There were not many people on the day I went and there was no tour guide. On 9/11, all the flowers on the Patchwork Road were gone, which was a pity. However, there are still many flowers at Farm Tomita and Shikisai-no-Oka, so it’s a good time to take photos. The lavender ice cream is super delicious, and all the lavender products are great. I regret not buying more. I plan to buy more next time I have the chance👍

For a special group activity, I chose the itinerary with explanations in Chinese, English and Japanese, and it is the one that will stay the longest at the zoo. It is led by a Japanese tour guide and a Chinese-English translator. The boarding of the bus at each attraction will be announced before getting off. The time and stay time for each attraction are planned very accurately, making it a very suitable one-day tour for independent travelers. There will be three alighting stations on the return journey, allowing tourists to choose where to get off, which is really convenient.

There are only two people in my family who speak Chinese in the whole group. The other group members are all Japanese, but we also arranged a Chinese tour guide named Mr. Huang who made very thorough arrangements.

Although the driving time is a bit long, it is really convenient not to have to research the route by yourself. Asahiyama Zoo is highly recommended, but it was a pity that it rained when I went that day.

The overall itinerary is well arranged, but each trip may be a bit rushed for people with strollers, so it is worth recommending.

This tour is well worth the money! The destinations are beautiful and picturesque!! Our guide, Christal was energetic and looked out for everyone. I may not speak Mandarin, but she explained the itinerary in English as well. Our driver was also on time, and very safe. One issue on the itinerary is the Herb Garden. nothing really to do if you don’t purchase the lunch.

The itinerary was neither too fast nor too slow, and the arrangement was very suitable. The zoo was great, with many cute little animals. It was no problem to walk faster for more than two hours. The other scenery was also very beautiful. When we went there, the weather was very good, with blue sky and white clouds and beautiful scenery.
