Reviews
amanihashidate was just Ok for me. Airlift chair was closed, i think due to weather. Miyama snow lantern… there is no more snow when we went there. The higlight of this tour is the INE FISHING VILLAGE. I had fun feeding seagulls.
The guide said that the schedule was tight and we had to move quickly, so I was a little nervous. As someone who doesn't speak English or Japanese, I did my best. The guide proceeded according to the original course, gave sufficient explanations, and compared to the tight schedule, it went smoothly, and the people I traveled with, although they were from different countries, moved well. The reason I took off one star is... I wish they had given us a place or time to have lunch. They said that the schedule was tight and told us to buy food at a convenience store in the morning, but it was hard to endure hunger until we reached the final destination. Still, it was a good course, and I had a lot of fun experiencing various things. It's a good trip to leave yourself on the bus for a day. It was a comfortable and beautiful trip. Except for the fact that I was hungry^^ Next time, please make a Korean guide.
Tour by big bus, guide is with limited english but its allright because instruction is easy to understand, amanohashidate and ine is good, but honestly i expect more for miyama village, its quite small
feeding the seagulls I enjoy much . but disappointed the miyama snow lanter , there is no lantern at all even no snow at least there is a big lantern all over the village ,
when we went there, there was no snow, in the pic it had snow, and its not like in the pictures, the travel was very far, overall would not recommend going there
The tour guide was very responsible and talkative, and the whole trip was very smooth👍🏻
There is no snow in Meishan Snow Lanterns, so how can we call it a Snow Lantern Festival! ? After traveling all the way, I ran there with great expectations, but only the lamp was left in the field. I was so disappointed! All I can say is that I hope the travel agency’s itinerary will match the title! ! ! Again, I hope the itinerary fits the title! ! !
We specially selected the date of the fireworks display and went to the meeting point with great anticipation. All the members arrived at the check-in time in the morning but we still didn't see the tour guide. The introduction of the scenic spots in Meishan was only given a QRCODE for everyone to see for themselves. It is understandable that the scenic spots were not as expected due to the weather. The tour guide is the key to the success of the entire trip. Unfortunately, we encountered a tour guide who was out of his condition.
Winter might not be the time to visit as all the places do not seems nice, greyish scenery and foggy.
Good to know
