Reviews
The quality of the tour is very good. As long as you pay attention to the meeting time, even if the tour guide cannot provide English services, you can still have a smooth day trip. And it even comes with meals! push push
The time reserved for each designated spot is probably enough to simply walk around and take photos. If you want to buy something, you must be quick and accurate, and you cannot stroll slowly. However, this itinerary is very suitable for independent travelers who want to visit various places. The lunch was great, the scenery at Toya Lakeside Pavilion was great, and the tour guide was also very kind. Remember to pay attention to the meeting time when you arrive at the designated location.
The tour guide explains carefully, the route arrangement is good, the Chinese food is exquisite but enough, and the scenery is good
This tour was fantastic and we loved the included authentic Japanese lunch! The only frustrating area to improve is the meeting up logistics! It was super unclear and it never stated down we must exchange tickets! The meet up location also accurate. We nearly missed our bus.
The tour guide explained in detail. Although it was raining, the scenery was uniquely beautiful! Detailed collection destination. Great! Worth recommending
Very happy to be able to see very beautiful and relaxing sceneries & views during this trip. My mom (74yo) really enjoyed it and very very happy. The tour is quite relaxing and not rushing. Can sit and enjoy the view of Mt. Showa - Mt Usu calmly without having to jostle with other tour members. The lunch also super yummy. Thank you every one for everything
This is a one-day tour by bus in Japan, with full language guide commentary. Although the tour guide is Japanese and only speaks Japanese, he is still very enthusiastic. Communicate using a translator. Great experience!
The time arrangement is just right~ The car is comfortable~ The instructor and tour guide are very good and cost-effective~
This is the itinerary arranged by Hokkaido Chuo Bus. The bus is new and has sockets for charging. Lunch at Lakeside Pavilion is an exquisite set meal, and the price is a great value! The maple leaves are also beautiful.
The service was very good and the driver drove well. Hope to participate again.
