This was a two-day, one-night small group tour in a 10-seater vehicle. Our guide and driver, Zhang Ting, was excellent. He flexibly adjusted the schedule and itinerary based on road conditions, explained the features of upcoming attractions along the way, and clearly reiterated which activities required an additional fee. He also took photos for the group members and was very friendly and enthusiastic. He interacted with everyone throughout the trip. Highly recommended! As for the accommodation, the pillows were too flat, and breakfast was simple and ordinary.

The overall experience of this two-day, one-night trip was excellent. The tour guide's arrangements were very smooth, and their time management was superb, making the entire journey relaxed and stress-free. Along the way, they would introduce upcoming attractions and important notes in advance, which helped us understand the itinerary better and built anticipation. Our interactions throughout the trip were easy and natural, creating a great atmosphere. Overall, it was a very comfortable and pleasant experience, five-star rating!

Lucky to have a cheerful, professional and experienced tour guide Allan who was originally from Malaysia I was told. He managed to keep the time very well, keep everyone in the 34 people group together and adhere to the sightseeing programme as described. He’s English was good and humorous. Thanks, Allan.

This was my first time joining a one-day tour, and I was very nervous before we left, worried about getting a difficult guide. The day before departure, Klook provided us with the guide's information and contact details, and the guide answered all our questions, which put my mind at ease. Since there weren't many participants, our group was a combined Chinese and Korean tour. Our guide was amazing, speaking Japanese, Chinese, and Korean fluently! During introductions and explanations, sometimes he'd speak Korean first, sometimes Chinese first, showing no favoritism, which was fantastic! Besides doing an excellent job with his guiding duties, he also gave us little tips for traveling in Japan, like where to eat, the best places to shop, and must-buy items. He was truly a five-star guide! This wonderful guide was Kim Myung-cheol, and I highly recommend him!

I did my tour with Serina and she is an absolutely lovely person that gives it at least 110% effort in order to make the journey as pleasant and as smooth as possible for everyone. I usually dislike tours like this to be honest, as the itinerary is either bad or tour guide not managing the group well enough in order for everyone being on time. Serina managed all of that excellently though and I would choose to travel with her again for sure. Had a great day, thank you Serina!

This is a super fun experience. Away from the busy city of Tokyo. Its a good option for day tour. Super convenient transpo and nice places. Definitely a must! We enjoy it, specially the free train rides and the places like the anime Slam Dunk and K drama Can Love be translated was included.

It was my first time seeing fireworks from the sea, and it was truly spectacular; the fireworks were beautiful. I'm so glad we chose the boat tour to watch them. We were the fourth group to board, and we easily found an excellent viewing spot. The weather was clear, and we could see very bright stars from the sea without any light pollution. Another highlight of this trip was seeing bioluminescent plankton (blue tears) in the ocean – I was so happy! The weather was cool and comfortable during our visit. Mr. Sakuragi's commentary and explanations of the attractions along the way were very detailed, and he helped us complete a wonderful journey. Thank you.

My family and I had the pleasure of being guided by Allan during one of the busiest times in Japan – Golden Week. Despite the crowds and hectic pace, Allan was absolutely fantastic. One thing we really love is Allan's energy was infectious. Allan managed every challenge with a smile and kept the group moving smoothly through packed stations, popular attractions, and tight schedules. It’s not easy handling the chaos of Golden Week, but Allan did it effortlessly. If you want a guide who knows Japan inside out and stays calm and cheerful under pressure, ask for Allan. Highly recommended!
