The 2-day trip to Ginzan Onsen was an absolute 10/10! I strongly recommend staying overnight; the night view is truly breathtaking, making you feel like you've stepped right into the fairytale world of Spirited Away. The pace of the itinerary was very comfortable, with no rushed sightseeing. Staying at a ryokan, we enjoyed authentic Japanese meals for breakfast and dinner, and the hot spring water was of excellent quality—soaking in it left our whole bodies wonderfully warm. Strolling through the historic hot spring street during the day, watching the antique lamps light up at dusk, and experiencing the quiet, crowd-free town in the early morning made for amazing photos. The entire arrangement was smooth, worry-free, and effortless. It was an unforgettable trip, and I'd love to visit again next time!

since the place is far from Tokyo most of the time was taken in the journey. However, The journey itself is very peaceful and scenic. The guide has given the instructions clearly and has been very helpful throughout the trip. major highlights are the Hoshino resorts and clock tower. We couldn't go to shrine,as we reached there after the closing time due to traffic. However there's a museum very near to clock tower that highlights the festival there. It was just 100 yen ticket to enter yet totally worth the experience.

We really enjoyed the tour! The flow and itinerary were well-organized, and we had a great experience overall. However, some guests had difficulty following the schedule and tour flow, and even questioned the tour guide at times. We honestly felt bad for him, but he handled everything really well and remained patient and respectful throughout. Special thanks to our tour guide, Ko, for being so kind and always making sure everything was translated and explained clearly. We really appreciated his effort and professionalism! We also want to commend both Ko and our driver for doing a great job despite the challenges. Thank you for making our tour enjoyable. Keep up the good work!

Since my two-year-old nephew wanted to visit the Anpanman Children's Museum in Yokohama during our trip to Japan, we hired a private car for the day to avoid the hassle of public transportation. This allowed us to go to Yokohama and then make a stop at the Fujiko F. Fujio Museum on our way back to central Tokyo. Our driver, Master Zhang, was incredibly professional and punctual, and we're very grateful for his patience with our constantly noisy child in the car. We will definitely book his private car service again for our next family trip!

Around 10+ of us, mini bus, one English and Mandarin speaking guide and one driver. I like this itinerary because it starts later and combines the hitachi seaside park (kochia peaks in October) with illuminations in ashikaga flower park (starts mid October). note that the default is that the last rest area stop will be skipped, and that food will not be provided (if you select the one with food, you will have to go through the hassle of asking for refund from klook later). there are plenty of food options at the flower park. time allocated at each stop is sufficient.

Thank you, Director Liu, for today's tour. You're always so thoughtful and helpful. The weather wasn't great today, so we couldn't visit Kumoba Pond, but I really loved Koedo on the way back. 🥰 I hope to visit Kumoba Pond next time.

I was very satisfied with the Kawagoe tour booked through Klook! The driver was perfectly on time, and there were no delays to our itinerary. Throughout the service, the driver was very polite and courteous, and drove smoothly and safely. This allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the retro charm of Little Edo Kawagoe. I highly recommend this to everyone!

I wholeheartedly recommend Zhang Yanjin! This day trip to Kyoto's Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Okochi Sanso Villa, Kifune Shrine, and Sanzen-in Temple was an absolutely fulfilling experience, completely stress-free and rejuvenating. The various attractions are quite far apart, and public transportation transfers can be a real hassle. Thanks to Yanjin's excellent pre-planning of the optimal route, our time management was perfect. We never felt rushed, nor did we waste time waiting, allowing ample time at each spot for photos and leisurely exploration. At Sanzen-in Temple, he provided detailed explanations of its history and guided us to admire the moss-covered stone Buddha statues and garden scenery. At Kifune Shrine, he taught us how to experience the unique water fortune-telling and showed us the best spots for photos of the vermilion staircase lanterns. In the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and Okochi Sanso Villa, he led us away from the crowds to find quiet, picturesque corners, and even shared tips on local hidden culinary gems and things to avoid. He is incredibly gentle and patient, meticulously answering all our questions about routes, photography, and shopping. He drives smoothly and carefully, taking thoughtful care of everyone throughout the trip, with no rushing or hidden costs. This one-day tour connected ancient temples in the mountains with secret bamboo groves, offering a relaxed and comfortable itinerary without needing to plan anything ourselves. If you want a stress-free trip to Kyoto, I highly recommend Zhang Yanjin. I'll definitely book him again for my next Kansai trip!

It was a great trip. The driver Hassan knows the history of Japan very well and gave useful advice. We really liked Nara and Kyoto. Highly recommend!
