Izu Atami Fireworks Festival & Izu Omuroyama tour

Serina was our guide, she was very professional, attentive and helpful, she made us feel welcomed and being taken cared of! Even though we did not got to take the cable car due to strong wind, we did get a 1000 yen refund for it.Atami firework is a once in a life experience , i for sure won’t forget about it. I highly recommend this tour! My feet finally can take a little break from all the walking.

I was initially concerned about the long travel distance for this trip, and as the online reviews suggested, we encountered traffic congestion right from the start. I was worried about missing the Mt. Omuro itinerary (the highlight of this trip). Along the way, the tour guide took advantage of rest stop breaks, allowing passengers who hadn't had lunch (we gathered at Tokyo Station at 11:20 AM) to grab some food and use the restroom. By the time we reached the base of Mt. Omuro, it was already 4:00 PM. The tour guide first queued up to get tickets and then led us to board the ropeway with priority access. We had enough time to go around the summit. For the Atami itinerary in the evening, due to the crowds in the shopping street, the tour guide suggested going to a nearby area with takeaway food (Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, yakisoba, grilled beef skewers, fried chicken, chicken cutlets, etc.) and waiting for the fireworks by the sea. There were a lot of people this time, and the fireworks were definitely worth seeing. The most important thing was the information and tips the tour guide shared before we got off the bus, which allowed everyone to quickly return to the bus after the fireworks, without affecting the subway ride back to the hotel in Tokyo. @Tour guide (Wang Wen-Chih/Eric)

The pick-up point is easy to find, but it is too late to leave at noon, so you can choose to pick up in Tokyo or Shinjuku. The drive is long, the whole trip takes about 6.5-7 hours (no traffic jams anymore). Take the crane up Oshiro Mountain, there is a photo service in the middle and back sections, you can choose to purchase photos when you get off, there is a souvenir shop on the mountain. The 2nd ”attraction” is actually to go shopping near JR Atami Station, but the tour bus drop-off point is very far from the shopping street, to walk up hundreds of stairs, very inconvenient, and to the shopping street 80% of the shops have been closed, can only take pictures simple stroll. Ahead the right time and have to go back down the stairs back to the beach, need to find your own location to watch the fireworks. Hopefully the trip can leave a little earlier, so that each attraction also has a longer time to stay and enjoy the view, otherwise the whole day feels also more by car than viewing.

We have a wonderful time & the fireworks was spectacular. The activities at Mount Omuro was fun & the view was certainly breathtaking. Our tour guide Serina was also very kind in helping us to take photos along the way.

Vicky and her assistant were very supportive and pushed me to catch the last train - something that many guides often overlook because they always assume that the guests will only be in Tokyo. A word of advice for those who want to book this tour in winter: you should not do it because of the many weather factors such as strong winds or extreme cold.

My tour guide is Andy, he’s thoughtful and guide us very well! Me and my friend miss the train and lost track with them, he gave a big help with that. Nice trip btw!

The trip because 12 o'clock to start, to the destination has been 2:30 have to keep taking the subway feel Hong to about four o'clock to go to Enoshima was very hungry, so the schedule is a little bad, eating time is only 45 minutes, after eating no time to go up the tower or purchase tickets! Check 1 hour after going to Atami because Atami is 7:00 restaurant closes, we have 1 hour to walk! Roughly speaking, the schedule should start at 10:00!

The tour leader Jimmy not so well give instructions, he should wait us in one assembly point. But he is patient with waiting for missing people😉Atami firework really worth to watch it, it’s amazing experience for me!

Serina is very thoughtful, always attentive to our needs, and meticulously arranges every aspect of the itinerary. Throughout the trip, she provided detailed explanations of the unique features of each attraction, which helped us better understand them. She managed the time very well, ensuring that we were neither rushed nor short on time to appreciate each attraction, and that we didn't miss any important sights, making the entire travel experience very pleasant and fulfilling.

This time, we met a beautiful female tour guide, Fan Yi, who was super fluent in switching between Chinese, English, and Japanese. She also arranged the schedule perfectly. There was absolutely no pressure bringing children on the tour. The tour bus driver was also very thoughtful. After the fireworks display, because it was too cold by the sea, I took the children onto the bus 20 minutes earlier than planned, and the tour bus driver immediately turned on the heat, which was super considerate. This activity experience was unexpectedly full of rewarding moments.
