i needed a photographer when i travelled solo to see shibazakura festival, so i hired a photographer via klook and was assigned Taiki-san. I was actually late to my appointment because I took the wrong bus, and he kindly waited for me. He was polite and professional and managed to get the photos i wanted. Thank you!

Overall, it was a fantastic wedding photoshoot experience! From makeup and wedding dress selection to the entire shooting process, the staff were incredibly attentive. The photographers and videographers were also very patient, actively guiding our poses and expressions, which allowed us, who aren't usually good at taking photos, to relax and complete the shoot. Language communication in Chinese was absolutely no problem, and the process went very smoothly. We were also very satisfied with the final photos. The overall service and finished product exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend them!

The bus was good and arrived on time. If you purchase this ticket, you must show the screen to the staff in real-time when using it, because the ticket screen continuously displays the current time to let the driver know it is a genuine ticket and not a screenshot. (Screenshots of this ticket are not permitted by the system.)

I'm just confused at first because there's a lot of pick up point, you can't speak to them since they cannot understand you and your language only Japanese but just follow your time sched, they are kn time. Also if you're late go to the next pick up they will still allow you, as long as you have with you your voucher. So far so good, so convenient! We enjoyed our stay in Kawaguchiko. Thank you.

Buy now, receive the QR code instantly. It's much more reassuring than buying on-site, the price is cheaper, and I 100% recommend purchasing the bus tickets through Klook.
I took the 05:40 bus that morning. Although ours was the second stop—the first being the West Exit—it arrived right on time. Even though it was a weekday, the bus was completely full. We arrived at Narita Airport before 07:00 with no traffic jams. If you have luggage, it's more convenient than taking the Narita Express because you don't have to carry your own bags. The earliest Narita Express arrives at the airport at 07:30, whereas this one gets you there by 05:55, so choosing to take the Limousine Bus was a wise decision.
If you arrive at the taxi stand on the 3rd floor, you can take the elevator up to the 4th floor. Head to the South Exit 4th-floor bus terminal and board at bays A1 to A3. The staff helps load your luggage onto the bus, and all you have to do is show your QR code, which makes it super convenient.
I am 100% satisfied with the ticketing service provided by Klook this time.

Travelled as a family with 2 adult sons. There were about 16 members in our group and we rode a Toyota coaster which felt a little cramped. Our tour guide was William and he did very well speaking in Chinese and English. At Lake Kawaguchi you have to select if you want the cable car or ship ride. We got both tickets but there was no more time left for the boat ride. At Mt. Fuji 5th station and Owakudani it was very cold and windy. At Lake Ashi we opted for a picture at the torii which had a long queue, instead of hiking to the shrines. The Shuzenji Resort hotel dinner and breakfast was filling with a variety of delicious japanese food, we had a good night's sleep, especially after bathing at the onsen. Were not able to do "Matcha Mountain" but were taken to another park which was our favorite part of the tour because the view & atmosphere was very serene, a less touristy spot. At Enoshima we had a good lunch at our expense, William led us walking and then riding the train to Kamakura.

Our Mt. Fuji day tour guide, Hou Jing, and our Kamakura day tour guide, Lin Yan, were fantastic; they shared historical insights while we enjoyed the scenery from the vehicle. Naturally, day tours tend to be a bit tightly scheduled, so a whirlwind tour is to be expected, but the guides were always willing to help take photos, and their photography skills were amazing! Highly recommended overall.

Thank you to our tour guide, Xiao Zhao, for his enthusiastic help in finding the location of the shop I wanted to buy from online. It turned out to be inside Oishi Park, and he even took me there personally! I have never stayed at a hot spring hotel of such poor quality; considering the rooms, meals, and facilities, with so many hot spring hotels nearby, the agent surely could have chosen another one!
Minamitsuru at a glance
Quick facts about Minamitsuru
General info
What to know before visiting Minamitsuru
What to do in Minamitsuru
Minamitsuru is best known for its guided Tours and scenic Cable cars, with a steady share of bookings for Attraction passes and Parks & gardens; outdoor adventures also appear through Outdoor & sports activities. Klook booking data shows demand peaks in January and is noticeably higher around spring and winter, while late summer and early autumn are much quieter. Travellers choosing when to visit face a clear trade-off: decide between lively peak months for atmosphere or shoulder months for lower crowding. Klook booking data underpins these patterns and helps plan timing and activities.
Best months to go and price patterns
Demand on Klook is concentrated in January, which is the single busiest month, while September is the quietest month of the year. Prices across the last 12 months rose toward early summer: typical nightly prices were lowest in July and peaked in June, so demand and price do not always move together — January is busy without having the priciest typical price. For travellers after smaller crowds and lower prices, July to September suits quieter, more affordable visits; for peak-season atmosphere aim for January or April. Klook booking data and recent prices guide these recommendations.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Peak demand | HKD 390 |
| February | Busier than usual | HKD 398 |
| March | Peak demand | HKD 405 |
| April | Peak demand | HKD 413 |
| May | About average | HKD 405 |
| June | About average | HKD 437 |
| July | Quieter than usual | HKD 343 |
| August | Very quiet | HKD 359 |
| September | Very quiet | HKD 398 |
| October | Very quiet | HKD 382 |
| November | About average | HKD 366 |
| December | Peak demand | HKD 382 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Where to stay around Minamitsuru
Hotel nightly rates on Klook show a wide spread across districts: Oshino is typically the most affordable, around HKD 834 per night on Klook, while Narusawa sits at the priciest end, typically around HKD 3,400. That is roughly 75% more at the priciest end than the most affordable. Staying in the more affordable end tends to suit travellers prioritising budget and simple base for sightseeing, while the priciest districts suit those wanting more upscale rooms and amenities. These figures are drawn from Klook booking data and illustrate typical market choices.
Tips for travellers from Hong Kong
Most travellers from Hong Kong book experiences on Klook about 5 days ahead, while the earliest planners tend to book around 22 days out. That means you can often stay flexible and make plans a few days before travel, but in January and other peak months it helps to lock popular activities earlier. Klook booking data shows last-minute availability remains possible a day before, yet early booking gives more choice. Use Klook to reserve tours and cable‑car options ahead of peak dates to secure preferred times and keep your trip stress-free.
