Mr. Li was our driver, and there were 6 adults in total (the children are quite large and already in high school). The driver was very kind, giving him a hundred points 💯. He would confirm the time the day before! He also drove slowly, allowing me to take pictures of the Shonan Monorail in Fujisawa 💕. Because the elders were almost 80 years old, they didn't have the energy to go to Enoshima station, so thankfully we chartered a car. We quickly got in the car and returned to the hotel, and the overtime was calculated reasonably. I hope the company can provide a larger vehicle for 6 adults in the future, otherwise it's a bit too cramped 😂 Cleanliness: Very good 👍 Service: Very good 👍

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 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!

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.

Had the most amazing day ever! Special thanks to Juna (our tour guide) 🫶🏼I loved having the freedom to roam around. Everything was planned to perfection: itinerary, food recommendations, transport, communication. 10/10 recommend ⭐️ PS: don’t forget your sunscreen in summer time (you will get sunburnt!!).
