Ferry *****
Yesterday
It was a very good experience. The scheduling and overall planning was good and we managed to enjoy all the popular locations and got to taste the delicious street food. The bus ride was a bit long, due to the heavy traffic. Only recommendation for improvement will be to schedule in a rest-stop on the way to Mount Fuji as our trip took more than 3 hours from Tokyo Station to the first destination. Overall an amazing day out with very friendly and knowledgeable guides.

I left customs earlier than the scheduled time. I asked the staff on platform 17. As long as there are vacancies on the flight, I can change to an earlier flight. It is super convenient. You can go directly to Disneyland without changing trains. Like it.

Our friendly tour guide Mrs Yuan is very easy going and humorous person. She provided us vivid explanations about the attractions as well as life and culture of Japan. She also gave very useful information and recommendations about food. She also prepared snacks and candies for us and jokes with us along the way and made the entire trip very relaxing and enjoyable. She is fluent in Japanese, Chinese and English and easy to communicate with all the group members. She cares about everyone’s need and take care of everyone like a big family. really appreciate her kindness and we hope we have opportunities to join her tour again in future.
