Reviews
We gathered in Nagoya at 1:00 noon, and then went to three scenic spots: Nagoya Castle, Obara Shikizakura, and Xiangren Creek. Each scenic spot took an hour. In fact, it was really not enough, especially since Xiangren River had landscapes and delicious food, so there was no time to take pictures and eat. , I had so much food that I didn’t have time to take pictures. You have to have enough time, at least 2 hours. With this tour price, we should be able to arrange to leave early in the morning, so that the trip will not be too rushed. But in the end, I have to praise the tour guide and driver. The tour guide quickly took us to the bridge at Xiangluo River. Unfortunately, we were in a hurry and had to look back at the stalls on both sides. The driver drove smoothly. It’s great to be able to visit during the Korokei Autumn Leaves Festival!!
The itinerary is well arranged and the time is controlled just right. Although each scenic spot only takes about an hour, it is enough time if you only take pictures. It would be better if you have more time in Xianglan River. This is a rare group to see the night maples of Xianglan River. The scenery is very stunning. There are Japanese people around you during the tour, which is a great experience.
There was sufficient communication to provide clear information about the meeting point. Meeting Guide Yumi was straightforward and the bus ride was very smooth. She was very hospitable and clear in her information. The autumn scenes were as spectacular as advertised and simply breathtaking.
Many thanks for Aki-san our guide and Yamada-san was an excellent, smooth driver. Some of the people in our party were a bit late but we still managed to follow the itinerary and general timings. Maybe better to remove the Nagoya Castle from the itinerary, because 30 min isn't enough to explore the castle in my opinion. Better to just add more time to Korankei and Senmi Shikizakura. We had to deal with a lot of traffic in Korankei which is due to the attraction's popularity and no fault of this tour itself.
