It was an amazing experience. Fortunately, I got lucky with the weather and traffic. Everything was satisfying. I must mention our guide, Nakata-san; she was amazing. Basically, it was a Japanese tour, but she gave us extra care as non-Japanese and provided good information all day. I'm a tour guide myself, and I must say she did well to manage large numbers of people.
Most of the tour participants were Japanese, and the guide spoke Japanese. However, we were able to communicate a little when arranging meeting points. The location was beautiful, the weather was good, and it was easy to walk around. We stopped for restroom breaks twice, both on the way there and back, for about 10-15 minutes each time.
I did not want to leave the place. I wish Klook had an option with earlier departure in Shinjuku and later departure in Kamikochi as well. 3.5 hours is a very limited time to explore the whole area. The bus ride was comfortable. The tour guide was very considerate to non Japanese speakers even though only the essential details were translated. As for the other details announced, Apple Airpods Live translate came in handy.
I highly recommend everyone use Klook for purchases. It's incredibly useful and affordable. I highly recommend it to every traveler. It's very good!
I'm very satisfied with this Japanese tour! The tour guide was very attentive to us foreigners, explaining some requests in English and arranging for us to sit behind her so she could easily understand our needs. The Japanese tour used a comfortable bus! I'll definitely try Japanese tours again in the future.
Our guide, Abe-san, was incredibly kind. I had received an email saying that a translator would not be provided, so I wasn't expecting one, but our guide could speak Korean, which made for a wonderful memory.
First, this is a Japanese speaking tour so the tour guide do not speak English. But information was provided by email beforehand. The bus is clean and on time, leaving ample time for self exploration. Recommended
A wonderful trip and a delightful time spent out of the city in the fresh air, with impressive mountain views and a walk along a river with crystal-clear water. The tour organization was flawless, with an attentive guide.
Overall, it was very good. If I have the chance, I'll book another tour with the same travel agency!
The travel time is longer, and the stopover is about four hours. If you walk slowly, you might have to skip some of the farther points of interest.
