This one-day tour experience was great! The tour guides Lucy and Nate were very enthusiastic. They explained the attractions in detail and were humorous. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery in joy. The group tour arrangement was very convenient. We could visit multiple attractions in one day and check in efficiently. The tour guide was also very considerate. The recommended eel rice and wagyu restaurants were great. The food and the scenery were great. Highly recommended to tourists who are visiting for the first time and want to check in at multiple attractions. It is very rewarding. I look forward to the next group tourヾﾉ≧∀≦)o

Ember and Scarlett are very serious and considerate. They created a line/whatsapp group the day before the trip to facilitate everyone's contact. They will also post many recommended attractions or shops in the itinerary, and even give out warm packs and cookies. This is the best experience I have ever participated in. Great day trip!
