First time joining a Klook local tour - results: 1. Hakkoda Ropeway - Heavy snow the day before, heavy rain on the day of. The ropeway was closed 😅. We could only reach the ropeway station to use the restroom before leaving, and went to the Jogakura Bridge instead, where we struggled to admire the supposedly beautiful autumn leaves in the wind and rain. 2. Oirase Stream - After taking photos of the autumn leaves at Oirase Stream Park in front of the Hoshino Resort, we drove to two of the scenic spot entrances, only to find them blocked off due to landslides. The entire section was closed to traffic and pedestrians that day 😅. Indeed, the entire stream along the road had turned into a raging Yellow River. The water was very fast and looked dangerous. 3. Lake Towada - The waves were too high, so the sightseeing boat was cancelled 😅. We braved the rain to visit Towada Shrine and then had lunch. Fortunately, although all three planned itineraries were cancelled for this day trip, the local tour group still tried their best to take us to see non-scheduled scenic spots, where we saw very beautiful autumn leaves. They took us to <Jogakura Bridge, Lake Towada Observatory, Nakano Momiji Mountain area, Nakano Shrine> instead. The service was pretty good.

The itinerary had unexpected surprises. The driver, Mr. Shoji Yokoyama, had a professional and friendly service attitude. This trip to Oirase Stream wasn't just about the autumn leaves, but also about infinitely beautiful memories that will be forever etched in my heart. If I have the chance, I will definitely participate in a Klook trip again. Thank you, Klook, for the professional service. It was worthwhile, and I look forward to it!~~

Despite the language barrier and a bit of rain, the driver arranged a fantastic itinerary, allowing us to see the mountains full of autumn leaves. The driver was 100% professional. I'm 10/10 satisfied with this trip.

Highly Recommended Day Trip! This day trip was absolutely wonderful and covered so many scenic spots that I wouldn’t have been able to visit all in one day on my own. The small group size made the experience even more enjoyable and personal. A special thanks to our driver, 安田(Yasuda-san) who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. He was very polite, patient, and an excellent driver — we all felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. He also brought us to many beautiful scenic stops that were perfect for taking photos! At Mount Hokkota Ropeway, we were lucky to experience the beautiful transition from autumn to winter as we rode up — truly a magical and unforgettable moment! Overall, it was a fantastic day filled with breathtaking scenery and great photo opportunities. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see the best of the area in just one day!

This Aomori private car tour is incredibly worthwhile, and the driver, Mr. Narita, is a fantastic person 👍🏻. The autumn leaves are truly stunning. Highly recommended for larger groups.
