The itinerary included a variety of experiences, such as foot baths at Ginzan Onsen, boat trips with meals, mountain temple hikes, fox village visits, Akiho Falls, Zao Crater Lake, and a cable car ride. My two friends and I, who love taking photos, had a great time and thought we'd come back in winter. The hotel was clean and in a great location. The breakfast was a delicious and high-quality Japanese breakfast. The neighborhood was lively; we even browsed through all the Japanese convenience stores and found a supermarket where we bought cherries, peaches, and cherry tomatoes – all incredibly tasty! The driver was very humorous, easy to communicate with, and drove smoothly. Highly recommended! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The biggest advantage of visiting these tours in the summer is that you don't have to squeeze with crowds, there are no queues at attractions, and you don't have to wait long to take photos. The quality of the tour is much better than in winter. Zao Ogama is very beautiful. The weather is cold and windy, so you need to wear a jacket even in summer, otherwise you will be shivering. Our tour guide, Ji Fang, is very friendly. I often encounter difficult customers in my work, so I feel bad asking the tour guide to do anything extra. But she took the initiative to speak up and put the guests first, making them feel her enthusiasm. The return trip takes two hours, and she thoughtfully asked the driver to stop at a rest stop along the way so that the guests wouldn't have to hold their urine for too long. Lunch was delicious and we ate our fill. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to go.
