Today's itinerary was packed, but instead of going to the waterfall, we went to Kawagoe Ichiban-gai. There wasn't quite enough time to explore, only 80 minutes. We first went to Hikawa Shrine, and then went to Kawagoe Ichiban-gai, leaving us with only 30 minutes, so it was a bit rushed and we could only quickly buy some souvenirs. After that, we went strawberry picking, which was quite satisfying, achieving strawberry freedom! Finally, we went to the hot spring town to soak in the hot springs, and all the day's fatigue disappeared~ Many thanks to today's driver, Gao Hongmiao, for his great service, friendliness, and talkativeness. I hope to see you again next time.

Trip was enjoyable. There were some changes in the schedule as some places are closed and some are packed with other visitors but our tour guide replaced the itenerary with other enjoyable activities. in the end we still got our money’s worth.

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.

Easy booking through Klook. Super easy redemption at the airport. Seat reservation: No problem at the machine. But not always necessary, sometimes we just rode in the unreserved car. Staff always very friendly. We used it in Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Hiroshima. Everything worked out great.

The exchange order was delivered on time within 4 days to me. Delivery from Taiwan to Malaysia by DHL. Such a fast service. I used the exchange order to exchange for the ticket at JR office at Kansai Airport. Very convenient and super worth it as it helped me to save.

Easy to exchange the voucher for a JR Pass at any JR Office. Great value for money especially if you will be journeying to other places via the Shinkansen and also if you are staying within the Yamanote Line.

Transportation Convenience: The hotel is quite far from the city center. Although there's a bus service to the hotel, it's still a ten-plus minute walk to the Bandai business district. There are no convenience stores nearby, so it's less convenient if you're not driving. Also, the hotel doesn't offer a shuttle bus service.
Cleanliness: The hotel is clean and comfortable with a pleasant environment. Despite the distance, it feels worthwhile.
Hotel Location: The hotel is close to the Sado Kisen Ferry Terminal, which is very convenient if you plan to take a ferry to Sado Island. The hotel is also near the Bandai Fish Market.
