A very good experience! We are used to chartering cars when traveling with children, so we have experience in chartering cars in different places in Japan. This driver (Nan) is the best we have ever encountered! Not only was he punctual and courteous, but the driving was also very safe and stable. He also took us to an observation deck with beautiful scenery on the way🙏🏻 In Beppu, he also suggested a better angle for us to view the Sea Hell❣️ We chartered the car for two days in a row and we were very satisfied with both days. , the children are also very happy, thank you❤️

I really recommend the bus tour!!! If you do the bus tour, I recommend doing it on the 1st or 2nd day. I did it in the middle, and the guide gave me good information like good restaurants and tips, but I regretted going somewhere else already!! And the guide was Piri, and he was really the bestㅜㅠㅠ Piri is so kind, funny, has a bright personality, and is so nice and handsome!! It's totally unfair.. Thanks to Piri, I had a bright and lively bus tour on the first day of the new year!! I think it will be a very enjoyable travel memory with good information and fun stories! And if you go to Yufuin, I think the grilled shiitake mushrooms with cheese were really deliciousㅜㅡㅜ And the karaage was also delicious! Those two were the best. And on the way home, at the rest stop? The yogurt sold at the convenience store was also delicious. It had a smooth taste! Next time, I'll come when it's green and use the Wakuwaku bus tour again. Thank you so much, Piri, for giving me such fun memories~~!!

It was nice to be able to travel comfortably by taking the bus. It was nice that they told us about good restaurants and famous places through Google Maps, and it was nice that they shared a shopping list through open chat. 👏The tour time was generous, so it was nice to eat and go around here and there. I was grateful that our guide Simmons told us interesting stories, Japanese etiquette culture, and travel tips. 👏👏

On December 31, 2024, I returned after making happy memories with guide Kang Hee-joo and many others on the last day of the year. Because of the New Year's holiday, the gates were closed early and there was expected to be traffic, so we couldn't proceed as originally planned. At the end, we couldn't go to any places, so the guide bought us yogurt at his own expense (touching). It was so delicious. I think the ones we bought at the rest stop were fakes. ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Guide Kang Hee-joo, we enjoyed it very much and thank you for giving us information on many good restaurants! Happy New Year~^^*
