That was a really nice day trip! The timing for each spot was perfect, and the Genghis Khan BBQ lunch was great. Plus, the tour guide was super helpful and took some awesome photos.
I received an email the night before departure with a detailed description of how to get to the meeting point, which made me feel reassured and warm. It was easy to find the location that morning. Luckily, the tour guide, HABI, was also from Hong Kong. He was happy to answer any questions and had great photography skills, allowing my mom and me to have beautiful photos together. The point-to-point driving distances in the itinerary were not too long, so it felt relaxing, and the time spent at each attraction was sufficient. The whole trip was enjoyable, and I got to see Kochia scoparia and maple trees~~
Highly recommended. The tour left at the meeting place on time. Habi, our tour guide, was very attentive to his guests and gave good preview of the tour destinations. The itinerary was packed but enjoyed them all. My sister and I ordered the lamb meat for lunch and it was so good.
Garong was our guide this time, and every part of the tour was amazing! The timing was perfect, and we were lucky with the great weather. I signed up for the tour alone, and the guide always offered to take photos for me! I'm really grateful! I highly recommend this day tour for travelers who can't drive themselves. It's totally fine to join alone, and I had a lot of fun!!
A fall trip with heavy snow! A rare experience. An early taste of winter travel! The Genghis Khan BBQ lamb for lunch was delicious, and the desserts at the bakery cafe were great too. We even soaked our feet in the foot bath at Jozankei Futami Park. Everything went perfectly! Thank you to the tour guide for your company!
The Cosmos and Kochia Scoparia, Hachiken-zan BBQ, and Toyohira Gorge day tour was a rewarding experience. It's not easy to see vibrant red Kochia Scoparia, the autumn leaves 🍁 of Toyohira Gorge, the solemn and peaceful Hill of Buddha, and to happily enjoy Genghis Khan BBQ in the countryside all in one day. The tour guide explained the characteristics of each attraction on the bus, and the time allotted was very generous, allowing plenty of time for leisurely browsing and taking pictures. The tour guide was also considerate in helping with taking photos and carefully caring for the other members of the group. I am very grateful to him for leaving my family and me with wonderful memories.
Originally, we were going to see the autumn leaves, but it turned into a snow viewing trip. Some places were closed due to the weather, but the tour guide took us to other great spots. I loved this trip!
Although there are not many attractions, each one is so beautiful. Lunch is a surprise. You can enjoy delicious BBQ in a beautiful outdoor place. The tour guide Habi is very attentive.
