I took my parents on this tour and was lucky enough to have Mizki as our energetic guide. She shared a lot of relevant knowledge and interesting stories along the way, and even used her own little illustrations, which was so thoughtful. She went above and beyond to take care of everyone in the group. Her farewell speech was really touching. Thank you so much, Mizki! I hope we meet again someday ❤️

Very enjoyable and the pace is good even for elderly and kids. Guides are very helpful, tried to speak English to communicate. They help in taking pictures and let me borrow their personal powerbank. It's nice to explore Gunma-Kawagoe, other than Mt. Fuji. Peach picking was fun with very large ripe peaches during our trip.

This costume rental shop provides excellent service. We missed our reservation date due to rain, and the shop was very helpful in allowing us to use the service on another day. They also respond to emails very quickly. The staff is friendly and provides excellent service. The costumes are cute, clean, and have many props to choose from.

A day trip to Karuizawa offers a wonderful vacation vibe: Kumoba Pond's waters reflect the surrounding forest, and strolling along the wooden boardwalk of Harunire Terrace, enjoying coffee, desserts, and bread, is incredibly therapeutic. Karuizawa is worth planning an overnight stay next time. Tour guide Liu was friendly and professional, providing detailed explanations, covering everything from historical culture and customs to cuisine, making the overall experience perfect.

The only downside is that going to Ichiban-gai in the morning was really too early, the shops only open at 10:00, and we had to leave at 10:20. The driver was very nice and sent the location via WhatsApp, he came to pick us up, so we didn't have to walk back. Overall, very satisfied, the driver was very nice, and the kids had fun.

Excellent day tour and save the time on public transport. Arakurayama park, Mount Fuji Ropeway and Oshino Hakkai.

its time consuming to go to places so far away from the city centre. its nice to have a tour bus with a tour guide to show you around! would be much better if we had more time in Kawagoe!
