I'm not sure if it was an issue with Klook, but the itinerary visited Ginzan Onsen first and Naruko Gorge last, which is the reverse of what was written on Klook. The three attractions are quite far apart, so the drive is long, which we knew when booking. However, it is very suitable for first-time visitors to the Tohoku region, completing three sights in one day, and the stay at each attraction is quite sufficient. We stayed at Ginzan Onsen for 75 minutes, which differs from the 1.5 hours stated by Klook, but if you only do a footbath instead of a day-trip hot spring, the time is enough. As for the boat cruise, the bento box was quite good; if you can choose your seat, try to pick the right side of the vessel (with the engine at the stern). Naruko Gorge has beautiful scenery. The tour guide (Yang Liu) was responsible, providing sightseeing routes and information for each spot. When we arrived early for the boat ride, she negotiated with the boat operator for us to take an earlier departure. Additionally, today's tour participants were all very punctual, so the entire trip went very smoothly.
Although the weather was unfortunately a bit rainy today, I am so glad that we were able to visit all of the sightseeing spots right on schedule. Thank you so much to our guide, Lili, who was extremely friendly and always greeted us with a smile. During the tour, I couldn't understand the explanations in Chinese, but Lili interpreted everything into Japanese for me each time, which was a huge help. I was also very happy that she was attentive to taking photos, showing us great spots and the best places to get a good picture. I would love to join a tour guided by Lili again next time! Thank you truly for everything.
Today's weather was wonderful and the scenery was breathtaking. The itinerary was very well organized throughout the day. Thank you, tour guide Yangliu, for leading us all day long!
Tour guide Ms. Wang was warm and friendly, and handed out popular Sendai snacks to everyone on the bus. During the Mogami River boat cruise, she translated the boatman's local stories, telling how the locals persevered after repeatedly encountering natural disasters. The boatman was very friendly, singing on the boat to liven up the atmosphere, and thanked everyone for coming! Upon arriving at Ginshan Hot Spring, Ms. Wang introduced the history of each ryokan along the way and pointed out photo spots, showing great attention to detail. Driver Mr. Furukawa was kind and friendly, and his safe driving allowed tour members to rest easy during the trip. Thank you to the LION TRAVEL JAPAN team for giving me and my family such a pleasant experience on this day tour!
We were very satisfied with the transportation and itinerary of the tour. It even included a unique dining experience on a boat along the Mogami River. The tour guide provided very clear explanations as well. Highly recommended.
This was a well organized and enjoyable tour. Even with poor weather, Ginzan onsen is beautiful. There was enough time at each spot. Explainations in English were given in simple, auto translated texts through LINE. It is understandable, as the English speaking guests were a minority on the tour, but it is worth noting that the guide does not speak any English
The tour guide was professional and dedicated, the itinerary was rich and full of activities, highly recommended.
The itinerary was well planned,allowing us to explore 3 places,and transportation was smooth and hassle-free
