the best.
The meeting point was next to a convenience store, where you could buy water or drinks for the journey after checking in. It was my first time visiting Kamikochi, and it was raining, which added to the experience. The air was fresh and the environment was serene; it must be a great place to go in the summer. Our guide, Xiao Yu, was very attentive and provided detailed explanations. On the way back, he even recommended some Nagoya restaurants.
I'd always wanted to see Yayoi Kusama's work. Because of her passing, it was crowded even on a weekday. There weren't that many exhibits, but there were immersive pieces and it felt like an attraction.
It's incredibly convenient to pick you up and drop you off at Disneyland on your birthday, and you can get there comfortably without having to squeeze onto the subway – it's fantastic!
The driver will add you on Line beforehand and provide contact information. On the day of the trip, the driver arrived at the agreed hotel on time. The car was very comfortable and clean.
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!
