Reviews
This is a superb and wonderful tour. All the sceneries are very beautiful. We enjoyed the shrines. And the seafood at the fish market was very fresh and yummy. We especially liked the oysters! The spectacular illuminations at the flowers were very pretty and we had taken lots of beautiful photos. Overall, we enjoyed this tour very much!
We have a very caring guide, Ko in this trip. He fully understood what we wanted and gave us the necessary and appropriate information. We saw beautiful natural sceneries, visited shrines, ate lots of yummy seafood at the fish market, and saw the most incredible and unforgettable illuminations at the flower park!
We joined the Garden of Light Illumination Show + Ibaraki Red Kochia Scoparia One-Day Tour and had a wonderful time! I was able to book our 11/19 tour just the day before (on 11/18), which was super convenient. Our tour guide, Leo, was absolutely amazing — friendly, knowledgeable, and shared great information about each stop throughout the day. While the red kochia season had ended a couple weeks before our visit, it was still really nice to explore Hitachi Seaside Park and enjoy the scenery. The highlight for us was definitely Ashikaga Flower Park — the illumination was stunning and truly magical! Highly recommend this tour for a fun and memorable day trip!
The tour began smoothly everyone came early so we can start the journey 5 minutes before schedule. The Our tour guide Mr. Ko gave informative details & nice photo spots at each stop. Enjoy the tour, comfortable bus, nice photo
Guide was kind and friendly. He gave us warm barley tea which was a nice gesture! Places visited was pretty as well! Second shrine was ok not much to see so we all ended up leaving the shrine earlier. Flower park was very pretty but we wished we could spend a little more time (especially those who love to take pictures). But overall it’s a good tour and the guide is nice!
The itinerary is rich, and the scenery of the large sea torii gate is very beautiful. The fish market is large and very fresh, and the light show is also very beautiful! It is a recommended day trip.
If you liked a more personal trip without the tour guide navigating or nagging… this is the one you should sign up. We were given ample time to walk around and enjoy the sceneries on our own, since the venues weren’t those historical places won’t needing a lot of explanation and story telling. Overall, great trip!
Our tour guide LEO was punctual departing from Tokyo Station. There was enough time to visit each attraction. The only issue was that the bus was a bit small, and the seat space was too limited. It would be better if the seating could be improved.
Our tour guide, Brother Ge, has amazing driving skills, is洒洒爽快 (stylish and straightforward), easy to contact, and reassuring. The itinerary was well-arranged and worth the experience.
nice and beautiful scenery. this tour is in the form of small group but it gives us time to explore ourselves and not so rush.
